“…Whereas social success is cultivated through interpersonal conversations, closeness, and connection, the feeling of normalcy is closely related to social and peer norms and is shaped by observing group behaviors, adopting group attitudes, and behaving in accordance with peer expectations (Festinger, 1954;Reno, Cialdini, & Kallgren, 1993;Rhodes & Ewoldsen, 2009). There are two types of norms: descriptive norms, which specify "what most people do in a particular situation", and injunctive norms, which specify "what is typically approved in society" (Reno et al, 1993, p.104).…”

Objectives (1) Compare social norms and perceived peer use between college student cigarette, e-cigarette and/or hookah users and nonusers; and (2) Determine variables associated with social influences. Participants Undergraduate students attending a large university in the Southeast U.S. (N=511). Methods An April 2013 online survey assessed use of three types of tobacco, social norms, perception of peer use, number of smokers in life, exposure to secondhand smoke, and demographic characteristics. Results Participants indicated greater acceptance of emerging tobacco products than for cigarettes and consistently overestimated the percent of peers who use various tobacco products. Males and current users had higher social norm scores for all three forms of tobacco. Conclusion To counter marketing of alternative tobacco products, education about the dangers of their use needs to be implemented across college campuses as part of a comprehensive tobacco control strategy that also includes tobacco-free campus policies.

“…As with attitudes, subjective norms have received investigation with respect to a wide range of health behaviors, from smoking (H.-R. Lee, et al, 2006; N. Rhodes & Ewoldsen, 2009), and sexual-risk behaviors (Bleakley, et al, 2011) (Manning, 2009), to cancer prevention (Smith-McLallen & Fishbein, 2008).…”

Korean Americans represent one of the fastest growing Asian subpopulations in the United States. Despite a dramatic reduction in incidence nationwide, cervical cancer remains a major threat for Korean American women. By preventing the strains of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) known to cause cervical cancer, the HPV vaccines appear to be a promising solution to reduce the persistent disparities in cervical cancer among not only Korean Americans, but also other racial and ethnic minorities more generally. However, current literature lacks a better understanding of how cultural and behavioral factors influence Korean American women’s intention to vaccinate their adolescent daughters against HPV. This manuscript presents the results of testing the mechanisms through which interdependent self-construal (an orientation of self in which individuals define themselves primarily through their relationships with others), attitudes, and subjective norms impact Korean American mothers’ intention to vaccinate their daughters. Our findings suggest that self-construal holds promise for health communication research to not only uncover the rich variance of health-related beliefs among individuals of shared cultural descent, but also to understand the context in which these beliefs are embedded.
