“…The current results build on work demonstrating that stressful interpersonal experiences contribute to subsequent alcohol use (DeHart et al, 2008(DeHart et al, , 2009Levitt & Cooper, 2010;Mohr et al, 2001;Parks et al, 2008). Growing evidence also demonstrates that alcohol use is a temporally proximal predictor of subsequent conflict and partner aggression (e.g., Crane et al, 2014;Shorey et al, 2014aShorey et al, , 2014bShorey et al, , 2015Shorey et al, , 2016bTesta & Derrick, 2017).…”

“…Although not specific to IPA, daily process research has shown that experiencing negative relationship events (e.g., conflict) on a given day is associated with a greater likelihood of drinking later that day, but only among people with low self-esteem (DeHart et al, 2008). Similarly, experiencing more negative relationship events, decreased closeness, or greater negative partner behavior (e.g., criticism) on a given day is associated with increased likelihood of drinking and increased number of drinks later that day and the following day, particularly among women (Levitt & Cooper, 2010).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Survey studies provide evidence that experiencing intimate partner aggression (IPA) contributes to subsequent alcohol use. However, it is unknown whether the increase in alcohol use over time reflects a temporal effect of IPA. We examined verbal and physical IPA as predictors of alcohol use and heavy drinking within the next few hours. We also investigated whether both victims and perpetrators drank following IPA, and if it mattered which partner reported the aggression. Method: The data reported here were derived from a 56-day diary study examining the association between alcohol use and partner aggression in 118 heterosexual couples. We examined whether alcohol use in a given hour could be predicted by IPA in the previous 3 hours, taking into account victim/perpetrator status, source of the report (self, other), and gender. Results: Victims were twice as likely to use alcohol in a given hour when they reported having received verbal IPA in the previous 3 hours, independent of the perpetrator's report. Similarly, perpetrators were more than twice as likely to use alcohol in a given hour when they reported having perpetrated verbal IPA in the previous 3 hours, independent of the victim's report. Results were similar when reports of mutual IPA were considered. Verbal IPA increased the likelihood of drinking but not the likelihood of heavy drinking. Results for physical IPA were not significant. Conclusions: Verbal IPA is a proximal predictor of alcohol use for both victims and perpetrators. However, effects emerge only when individuals report aggression, and not when their partner provides the sole report, emphasizing the importance of the individual's perception of IPA. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 78, 213-221, 2017)

“…Negative interpersonal events are an important determinant in predicting the motivation underlying drinking and alcohol-related problems (DeHart, Tennen, Armeli, Todd, & Affleck, 2008;Hussong, Hicks, Levy, & Curran, 2001;Marlatt, 1996;Mohr et al, 2001). The current study aims to build upon previous research examining relationship contingent self-esteem (RCSE), romantic jealousy, and drinking behavior.…”

“…Based on Nezlek and Leary (2002), participants were told to report on face-to-face social interactions that lasted 10 min or longer, such that an interaction was defined as ''any encounter with one or more other people in which the participants attended to one another and adjusted their behavior in response to one another'' (e.g., a conversation; p. 214). Participants were asked to report only on interactions that occurred after 5 p.m., because other daily diary studies have found that this is when most alcohol consumption occurs (e.g., Dehart, Tennen, Armeli, Todd, & Affleck, 2008).…”

Two studies investigate impression management processes and alcohol use. In both studies, participants completed the Fear of Negative Evaluation scale and then a 21-day survey. In Study 1, participants reported daily desired impression and drinking. Men drank more than women; however, this effect was stronger on days in which they wanted to appear attractive as compared to other desired impressions. In Study 2, participants reported desired attractiveness, sex-composition, and drinking during social interactions. Attractiveness desires during social interactions related positively to drinking for men when interacting with mixed-sex others, and for women when interacting with mixed-and single-sex others.
