TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Influencing college student drinking intentions with social norms and self-schema matched messages: differences between low and high self-monitors JO - Health marketing quarterly A1 - Miller, Megan M. A1 - Brannon, Laura A. SP - 297 EP - 312 VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - College students were exposed to either a self-schema matched message (emphasizing how binge drinking is inconsistent with personal values) or a social norms message (highlighting the true normative drinking behavior of peers). As predicted, low self-monitors intended to drink significantly less alcohol if they received the self-schema matched message versus the social norms message, and high self-monitors intended to drink less if they received the social norms message versus a self-schema message. While previous research supports both techniques for marketing responsible college student drinking, the current results suggest that each method may be especially effective for certain audiences.
