Abstract

Objective: The current study examines college students' perceptions of same-gender and opposite gender peer norms for bystander behaviors in drinking contexts, as well as the association between perceived norms and participants' willingness to intervene and actual behavior.

Method: Participants completed an online survey assessing bystander-related perceived norms, willingness, and behavior. A subset of participants also completed a measure of bystander behavior 4-months later.

Results: The results indicated a divergent pattern of normative misperceptions for descriptive and injunctive norms, in which participants overestimated descriptive norms and underestimated injunctive norms. Further, participants who perceived greater perceived injunctive norms reported greater willingness to intervene in the future. While those who perceived that their peers intervened more frequently were more likely to have engaged in bystander behavior at baseline and the four-month follow-up.

Conclusions: Results also suggest that the role of gender-specific norms is complex and dependent on participants' own gender. The results indicate the potential value of developing norms-based interventions addressing bystander behaviors and implications for the types of normative misperceptions to target.

(Mis)对旁观者行为的感知和认可:特定性别感知规范的作用。
目的:本研究考察了大学生对饮酒环境中旁观者行为的同性和异性同伴规范的感知,以及感知规范与参与者干预意愿和实际行为之间的关系。方法:参与者完成了一项在线调查,评估与旁观者相关的感知规范、意愿和行为。一部分参与者在4个月后完成了对旁观者行为的测量。结果:研究结果表明,参与者对描述性规范和禁令性规范存在不同的规范误解模式,其中参与者高估了描述性规范,低估了禁令性规范。此外,感知到更强的禁令规范的参与者报告说,他们更愿意在未来进行干预。而那些认为同龄人干预频率更高的人更有可能在基线和四个月的随访中参与旁观者行为。结论:结果还表明,特定性别规范的作用是复杂的,取决于参与者自己的性别。研究结果表明,制定基于规范的干预措施,解决旁观者行为的潜在价值,以及对所针对的规范误解类型的影响。
