The effects of musically-induced positive and anxious mood on explicit alcohol-related cognitions (alcohol expectancy strength) in 47 undergraduate students who consume alcohol either to enhance positive mood states (for enhancement motives) or to cope with anxiety (for anxiety-related coping motives) were investigated. Pre- and post-mood induction, participants completed the emotional reward and emotional relief subscales of the Alcohol Craving Questionnaire - Now. The hypothesis that anxiety-related coping motivated drinkers in the anxious mood condition (but not those in the positive mood condition) would exhibit increases in strength of explicit emotional relief alcohol expectancies after the mood induction was supported. An additional, unanticipated finding was that enhancement-motivated drinkers in the anxious condition also showed significant increases in strength of explicit emotional relief (but not emotional reward) alcohol expectancies. The hypothesis that enhancement-motivated (but not anxiety-related coping motivated) participants would exhibit increases in explicit emotional reward expectancies following exposure to the positive mood induction procedure was not supported. Taken together with past research findings, the current results highlight the importance of distinguishing between subtypes of negative affect (i.e., anxious and depressed affect) in exploring the affective antecedents of explicit alcohol outcome expectancies.
研究了音乐诱发的积极情绪和焦虑情绪对47名本科生显性酒精相关认知（酒精预期强度）的影响，这些学生饮酒的目的要么是增强积极情绪状态（出于增强动机），要么是应对焦虑（出于与焦虑相关的应对动机）。在情绪诱导前后，参与者完成了《酒精渴望问卷-现在》的情绪奖励和情绪缓解分量表。研究假设得到了支持，即与焦虑相关的应对动机促使焦虑情绪状态下的饮酒者（但积极情绪状态下的饮酒者并非如此）在情绪诱导后显性情绪缓解酒精预期强度增加。另一个意外发现是，处于焦虑状态下、出于增强动机的饮酒者显性情绪缓解（而非情绪奖励）酒精预期强度也显著增加。关于出于增强动机（而非与焦虑相关的应对动机）的参与者在接触积极情绪诱导程序后显性情绪奖励预期会增加的假设未得到支持。结合过去的研究结果，当前结果凸显了在探索显性酒精结果预期的情感前因时区分消极情绪亚型（即焦虑和抑郁情绪）的重要性。
