✦ Synopsis

Few studies have examined social norm theory with subpopulations of college students. In this study, the authors examined the relationships between social norms and student‐athlete drinking. Results suggest drinking is a function of proximal norms, particularly related to teammates. Implications for counselor interventions are discussed.
