Testing competing models of injunctive and descriptive norms for proximal and distal reference groups on alcohol attitudes and behavior.

CONCLUSIONS: A novel contribution of the study is the scrutiny of competing models of alcohol norms using the same multifaceted measures. Disparate implications emerge about the role of subjective norms as a function of the approach to compute the constructs. The most nuanced insights were obtained in the final comprehensive model involving the representation of norms at the finest level of specificity. PMID: 29175291 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
