“…Ceiling effects were not problematic-only 12 of 82 participants (less than 15%) consumed all the beer available (only 2 of the 12 were high copingmotivated drinkers in the TSST group). Further, our sample size (n = 82) is comparable to or substantially larger than other clinical laboratory studies in which positive effects were observed (Birch et al, 2004;Field and Quigley, 2009;Rousseau et al, 2011;Stewart et al, 2002).…”

“…Both hypotheses were based on prior clinical laboratory studies showing that coping-motivated drinkers reported more affective distress to a stressor than individuals without coping motives (Field and Quigley, 2009;, and stress exposure produced greater activation of alcohol cognitions and increased the rewarding value of alcohol in coping-motivated drinkers (Birch et al, 2004;Rousseau et al, 2011;Stewart et al, 2002). Results from our study suggested that drinkers with high versus low coping motives may respond differently to a stress provoca-tion, although in the opposite direction predicted, where coping-motivated drinkers show a less robust stress response.…”

“…A similar result was found by other investigators using a musical mood induction technique to induce negative affect , whereby only coping-motivated (and not enhancement-motivated) drinkers reported the expected rise in anxiety. Regarding alcoholrelated outcomes, clinical laboratory studies have found that coping motives moderate the impact of stress induction on positive alcohol expectancies (Birch et al, 2004;, attentional bias for alcohol cues (Field and Powell, 2007;Field and Quigley, 2009;, the semantic activation of alcohol concepts in memory (Stewart et al, 2002), and the reinforcing value of alcohol versus money (Rousseau et al, 2011).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Stress evokes thoughts about alcohol and enhances alcohol's rewarding value in drinkers who use alcohol to cope with negative affect. The present study extends prior research by examining whether this effect applies to actual alcohol consumption following a stressor and whether individuals with high and low coping motives for drinking differ in stress reactivity. Method: Nondependent drinkers with high scores (>1 SD above national norms) on the coping motives subscale on the Drinking Motives Questionnaire (n = 41; 46% women) were enrolled along with age-and gender-matched nondependent drinkers with low coping motives (n = 41). Participants were randomized to receive the Trier Social Stress Test or a no-stress control condition. Following the stress manipulation, participants could consume up to 473 ml of beer in a "taste test," a covert measure of alcohol consumption. Stress reactivity was measured with both objective and subjective indices, and milliliters of beer consumed was the alcohol-relevant outcome. Results: Participants with high coping motives showed a less robust stress response to the Trier Social Stress Test than participants with low coping motives for drinking. However, the stressor did not result in greater consumption of alcohol (i.e., no main effect of stress induction) or differential drinking in the two motive groups (i.e., no Stressor × Coping Motive group interaction). Conclusions: Findings suggest that nondependent drinkers with and without coping motives for drinking may experience a stress provocation differently, but exposure to a standardized social stressor does not lead to differential drinking in these groups in a clinical laboratory setting.

“…Several different methods of measuring implicit cognitions about alcohol and drugs have been developed (e.g., a modifi ed Stroop: Stewart et al, 2002;accessibility tasks: Palfai et al, 1997;Read and Curtin, 2007;Read et al, 2004). Two different alcohol-modifi ed versions of the Implicit Association Test (IAT) have been used in a number of studies (Houben and Wiers, 2006;Jajodia and Earleywine, 2003;Wiers et al, 2002).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Implicit cognitions about alcohol have been shown to be an important predictor of alcohol use. Relatively little research has been conducted on racial/ethnic differences in implicit cognitions or changes in implicit cognitions while intoxicated. This study examined differences between Blacks and Whites in positive and negative implicit associations about alcohol, as measured by the Implicit Association Test (IAT) and tested differences in IAT scores when participants were sober and intoxicated. Method: One hundred thirty-fi ve young adults (46% of Black descent) participated in an alcohol-administration study, receiving a moderate dose of alcohol (0.72 g/kg alcohol for men, 0.65 g/kg for women). The IAT was administered in two sessions, one in which alcohol was administered (30 minutes after alcohol consumption) and one in which it was not, approximately 1 week apart.Results: Repeated-measures mixed-factorial analyses of variance were conducted separately for positive and negative IAT scores. Blacks held lower positive and negative implicit cognitions about alcohol compared with Whites. Positive and negative IAT scores did not change as a function of intoxication. Positive explicit expectancies and self-reported pastmonth drinking behavior were related to positive IAT scores. Positive and negative IAT scores were also related to acute subjective response to alcohol, and this association differed by race. Conclusions: Results extend previous studies by providing evidence for racial differences in implicit cognitions about alcohol and by showing the stability of the IAT while participants are intoxicated. Future studies are needed to determine what factors contribute to racial differences in implicit cognitions. (J.

“…Methods to assess for implicit cognition include the Implicit Association Test (Greenwald, McGhee & Schwartz, 1998) incorporating response latency; primed Stroop tests (Stewart, Hall, Wilkie & Birch, 2002) and word association and word 6 production tests (Cramer, 1986;Ireland & Birch, 2013). Word tests have utilised both free-word associations and controlled associations.…”
