12 What Does It Mean to be Normal? Some Facts About "Social Norms" By Bill Papin I WCnewsmagazine Contributor Wellness Matters - Social Norms High school and college years are a time when individuals develop from children to adolescents to adults. This process is often marked by expressions of individuality such as imaginative body art, body piercings in unusual places and extreme hairstyles. However, these displays are primarily superficial. In reality, these single acts of individuality are nothing more than a collective action of conformity. Most people want to conceal their differences so they fit in. The drive to be accepted through commonality is prevalent in most individuals throughout their lifetime. Everyone wants to be normal. But what does it mean to be normal? Webster defines normal as conforming to a type, standard or regular pattern. Statistically, normalcy refers to the propensity to regress towards the mean. In human nature, this refers to the tendency of people to do what the majority of other people are doing. Unfortunately, this tendency can often lead to negative consequences. One such example is peer pressure. Another is based on misinformation or a lack of information. Here is a short quiz for you: 1)Which of the following is arranged in order of most to least alcohol consumption for males: a. Freshmen, Seniors, Sophomores, Juniors b. Sophomores, Seniors, Juniors, Freshmen c. Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors d. Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen 2) What percent of WCU students don't engage in high risk driving? a. o - 24% b. 25 - 49% c. 50 - 75% d. 76 - 100% 3) What % of WCU students reported drinking only once a week or less, all? a. 19 b. 39 c. 69 d. 89 The answer to all 3 questions is C. Are you surprised? or not at Consumption of alcohol is a topic that is frequently discussed on college campuses by students and administration alike. Additionally, alcohol related mishaps receive a tremendous amount of attention and media coverage. These are just a few of the factors that lead students to overestimate the frequency and quantity of alcohol consumption by their peers. In order to help educate the college community about the true volume of alcohol consumption by college students at large and WCU students in particular, Health Services and Counseling and Psychological Services will be starting a social norms campaign here at Western. The information you will see has been created based on the most reliable data available. Statistics come from both nationwide and campus surveys. Examples are the National College Health Assessment, the Core Alcohol and Drug Study, USII 30 surveys and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test used on National Alcohol Screening Day. If there is a question about the credibility of the data, it will not be used in this campaign. For more information about social norms, contact Dr. Lari Jackson, staff psychologist at 227-7469.
