Table 4.
Univariate prediction of willingness to drink by peer norms, age, gender, prior alcohol use, and extreme peer orientation
| Predictor variables | Willingness–best-friend offer |
Willingness–classmate offer |
||
| OR | [95% CI] | OR | [95% CI] | |
| Peer norms | ||||
| Injunctive norms–close friend | 3.75 | [3.22, 4.39] | 3.54 | [3.02, 4.15] |
| Descriptive norms–close friend | 13.12 | [8.62, 20.00] | 6.86 | [4.76, 9.90] |
| Descriptive norms–classmate | 3.60 | [2.88, 4.50] | 3.52 | [2.75, 4.50] |
| Between-subjects factors | ||||
| Age | 2.13 | [1.81, 2.51] | 1.81 | [1.53, 2.13] |
| Gender | 0.87 | [0.65, 1.18] | 0.84 | [0.62, 1.13] |
| Baseline–ever sipped alcohol | 2.44 | [1.81, 3.30] | 2.07 | [1.53, 2.81] |
| Baseline–ever had full drink | 17.13 | [10.64, 27.78] | 10.50 | [6.62, 16.67] |
| Extreme peer orientation | 2.66 | [2.22, 3.18] | 2.56 | [2.16, 3.02] |
Notes: All models control for baseline age. Ns from 996 to 997 (between subjects) and 2,758 to 2,772 (within subjects). All values are significant at p < .001 with the exception of gender, which was not a significant predictor. OR = odds ratio; 95% CI = 95% confidence interval.
