“…The ubiquity of alcohol's association with social interaction among college students has been documented in multiple domains, including social factors (e.g., Borsari and Carey, 2001;Neighbors et al, 2007a), social motives (e.g., Cooper et al, 1992Cooper et al, , 1995, and social expectancies (e.g., Baer, 2002;Burden and Maisto, 2000). Echoing theories of implicit social cognition (e.g., Greenwald and Banaji, 1995), an assumption of the present study is that the connections between social interactions and drinking may result in associations in memory between alcohol and social interaction; that is, associations about alcohol may be automatically activated by being in or thinking about certain social contexts.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Little research has examined contextual infl uences on implicit measures of alcohol-related cognitions. The current study investigated whether contexts involving alcohol or social dating would affect automatic alcohol approach-avoid associations. Method: Undergraduates (n = 112 women, 109 men) completed an Implicit Association Test (IAT) that measured alcohol approach-avoid associations before and after reading a vignette about a date that differed on two dimensions: (1) whether alcohol was present or absent and (2) whether the date ended in attraction or friendship. Results: When the vignette included an alcohol context, alcohol IAT scores increased from baseline (e.g., increased alcohol and approach associations). In a nonalcohol context, alcohol IAT scores increased from baseline when the date was not successful but not when it was successful. Conclusions: These results contribute to social cognitive science by indicating not only that social contexts with alcohol can infl uence automatic alcohol associations but also that social contexts without alcohol can infl uence automatic alcohol associations.

“…Results indicate that more drinks per week were associated with more positive evaluations of consequences. Moreover, heavier drinkers have higher positive expectancies (Burden & Maisto, 2000;Fromme et al, 1993;Wood et al, 1996) and higher perceived drinking norms . Heavier drinkers may have social networks that have a higher proportion of heavy drinkers who are likely to experience more consequences.…”

“…Evaluations of alcohol outcomes have previously been examined in the context of alcohol expectancy effects, demonstrating the utility of distinguishing between expectancies and evaluations of expectancies related to drinking (Burden & Maisto, 2000;Fromme et al, 1993;Wood et al, 1996). More recent research has focused specifically on students' evaluations of negative consequences and how these perceptions influence their future drinking behavior (Mallett et al, 2013;Patrick & Maggs, 2011;White & Ray, 2014).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: A key assumption when assessing alcoholrelated problems is that these problems are considered negative. A growing literature suggests that college drinkers do not perceive all measured consequences to be negative. Research has established the impact of others' beliefs on personal beliefs and behaviors. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of perceptions of others' evaluations (POE) of consequences on one's own evaluations and subsequent experiences of consequences. Method: A sample of 885 heavy drinking college students participated in a longitudinal study. Participants reported the number of alcoholic drinks consumed per week, experiences of alcoholrelated problems, evaluations of those consequences, and perceptions of how typical university students evaluate those consequences. A moderated mediation of POE on negative alcohol-related consequences via evaluations of consequences at differing levels of alcohol consumption was conducted, with gender, baseline consequences, and intervention effects being controlled for. Results: Results indicated that POE had no direct effect on subsequent consequences. However, an indirect effect was found through evaluations of consequences, such that there was a positive association between both POE and evaluations of consequences, and evaluations of consequences and subsequent consequences. Average weekly drinking moderated the association between POE and evaluations of consequences, such that the association between POE and evaluations of consequences was stronger for those who drank more heavily. Conclusions: Results are consistent with social cognition processes, such as pluralistic ignorance, and suggest that POE and evaluations of consequences should be considered in the construction of interventions targeting heavy-drinking college students.

“…This suggests that, while the delinquency variables likely share in the ability to predict alcohol use problems, it is the personal values of the adolescent that carry the most substantial individual weight. Only one other study is known to have shown the ability of attitudes to outperform other key variables in the prediction of drinking, and that was among college students who might be expected to have developed greater independence in thought and action (Burden & Maisto, 2000). As such, these findings call for replication, especially in a sample with a greater number of female participants.…”

This investigation examined mediators of the longitudinal relation between negative affectivity and the development of problematic drinking behavior in adolescent boys and girls. In the present study, 499 early adolescents completed inventories of negative affectivity, attitudes toward delinquency, personal delinquency, and affiliation with delinquent peers. Positive attitudes toward delinquency emerged as the most consistent mediator and strongly predicted drinking frequency in various situations. Compared with personal delinquency, both attitudes toward delinquency and peer delinquency were superior predictors of affect-related drinking. Our results also demonstrated that positive attitudes toward delinquency mediated the relation between negative affectivity and later development of an alcohol use disorder. These findings suggest that a proneness to unpleasant affect impacts adolescent drinking by heightening risk for general rejection of normative behavior, rather than by increasing drinking as a means of managing affect. The importance and implications of testing delinquency variables together in the same model are discussed.
