“…Some suggest that drinking behavior may be influenced through social modeling (Caudill & Lipscomb, 1980;Caudill & Marlatt, 1975;Collins & Marlatt, 1981;Collins, Parks, & Marlatt, 1985;Quigley & Collins, 1999;Wood, Read, Palfai, & Stevenson, 2001). This is consistent with findings that indicate adolescents with higher exposure to adults and peers who drink are more likely to drink, to begin drinking at an earlier age, to drink more frequently, and to consume larger quantities of alcohol.…”

The impact of adolescents' exposure to alcohol use and perceived disapproval of underage drinking on age of first alcohol use and subsequent frequency and level of alcohol use is examined using data from a cross-sectional, nationally representative sample. All respondents ages 12-20 were selected for analysis. Higher levels of exposure and lower levels of perceived disapproval were associated with lower age of onset, greater frequency of alcohol use, and higher levels of alcohol use among adolescents. Furthermore, the average age of onset of alcohol use for the entire sample was 13.8 years. These findings suggest that alcohol prevention should begin at a young age and should include educating parents and community members about the impact of their attitudes and behaviors toward alcohol use, as well as more traditional efforts, which concentrate on preventing alcohol use by targeting relationships with peers and friends.

“…Initial research on the effect of modeled consumption rates on social drinking (Caudill & Marlatt, 1975) suggested that heavy-drinking men tended to match the consumption of their drinking partner whether his consumption was heavy or light. Subsequent examinations of this phenomenon replicated these findings in laboratory analogue drinking tasks such as the taste-rating task (Cooper, Waterhouse, & Sobell, 1979;Hendricks, Sobell, & Cooper, 1978;Lied & Marlatt, 1979;Watson & Sobell, 1982), natural bar settings (Reid, 1978), and seminaturalistic bar settings (Caudill & Lipscomb, 1980).…”

Two studies were conducted to assess variables related to the social determinants of alcohol consumption. In Study 1, moderate-and heavy-drinking male undergraduates were paired with confederates who behaved in a sociable or unsociable manner while modeling either light or heavy consumption. Modeling occurred in the sociable conditions but not in the unsociable conditions, where subjects tended to drink heavily. In Study 2, a similar group of subjects was exposed to one of three social status conditions crossed with light versus heavy consumption. The results indicated a modeling effect in all social status conditions. These studies provide further support for the existence of a modeling effect that can be disrupted by a lack of rapport between drinking partners. This latter finding has implications for the etiology of problem drinking because it suggests that increased alcohol consumption may serve as a strategy for coping with aversive social interactions.

“…Third, only studies were included in which effect sizes could be calculated from the statistics reported in the article (i.e., means, standard deviations and sample size, or inferential statistics for the comparison between heavy and light model conditions). (1) Of the 14 articles identified, four (Caudill and Lipscomb, 1980;DeRicco and Garlington, 1977;DeRicco and Niemann, 1980;Garlington and DeRicco, 1977) did not provide adequate statistics for the calculation of effect sizes and were dropped from the subsequent analysis. We were able to obtain two of the three unpublished dissertations (Becotte, 1987, andWilkins, 1980).…”

Objective: Modeling, or the imitation of another's behavior, has been proposed to influence alcohol consumption. The literature dealing with effects of modeling on alcohol consumption was reviewed using meta-analytic procedures in order to determine the strength of the modeling effect and the variables that moderate the effect. Method: Thirteen studies were examined in which participant's alcohol consumption in the presence of a high consumption model was compared to a low consumption model condition or a no-model condition. Analyses were conducted for the four dependent measures utilized in the literature: amount consumed, blood alcohol concentration, number of sips taken and volume per sip. Mean effect sizes (d) were calculated for each dependent measure and moderator variables were examined. Results: Modeling had a significant effect on all four dependent measures, with the strongest effects being on amount consumed and blood alcohol concentration. In addition, analyses identified numerous variables that moderate the effect of modeling on alcohol consumption, including the drinking history of the participant, the drinking task used and the nature of the interaction between model and participant. Conclusions: Results indicated that modeling has a strong effect on alcohol consumption; however, several variables do mediate this effect. (J. Stud.
