“…These researchers found that during the abstinent (dry) stage, families exhibited better problem-solving skills and communication, more functional role status, and more affective responsiveness and involvement. However, a study by Frankenstein, Hay, and Nathan (1985), found that the alcoholic contributed more problem-solving suggestions during the intoxicated state, and overall problem solving was more productive during this state.…”

“…Neither the no alcohol nor the placebo conditions led to increased negativity. Although there are exceptions (e.g., Frankenstein, Hay, & Nathan, 1982), most studies in this area tend to support the hypothesis that administration of alcohol in the context of marital conflict appears to increase negative interactions (e.g., Jacob, Leonard, & Haber, 2001;Jacob & Leonard, 1988).…”

“…Alcohol consumption was associated with increased negativity for high (but not low) antisocial alcoholics (Jacob et al, 2001) and for couples in which both partners were alcoholic (Haber and Jacob, 1997) but not among normal controls (Jacob and Krahn, 1988). Positive effects of alcohol were observed in one small sample of alcoholic couples (Frankenstein et al, 1985). Interpretation of these studies is complicated by the fact that participants chose how much alcohol to drink, and alcoholics drank much more than nonalcoholics.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Although couples' alcohol use has been associated with intimate partner aggression and poorer marital functioning, few studies have examined the proximal effects of alcohol on couple interactions. The current experimental study examined the effects of alcohol, administered independently to male and female intimate partners, on positive and negative interaction behaviors within a naturalistic confl ict resolution paradigm. Method: Married and cohabiting couples (n = 152) were recruited from the community and each partner randomly assigned to receive either alcohol (target dose: .08 mg/kg) or no alcohol. They engaged in two 15-minute interactions regarding current disagreements in their relationship, one before and one after beverage administration. Videotaped interactions were coded by trained observers using the Rapid Marital Interaction Coding System, and positive and negative interaction behaviors were analyzed using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model. Results: Participants displayed decreased negativity and increased positivity following alcohol consumption when their partners were sober but no differences in negativity or positivity when their partners also consumed alcohol. There were no gender differences. Although participants with a history of perpetrating intimate partner aggression displayed more negativity, prior aggression did not interact with beverage condition. Conclusions: The immediate effects of alcohol consumption on couple interaction behaviors appeared more positive than negative. Contrary to hypotheses, congruent partner drinking had neither particularly positive nor particularly negative effects. These unique fi ndings represent a rare glimpse into the immediate consequences of alcohol consumption on couple interaction and stand in contrast to its delayed or long-term effects. (J. Stud.
