Hierarchical Regression Models of Females’ Perceived Reflective Normative Preferences Predicting Individual Alcohol Use, Controlling For Demographics, and Perceived Same-Sex Norms Preferences Predicting Individual Alcohol Use, Controlling for Demographics and Perceived Same-Sex Norms

Predictor	R2 change	Final B	Final β
Model 1: Amount of drinking
Step 1	.16*
Race/ethnicity		1.25	.10*
Greek status		3.86	.27*
Class standing		0.12	.02
Perceived same-sex norms		0.11	.12*
Step 2	.04*
Drinks per occasiona		0.26	.10*
Maximum drinksa		0.31	.16*
Final model: F(6, 2129) = 89.58*, R2 = .20
Model 2: Interpersonal relationships
Step 1	.16*
Race/ethnicity		1.34	.11*
Greek status		3.78	.26*
Class standing		−0.02	−.01
Perceived same-sex norms		0.14	.15*
Step 2	.05*
Friendsa		1.17	.17*
Sexual partnersa		−0.21	−.03
Dating partnersa		1.12	.12*
Final model: F(7, 2132) = 80.10*, R2 = .21

Note. For race/ethnicity: 0 = all other racial groups, 1 = White/Caucasian. For Greek status: 0 = non-Greek, 1 =Greek. For class standing: 1 = freshman, 2 = sophomore, 3 = junior, 4 = senior.
