“…This may help to explain distinctions made among young people between "sociable" drinkers and "unsociable" non-drinkers (e.g. Regan & Morrison, 2011). It may also help to explain men who eschew dominant discourses of masculinity or are unsuccessful in stereotypically masculine domains may be denigrated more generally and subject to broader accusations about their masculinity.…”

This study adopted a discursive approach to explore how not drinking alcohol (non-drinking) is construed in relation to masculine identity among 12 undergraduate interviewees. Three prominent discourses were revealed. First, non-drinking was constructed as something strange requiring explanation. Second, contradictory discourses constructed non-drinking as, simultaneously, unsociable yet reflective of greater sociability. Third, non-drinking was constructed as something which has greater negative social consequences for men than for women. Opportunities for challenging traditional gender role expectations are considered.

“…Fitting into a group and developing social networks become a necessary developmental task (Santor, Messervey, & Kusumakar, 2000). Identifying with a group membership strengthens students' self-identity, feeling of self-worth and benefits their social acceptance (Regan & Morrison, 2011). In this situation, they are likely to imitate normative behaviors within a group and conform to a group norm.…”

This study examined peer group influence on university student drinking in China and the indirect effects of peer pressure and self-efficacy for alcohol self-regulation. A total of 951 undergraduate university students (first, second and third year) from a university in central China completed questionnaires asking about perceived peer pressures, self-efficacy for alcohol self-regulation, and drinking frequency. Analysis of their answers showed that the drinking frequency among physical education (PE) students was higher than among the comparison group (History students). The PE students perceived greater peer pressure, and had lower self-efficacy for alcohol self-regulation, both of which contributed directly to drinking frequency. Path analysis indicated indirect effects of peer pressure and self-efficacy for alcohol self-regulation on the association between peer group membership and drinking frequency. This suggested that skills training to increase self-efficacy for alcohol self-regulation in culturally-specific settings have the potential to both directly and indirectly lower drinking rates in peer groups with high peer pressure and higher than normal drinking.

“…All of the published research using the RANDS (e.g., Regan & Morrison, 2011 has relied on concurrent self-report data. Thus, the present study offers new information about the predictive validity of the RANDS by investigating the correlations between scores on this measure, taken at Time 1, and risky drinking behavior, taken at Time 2.…”

The Regan Attitudes Toward Non-Drinkers Scale (RANDS; Regan & Morrison, 2011) was developed to address a gap in the literature whereby individuals may consume alcohol to avoid the social costs attributed to being a non-drinker. To date, the RANDS has been used in several published studies (e.g., Regan & Morrison, 2011. Findings suggest that those who score highly on the RANDS-denoting stronger endorsement of negative attitudes toward non-drinkers-tend to consume greater quantities of alcohol more frequently. Among Irish-based respondents, this construct also has been associated more consistently with self-reported alcohol consumption than variables routinely assessed in alcohol research such as sensation-seeking and peer pressure.The results of these studies suggest that the RANDS possesses good psychometric characteristics. A single-factor solution, with all items relating to the concept of the social cost of non-drinking, was identified in multiple confirmatory factor analyses (e.g., Regan & Morrison, 2011. Readability statistics also suggest that the RANDS is a highly comprehensible measure (e.g., Flesch Reading Ease = 72.9; Flesch-Kincaid Reading Grade = Grade 5.8 [Grade 6 is considered the optimal readability for the general population: Farr,
