Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, 68(5), Ecological Model The RA s role: consistency and success Laid back vs By the book Rubington 1993 and 1996 Consistency across RA s helps (Kilmer, 2018) the very second that one person is good cop and lets someone go or looks the other way, they have effectively made anyone trying to do their job bad cop when they enforce policies. Underestimating support for enforcement is reflective of a normative misperception (Saltz, 2007). Kilmer, J. (2018). Prevalence, Trends, Prevention, and Conversations in a Changing Legal Climate.

Social Influence, 2, Housing s role in norm misperception (correction) Unintentional normalizing speak as attempt to relate Normalizing activities Alternative timing: Fear of competition Scare tactic programming Believing the residents bystander effect and fear of social failure means no second hand effect. Second hand effects can exacerbate norm misperception (Boekeloo et al, 2009) which may create a cycle Boekeloo, B. O., Bush, E. N., & Novik, M. G. (2009).

5 A few additional observations Lay expertise is a barrier to asking for help from campus professionals Organizational structure may not naturally lead to collaborative relationships Social consequences are high for RAs: both for action and inaction. They take it personally and have to live in the environment Gray areas and very hard to detect issues are popping up: cannabis, Rx Often want to know about signs of misuse and recovery support Physical layout of the living environment can dramatically affect both the misuse potential and an RA s ability to intervene A utilitarian view of collaboration Access to students Delivery of information Delivering students (actually getting them to your event) Source of information on students Ready set of highly competent peers Building inroads: WIIFM Bulletin Boards in a Box Supporting their interests, access and expertise (e.g., Aztec Nights, Learning Centers) Work with admin to include wellness events in their 1 st week activity 5
