The current study examined whether drinking and/or presence in the college social environment led to augmented positive alcohol expectancies among college students (N=225). Participants were approached during popular drinking nights as they exited events at which alcohol was consumed or in front of their residence as they returned home. Participants completed a brief questionnaire that included an assessment of demographics, breath alcohol concentration (BrAC), and positive expectancies. Within 48 h of baseline assessment, participants received via email a follow-up survey that re-assessed positive expectancies while sober. Positive sexual expectancies were more strongly endorsed while drinking in the college social environment for both males and females, while males also reported heightened liquid courage expectancies. In addition, positive expectancies were more strongly endorsed at higher doses of alcohol for males but not females. These findings suggest that interventions which seek to prevent alcohol abuse by targeting alcohol expectancies may wish to challenge positive expectancies in naturalistic college social settings.
本研究考察了饮酒和/或大学生社交环境的存在是否会导致大学生积极的酒精期望增强（N=225）。在大学生参加饮酒活动结束后或在他们返回宿舍的路上，在他们经常出入的地点接近参与者。参与者完成了一份简短的问卷，其中包括人口统计学、呼气酒精浓度（BrAC）和积极期望的评估。在基线评估后的 48 小时内，参与者通过电子邮件收到了后续调查，该调查在清醒状态下重新评估了积极期望。对于男性和女性来说，在大学生社交环境中饮酒时，他们更强烈地认同积极的性期望，而男性则报告说他们更有勇气喝酒。此外，对于男性来说，更高剂量的酒精会导致更强烈的积极期望，但对于女性来说并非如此。这些发现表明，通过针对酒精期望来预防酒精滥用的干预措施，可能希望在自然的大学生社交环境中挑战积极的期望。
