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.
