 Verfahrens zur Erfassung
 von Alkoholwirkungserwartungen.

 Methode: Reliabilität und interne
 Validität des Comprehensive Alcohol
 Expectancy Questionnaire (CAEQ)
 wurden an drei Stichproben überprüft.

 Ergebnisse: Die Ergebnisse
 einer Hauptkomponentenanalyse
 legen eine Fünffaktorenlösung nahe:<OL>
 <LI>Selbstsicherheit und positiver
 Affekt, <LI>Spannungsreduktion, <LI>
 Kognitive Beeinträchtigung und körperliche
 Beschwerden, <LI>Aggression,
 <LI>Sexualität. </OL>Retestreliabilität
 und interne Konsistenz können als
 zufriedenstellend bezeichnet werden.

 Schlussfolgerungen: Der CAEQ
 ist ein reliables Verfahren zur Erfassung
 von Alkoholwirkungserwartungen.
 Die Dimensionen des CAEQ bilden
 Wirkungserwartungen von klinischer
 und theoretischer Relevanz ab.

Influence of alcohol on the processing of emotional facial expressions in individuals with social phobia

“…Social phobia patients drink less alcohol when they expect possible deficits in performance due to intoxication (Abrams, Kushner, Medina, & Voight, 2002). In the present study, participants with social phobia expected alcohol to affect cognitive performance more than did controls, as measured with the subscale probability of ‘cognitive impairment and physical discomfort’ of the Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire (AEQ, Demmel & Hagen, 2003; Table 1).…”

“…These were the German versions of the Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (uses a five point Likert rating scale with a score range from 20 to 80; Vormbrock & Neuser, 1983), the Social Phobia Scale (Stangier, Heidenreich, Berardi, Golbs, & Hoyer, 1999), the Social Interaction and Anxiety Scale (SIAS, Stangier et al , 1999), Drinking due to Social Anxiety Scale (‘Trinken wegen sozialer Angst’, TWSA, Wagner, Stangier, Heidenreich, & Schneider, 2004) and the Blushing Propensity Scale (BPS, Leary & Meadows, 1991). Further instruments were general measures of psychopathology (German version of the Beck Depression Inventory, BDI, Hautzinger, Bailer, Worall, & Keller, 1994; German version of the Anxiety Sensitivity Index, ASI, Ehlers, 1986; Peterson & Reiss, 1987) and the German version of the Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire (AEQ, Demmel & Hagen, 2003). Finally, all participants filled out the German version of the Short Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test for both parents (Demmel & Hagen, 2002).…”

Effects of alcohol on ratings of emotional facial expressions in social phobics

“…These were the German versions of the fear of negative evaluation scale (FNE, Vormbrock & Neuser, 1983), the social phobia scale (SPS, Stangier, Heidenreich, Berardi, Golbs, & Hoyer, 1999), the social interaction anxiety scale (SIAS, Stangier et al, 1999), drinking due to social anxiety scale (Trinken Wegen Sozialer Angst, TWSA, Wagner, Stangier, Heidenreich, & Schneider, 2004) and the blushing propensity scale (BPS, Leary, 1983). Further instruments were general measures of psychopathology (Beck Depression Inventory, BDI, Hautzinger, Bailer, Worall, & Keller, 1994; Anxiety sensitivity index, ASI, Ehlers, 1986) and an alcohol expectancy questionnaire (AEQ, Demmel & Hagen, 2003). Finally, all participants filled out the short Michigan alcoholism screening test for father and mother (Demmel & Hagen, 2002).…”

The Neurophysiology of Implicit Alcohol Associations in Recently Abstinent Patients With Alcohol Use Disorder: An Event‐Related Potential Study Considering Gender Effects

“…The BSCL (Franke, 2000) quantified general psychopathology. Moreover, alcohol craving (Obsessive Compulsive Drinking Scale; OCDS-G; Mann and Ackermann, 2000), and positive and negative alcohol outcome (Comprehensive Alcohol Expectancy Scale, CAEQ; Demmel and Hagen, 2003;Nicolai et al, 2010) were assessed (see Table 1). A detailed overview of the sociodemographic, clinical, and motivational characteristics can be found in online Supporting Information (SI, Table S1).…”
