Table 5.

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
Willingness–classmate offer
OR [95% CI] OR [95% CI]
Univariate
 Injunctive norms–close friend 2.98 [2.56, 3.46] 2.74 [2.34, 3.22]
 Descriptive norms–close friend 7.05 [4.52, 10.99] 3.92 [2.68, 5.71]
 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]
 Descriptive norms–classmate 1.66 [1.30, 2.12] 1.63 [1.23, 2.16]

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.
