 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed research will be the first study to focus on experimentally manipulating both injunctive and descriptive norms on Facebook in order to elucidate the relationship between alcohol and abstainer displays on Facebook and subsequent alcohol cognitions, use, and related negative consequences. Based on literature focusing on developmentally appropriate health models for adolescents, the Prototype Willingness Model (PWM) assumes that health-risk behaviors occur either when individuals have developed intentions to engage in a risk behavior (and these intentions vary as a function of attitudes and perceived injunctive norms) or through willingness to engage in risks (which varies as a function of perceived vulnerability to negative consequences, perceived descriptive norms, and prototypes). To fully understand the relationships between alcohol abstaining displays on Facebook, we will examine 1) the role of descriptive and injunctive abstainer and user norms, when experimentally manipulated with Facebook profiles, on willingness and intentions, subsequent alcohol use and related negative consequences among adolescents (age 15-20) 2) whether intentions and willingness mediate the relation between our experimental manipulation and subsequent alcohol use and negative consequences and whether 3) individual differences in social influence moderate the effect of the experimental manipulation on intentions, willingness, alcohol use, and negative consequences. We will test these aims by recruiting a community sample of adolescents (N = 300), living in the greater Seattle metropolitan area. Participants will complete a web-based baseline assessment and participate in an in-person experimental manipulation in which they are either assigned to see same-sex Facebook profiles of alcohol abstainers, abstainers +users, or a control condition where neither user or abstainer information will be provided. Immediately after the manipulation, participants will answers a series of questions about the profiles they just viewed and their alcohol-related cognitions. Participants will also complete a one-month in person follow up assessment to test for impacts on intentions, willingness, alcohol use, and related negative consequences. Additionally, individual differences in social influence will be examined as possible moderators of the relationship between SNS-portrayed norms and our primary outcomes. The proposed study is both significant and innovative in that it uses a theoretical perspective to experimentally test th impact of alcohol content, in particular abstainer norms, on Facebook on adolescent alcohol use and related cognitions. The results have the potential to inform preventative interventions while addressing NIH priorities.

 描述（由适用提供）：拟议的研究将是第一个研究Facebook上的禁令和描述性规范，以阐明酒精和戒酒者在Facebook上的关系以及随后的酒精认知，使用，使用以及相关的负面后果之间的关系。基于专注于青少年发展适当的健康模型的文献，原型意愿模型（PWM）假设健康风险行为是在个人出现意图以进行风险行为的意图时发生的，而这些意图因受访者和可感知的禁令而变化，或者通过正常的愿意（这些愿意）从事风险（这些意愿），而这种风险是不及时的，而这是一种不适的态度（这些意愿，而这种态度都可以使人变得无处不在，而这一范围却是一种易于实现的行为，而这一范围却被视为易于实现的态度（原型）。要充分了解戒酒之间在Facebook上显示的关系，我们将研究1）描述性和禁令的戒除和用户规范的作用，当通过Facebook概况进行实验操纵时，就意愿和意图，随后的酒精使用以及在青少年的愿意以及相关的负面后果（15-20）之间的相关后果以及3）是否介绍了您的意图和不愿意之间的关系以及是否介绍了3岁的相关后果（2）2）社会影响力减轻了实验操纵对意图，意愿，饮酒和负面后果的影响。我们将通过招募居住在大西雅图大都市地区的青少年（n = 300）的社区样本来测试这些目标。参与者将完成基于网络的基线评估，并参与面对面的实验操作，在该操作中，他们要么被分配来查看同性的Facebook饮酒者，戒酒者 +用户或无法提供用户或弃用信息的控制条件。操纵后，参与者将立即回答有关他们刚刚查看的概况以及与酒精相关的认知的一系列问题。参与者还将在跟进评估后完成一个月的时间，以测试对意图，意愿，饮酒和相关负面后果的影响。此外，将检查社会影响的个体差异，以作为SNS-Portrays规范与我们的主要结果之间关系的可能调节者。拟议的研究既重要又具有创新性，因为它使用理论观点来对酒精含量（尤其是戒酒规范）对Facebook对青少年酒精使用和相关认知的影响进行实验性测试。结果有可能在解决NIH优先级时告知预防干预措施。
