The analysis of self-report data from 147 college undergraduates suggested that alcohol expectancies moderate the effect of a dispositional susceptibility to embarrassment elicited by undesired conspicuousness [center-of-attention-induced embarrassability (CAE)] on drinking behavior. Individuals unlikely to experience embarrassment when they engage in behaviors that make them stand out in a crowd, a common occurrence when one drinks to excess, drank heavily if they expected alcohol to make them more assertive socially. Students with similar beliefs about the effects of alcohol on social interaction who were high in CAE consumed substantially less alcohol than the latter individuals. Their overall levels of drinking were more comparable to those of the low-expectancy participants, suggesting that the disdain for conspicuousness characteristic of people with a susceptibility to CAE may counteract the desire for social disinhibition that often motivates alcohol consumption.
对147名大学生自我报告数据的分析表明，饮酒预期会调节因不期望的引人注目（注意力中心引起的尴尬感，简称CAE）所引发的性格易尴尬倾向对饮酒行为的影响。当个体从事那些使他们在人群中突出的行为（过量饮酒时常见的情况）时不太可能感到尴尬，如果他们预期酒精会让他们在社交中更自信，就会大量饮酒。对酒精对社交互动影响有类似看法但CAE得分高的学生饮酒量比后者少得多。他们的总体饮酒水平更接近低预期参与者，这表明易受CAE影响的人对引人注目的不屑可能会抵消通常促使饮酒的社交去抑制欲望。
