The effect of self-discrepancy and discrepancy salience on alcohol consumption
Article Abstract:
It has not been possible to prove the hypothesis that higher magnitude and increased salience of self-discrepancies would lead to greater alcohol consumption during a wine tasting test. Low-salience participants were found to indicate an equivalent degree of post-salience task discrepancy awareness as high-salience participants. This indicates that the distraction task, performance-related self-discrepancies could have become activated among the quite competitive university students who represented the majority of participants. The failure to identify a main effect of discrepancy magnitude on wine consumption could have been partly attributable to sample characteristics.

Relapse precipitants and behavioral marital therapy
Article Abstract:
A study using 74 men to compare relapses and termination of relapses showed that more than one personal or situational cause is responsible for first relapse and terminating relapse also results due to several reasons. Patients who were given relapse prevention (RP) treatment in addition to behavioral marital therapy (BMT) reported shorter relapse periods than the patients who were not given RP.

Factor structure of the Socrates in a sample of primary care patients
Article Abstract:
The factor structure and concurrent and predictive evidence for validity of the short Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale (SOCRATES) were investigated. 210 men and 91 women, identified as at risk drinkers participated. The SOCRATES data shows a two factor structure, which was a better fit to the data than the three-factor structure identified by Miller and Tonigan.
