Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of vulnerability, subjective norms, prototypes and willingness on alcohol use concurrently (T1) and prospectively (two years later; T2) on 126 high school students. Alcohol consumption by friends and parents and willingness were concurrently positively related to alcohol use. Perception of vulnerability was a positive predictor only when parents' subjective norms were included in analysis. Considering alcohol consumption at T2, willingness, friends' alcohol consumption, and friends' reaction were significant predictors of drinking. While willingness has had a consistent contribution to drinking, parents' influence becomes weaker in comparison to the friends' as adolescents get older.
