Pharmacological Effects

This study assessed the effects of alcohol, expectancies, social setting and sex on self-reported depression. Alcohol consumption resulted in increased depression which manifested ideationally, and it is hypothesized that mood variables may be more susceptible to direct alcohol (pharmacological) effects, while attributions may be influenced more by expectancies regarding alcohol consumption. In addition, females self-reported more physiologically-manifested depression than their male counterparts, suggesting a differential interpretation of similar physiological states. It is suggested that future research might profitably include behavioural measures of depression, and concentrate on alcoholics as subjects.

Adjudicated Students

Research suggests that the manipulation of alcohol expectancies can produce short-term reduction of moderate to heavy alcohol consumption among college populations. The present study examined the utility of an expectancy-challenge intervention administered in a videotaped format. Thirty-three residential male college students with a single alcohol offense attending a diversionary alcohol education program were randomly assigned to either the experimental treatment or an information-based comparison condition. Consistent with experimental construct validity considerations, the information treatment produced significant knowledge increments. However, neither condition had any impact on a battery of measures reflecting alcohol expectancies and alcohol consumption.

Main Effects

The study examined the effects of ego identity status, matriculation level, and gender on alcohol consumption, alcohol expectancies, and drinking refusal self-efficacy. Male (n = 64) and female (n = 114) undergraduate students at a 4-year college were surveyed and classified into four identity status categories. Data on alcohol expectancies, drinking refusal self-efficacy, and quantity and frequency of alcohol consumption were obtained. Results of the ANOVA for alcohol consumption in males supported research that indicates ego identity status affects consumption levels. Identity foreclosed males consumed greater quantities of alcohol than did males classified in moratorium status. Ego identity status did not significantly affect consumption levels in females. Although the results of the multivariate statistics for the variables of interest did not reveal significant interaction effects, several main effects for gender and matriculation level were noted. These findings are discussed in terms of prevention and education efforts on college campuses. Analyses suggested multifactor interventions designed specifically to enhance drinking refusal self-efficacy, expectancy challenges, and psychosocial maturity will affect consumption levels and behavior patterns in undergraduate students.
