Peer pressure is consistently implicated in the excessive drinking of college students. However, both theory and empirical findings suggest that peer pressure is a combination of three distinct influences: overt offers of alcohol, modeling, and social norms. Overt offers of alcohol can range from polite gestures to intense goading or commands to drink. Modeling occurs when the student's behavior corresponds to another student's concurrent drinking behavior. Perceived social norms can serve to make excessive alcohol use appear common and acceptable to the student. This review critically examines the literature on each form of peer influence and provides suggestions for future research. D

Modeling Influences on Alcoholics' Rates of Alcohol Consumption

Two experiments were designed to examine modeling influences on alcoholics' alcohol consumption. Three male alcoholics were paired with confederates, posing as alcoholics. In Experiment 1, alcoholic-confederate pairs participated in a 1-hour taste-rating task, which involved rating different wines on a list of adjectives. Experiment 2 consisted of 1-hour ad lib access to wine in a naturalistic bar setting. In both experiments, confederates alternated 15-minute periods of heavy and light consumption, drinking fluids resembling wine. The amount of wine consumed by alcoholics in each period was secretly recorded and the data examined on a single subject basis. In Experiment 1, two subjects increased and decreased consumption along with their confederate. The third subject followed the confederate's pattern only after the confederate demonstrated heavy consumption. All three subjects varied consumption with the confederate during Experiment 2, performed later on the same day. These results suggest that alcoholics' alcohol consumption can be modified by the social influences of modeling. The implications of this finding for the loss of control hypothesis and alcoholism treatment maintenance were discussed.

“…From then on, the research assistant would closely follow the subject's drinking behavior. This was to control for modelling effects (Garlington & Dericco, 1977;Lied & Marlatt, 1979;Tomaszewski, Strickler & Maxwell, 1980).…”

The influence of setting on consumption in the balanced placebo design

Previous research using the balanced placebo design has demonstrated that instructions about alcohol content of a beverage affect consumption more than actual alcohol content. In the present experiment the balanced placebo design was expanded to include a dimension of context. The design was a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial with expectancy about alcohol content, actual alcohol content, and setting in which the experiment was conducted as factors. The setting factor involved conducting the experiment either in a laboratory setting typical of most balanced placebo research or in an actual bar-room. Results obtained in the laboratory setting replicated the basic finding that subjects consumed more beverage when they believed it contained alcohol than when they believed it did not contain alcohol, regardless of actual alcohol content. Consumption in the bar-room setting was higher than in the laboratory setting, and most importantly, consumption was not differentially affected by instruction about alcohol content or actual alcohol content. These results demonstrate the important role of setting on beverage consumption, and suggest the need to investigate factors thought to affect consumption in natural drinking environments.
