The roles of alcohol and alcohol expectancy in the dampening of responses to hyperventilation among high anxiety sensitive young adults
Article Abstract:
Young adult test subjects with anxiety sensitivity were studied to see if the expectation of tension reduction through the drinking of alcoholic beverages would cause subjects given a placebo to react similarly to individuals given actual alcohol. Subjects were placed in a hyperventilation chamber. Those given the placebo had much higher anxiety than alcohol drinkers.
