Univariate and multivariate prediction of willingness to drink, controlling for between-subjects factors (baseline age, gender, race, ever sipped, ever full drink, extreme peer orientation)
Predictor variables | Willingness–best-friend offer |

OR | [95% CI] | OR | [95% CI] | |

Injunctive norms–close friend | 2.98 | [2.56, 3.46] | 2.74 | [2.34, 3.22] |

Descriptive norms–classmate | 2.48 | [1.96, 3.12] | 2.37 | [1.82, 3.08] |
Multivariate | ||||
Injunctive norms–close friend | 2.46 | [2.11, 2.88] | 2.38 | [2.02, 2.81] |
Descriptive norms–close friend | 2.66 | [1.73, 4.08] | 1.63 | [1.11, 2.38] |

Notes: N from 987 to 989 (between subjects) and N = 2,779 (within subjects). All values are significant at p < .001, with the exception of descriptive norms for close friend in the multivariate analysis (p < .05). To handle convergence problems in the multivariate models, we removed the random effects for each of the three norms variables. OR = odds ratio; 95% CI = 95% confidence interval.
