“…showing that prototype manipulation did not affect alcohol consumption (Todd & Mullan, 2011). As well, this could depend on the specific measure used in the present study to assess prototype perceptions, because recent research has shown that more "extreme" drinker prototypes (heavy drinker or abstainer prototypes) are most predictive of alcohol consumption among adolescents (Teunissen, Spijkerman, Kuntsche, Engels, & Scholte, 2017). However, willingness was found to be the best predictor of intentions, despite its direct effect on the behaviour was lower than that of intentions.…”

The aim of the present manuscript is to test and compare the theory of reasoned action (TRA), theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and prototype-willingness model (PWM) in predicting risky alcohol consumption among adolescents and to build an integrative model to get a more comprehensive understanding of such risky behaviour. A total sample of 518 adolescents (55% females; 13-19 aged) recruited from Italian schools (7th to 12th grade) participated in a cross-sectional research study and completed an online questionnaire. Risky alcohol use assessed through the AUDIT-C was the dependent variable; whereas, variables from the TRA, TPB, and PWM (i.e. attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, intention, prototype favourability and similarity, and willingness to alcohol use) were used as predictors. Data were analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings show that the integrative model had greater explanatory power and provided a better fit to the data, compared to the TRA, TPB, and PWM, indicating attitudes and subjective norms as the best predictors. In conclusion, perceived social approval from significant others and the volitional component have a central role in understanding adolescents’ alcohol consumption.

“…The sociable ARC poster prototype was also significantly associated with increased drinking behaviors (b-path). A study found that adolescents who saw themselves as similar to heavy drinker prototypes were more likely to drink excessively in social situations (Teunissen et al, 2017). The more similar the person feels to the prototype, the more favorable they consider the prototype, and the more willing they are to engage in that behavior (Litt & Lewis, 2016;Teunissen et al, 2014Teunissen et al, , 2017Todd & Mullan, 2011;Zimmermann et al, 2017).…”

Background Drinking is a public health concern among college students. Viewing and posting alcohol‐related content (ARC) on social media may influence students' favorable prototypes of people who post, thereby impacting their drinking. This study created a measure to explore students' ARC poster prototypes. We validated our measure by examining the prototypes as mediators of the associations between viewing and posting ARC and drinking behaviors. Methods Students (N = 8065) were asked to complete measures related to viewing and posting ARC, drinking behaviors, and adjectives that described their perceptions of the prototypical college student who posts ARC on social media. Results Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis yielded three prototypical images of students who post ARC on social media: hedonistic, despondent, and sociable. There were significant pathways between viewing and posting ARC and drinking. The sociable prototype emerged as a significant mediator of the association between ARC viewing and posting and drinking. Conclusions Understanding the role of students' poster prototypes may be important for informing targeted interventions. Our results indicate that the underlying reason for increased drinking among students with greater ARC engagement is that they perceived other ARC viewers and posters as being more sociable. Future research may focus on modifying these perceptions.
