“…The influence of context on behaviors that are externally imposed and susceptible to environmental stimuli has been investigated in other areas of behavioral research, including the rates of alcohol intake among social drinkers (Tomaszewski, Strickler, & Maxwell, 1980), eating behaviors in families (Lindsay, Sussner, Greaney, & Peterson, 2009), and relapse in drug use (Walton, Reischl, & Ramanathan, 1995). While many environments have a potential to influence risky sexual behavior among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM), available literature identifies social/sexual venues, social networks, the Internet, and neighborhoods as important in sexual behavior and HIV transmission.…”

This cross-sectional survey study is an analysis of the combined effects of contextual and personal factors in socialization, meeting of sexual partners, and sexual risk-taking among 529 young gay, bisexual, and other young men who have sex with men (ages 13-29 years). Results of binary logistic regression indicated that (a) the majority of the participants socialized outside of their home neighborhoods; (b) 13-to 20-year-olds utilized social circles to meet casual sex partners significantly more than 21-to 29-year-olds, who were more likely to make use of mainstream gay venues for this purpose; and (c) the participants who met sex partners at mainstream gay venues were less likely to engage in unprotected anal sex than those who partnered via the Internet.

“… Mean sip size is divided by total time spent drinking, to give sip rate. Tomaszewski et al ( 1980 ) Sip duration Time taken to drink a sip. Related concepts are orosensory exposure time and total bout duration (although these are often operationalised as a total – i.e., across all sips – while sip durations often refer to an average based on individual sips).…”

Much of the global burden of disease is attributable to unhealthy behaviour, including excessive consumption of alcohol and sugarsweetened beverages. Developing effective methods to change these drinking behaviours could inform policies to improve population health. In line with an increasing interest in environmental-level interventionsi.e., changing the environment in which a behaviour occurs in order to change the behaviour of interestthis review first describes the existing evidence of the impact of glassware design (including capacity and shape) on drinking behaviours (e.g., at the 'micro' levelincluding sip size, as well as at the macro levelincluding amount consumed). The roles of two sets of possible underlying mechanismsperception and affordanceare also explored. Finally, this review sets out a provisional typology of drinking behaviours to enable more systematic approaches to the study of these behaviours. While there is a paucity of evidencein particular on measures of consumptionthis growing evidence base suggests promising targets for novel interventions involving glassware design to reduce the consumption of drinks that harm health.

“…There are several possible explanations of why the setting would exert such a profound influence on consumption. First of all, one might argue that due to the presence of drinking patrons in the bar-room, modelling effects may account for increased consumption and the lack of group differences, by overriding the effect of instruction (Hendricks, Sobell & Cooper, 1978;Lied & Marlatt, 1979;Tomaszewski et al, 1980). However, Bandura (1977) has demonstrated that a necessary prerequisite for modelling effects is attention to the model.…”

“…From then on, the research assistant would closely follow the subject's drinking behavior. This was to control for modelling effects (Garlington & Dericco, 1977;Lied & Marlatt, 1979;Tomaszewski, Strickler & Maxwell, 1980).…”

The influence of setting on consumption in the balanced placebo design

Previous research using the balanced placebo design has demonstrated that instructions about alcohol content of a beverage affect consumption more than actual alcohol content. In the present experiment the balanced placebo design was expanded to include a dimension of context. The design was a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial with expectancy about alcohol content, actual alcohol content, and setting in which the experiment was conducted as factors. The setting factor involved conducting the experiment either in a laboratory setting typical of most balanced placebo research or in an actual bar-room. Results obtained in the laboratory setting replicated the basic finding that subjects consumed more beverage when they believed it contained alcohol than when they believed it did not contain alcohol, regardless of actual alcohol content. Consumption in the bar-room setting was higher than in the laboratory setting, and most importantly, consumption was not differentially affected by instruction about alcohol content or actual alcohol content. These results demonstrate the important role of setting on beverage consumption, and suggest the need to investigate factors thought to affect consumption in natural drinking environments.
