Resumo: Social norms may contribute to alcohol consumption in college students. Perceived consumption and peer approval during college may be predictive to alcohol intake. We intend to describe the relation between alcohol consumption and social norms in college students. A systematic literature review, through a meta-synthesis and a meta-analysis, was performed. A random-effect model to assess the effect size was performed. A total of 21 studies were included in the meta-synthesis. Of these, 8 were included in the meta-analysis. Significant associations were found between alcohol consumption and descriptive and injunctive norms, with peer pressure, consumption intention and type of consumption. It was also verified that students with higher levels of social norms were more likely to adhere to alcohol consumption. The relationship between alcohol consumption and descriptive norms may be due to students’ overestimation of consumption and attitudes of their peers. The association with injunctive norms may be due to the relevance attributed to their peer’s perception about their own behaviours and consumptions. Alcohol consumption is related with social norms, gender, peer influence/pressure and with alcohol consumption intention. However, the role of social approval and identity regarding alcohol consumption shouldn’t be disregarded.

A perceção de consumos e aprovação destes por parte dos pares, poderão predizer o consumo de álcool nestes. Assim, pretende-se descrever a relação entre o consumo de álcool com as normas sociais em estudantes universitários. Estudo de revisão sistemática da literatura, concretizada através de meta-síntese e meta análise. Um total de 21 estudos foram incluídos na meta-síntese. Destes, 8 foram incluídos na meta-análise. Verificaram-se associações significativas entre o consume de álcool com as normas descritivas e injuntivas, com a pressão de pares, com as intenções de consumo e com o tipo de consumo. Também se observou que estudantes com maiores níveis de normas sociais, são mais prováveis de aderirem ao consumo de álcool. A relação entre o consumo de álcool e as normas descritivas poderá ser devido à sobrestimação dos consumos e atitudes dos seus pares. A associação entre as normas injuntivas poderá ser devido à importância atribuída à perceção dos seus pares ao seu próprio comportamento e consumo. O consumo de álcool encontra-se relacionado com as normas sociais, sexo, influência/pressão de pares e com as intenções de consumo. Porém, o papel das aprovação e identidade social nos consumos etílicos não deve ser considerado.Las normas sociales pueden contribuir al consumo de alcohol en los estudiantes universitarios. El consumo percibido y la aprobación de sus pares durante la universidad pueden predecir la ingesta de alcohol. La revisión persigue describir la relación entre el consumo de alcohol y las normas sociales entre los estudiantes universitarios. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura, a través de meta-síntesis y metanálisis. Un total de 21 estudios se incluyeron en la meta-síntesis. De estos, 8 se incluyeron en el metanálisis. Se encontraron asociaciones significativas entre el consumo de alcohol y las normas sociales, con la presión de los pares, las intenciones y tipo de consumo. También se verificó que los estudiantes con niveles más altos de normas sociales tenían más probabilidades de ingerir alcohol. La relación entre el consumo de alcohol y las normas descriptivas puede deberse a la sobreestimación del consumo de sus pares. La asociación con las normas injuntivas puede deberse a la relevancia dada a la percepción de sus pares al su propio comportamiento e consumo. El consumo de alcohol puede estar relacionado con las normas sociales, el género, la influencia / presión de los pares y con la intención de consumo de alcohol. Sin embargo, se debe de tener en cuenta el papel que la aprobación e identidad social tienen en el consumo de alcohol.CIDTFF - Universidade de Aveiro2023-07-27T13:02:16Z2017-12-19T00:00:00Z2017-12-19info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10773/39125eng1647-358210.34624/id.v9i4.724Mostardinha, António RamalhoPereira, Anabelainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-22T12:16:27Zoai:ria.ua.pt:10773/39125Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:09:24.244413Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
