Alcohol expectancies and social deficits relating to problem drinking among college students

Article Abstract:

Problem drinkers expect more sexual enhancement, arousal, improvements in cognitive and motor abilities, improvements in social behaviour, global positive change and relaxation and tension reduction as a result of drinking alcohol than non-problem drinkers. This research sought to improve understanding of the relationship between social functioning and problem drinking and to look at the links between problem drinking and alcohol expectancies. It was not found that particular types of alcohol expectancies and social functioning interacted to affect problem drinking status.

Effects of alcohol and expectancy on self disclosure and anxiety in male and female social drinkers

Article Abstract:

Studies have shown that alcohol increases both the quality and quantity of male alcoholics' social interaction. A group of male and female social drinkers were assessed to study the effects of alcohol consumption and expectancy on self-disclosure and self-reported anxiety during a social interaction. Results indicate that alcohol consumption has no influence on the amount of social interaction, although it increases the level of self-disclosures.

The association of depression and problem drinking: analysis from the Baltimore ECA follow-up study

Article Abstract:

A study of problem drinkers with depressive symptoms during the previous year did not show a statistically significant increase in drinking over those without depression. While depressed men showed a slight increase in alcohol consumption, depressed women with drinking problems were less likely to increase alcohol consumption.
