“…A culture of drinking is imbued in higher education (Borsari et al, 2007; Gambles et al, 2022). Compared to young adults not attending college, students tend to drink more and experience more alcohol-related consequences (Schulenberg et al, 2021; Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2020).…”

“…A particularly large difference was found between home and university compared to home and other contexts, perhaps as university is a context eliciting increased CFS (as demonstrated by our CFS and context findings) and thus feelings of inability to balance cultures. Indeed, university is considered as a major transition where individuals are presented with new pressures and experiences such as social networking demands which includes meeting new people (Gambles, Porcellato, Fleming & Quigg, 2022), and therefore there may be a higher level of interpersonal investment which could explain why participants felt less able to balance their cultures during university. Furthermore, Lin (2008) demonstrated that the classroom elicits switching between languages, and thus university may be a context whereby low levels of biculturalism may be seen.…”

Background: Cultural frame switching (CFS) has cognitive and affective consequences. We posit a dynamic model of CFS, and hypothesised that CFS and biculturalism is context dependent. Method: Fifty-six British ethnic minority participants completed ecological momentary assessments five times a day for twenty-eight days, recording context, facets of CFS and psychological toll (emotional states & beliefs). Results: Contemporaneously, the degree of CFS was associated with mood but also feeling discriminated against and not being able to balance cultures. Anticipating CFS was associated with feeling socially anxious, discriminated against, not being able to balance cultures, whilst negative feelings about CFS was associated with not being able to balance cultures and lowered self-esteem. Temporally, the degree of CFS did not predict any psychological toll. Anticipating CFS predicted feeling discriminated against, and negative feelings about CFS predicted not being able to balance cultures, negative mood, lowered self-esteem and lowered self-efficacy. CFS and biculturalism significantly varied by context. Conclusions: The study highlights positive and negative consequence of engaging in CFS. This experience differs at individual level and is influenced by context. The experience of CFS needs to factor in frequency, valence and anticipation. Implications for wellbeing and support for British minorities are emphasised, with suggestions for interventions to enhance cultural competence.

“…But, there is no reason to exclude discrimination against alcohol abstainers, as an explanation for the drinking premium. Anecdotally, alcohol is considered as a ‘social lubricant’, allowing individuals to bond faster and develop social ties, although the question remains under‐researched (Gambles et al, 2021).…”

The link between smoking, drinking and wages: Health, workplace social capital or discrimination?

Using the Canadian General Social Survey of 2016, the present article examines how smoking and drinking associate with earnings. Among both men and women, those who drink have higher wages than the abstainers. The investigation of the channel of impact indicates that health and workplace social capital only explain a small portion of the drinking premium. There is a penalty associated with occasional smoking for men and daily smoking for women. Likewise, health status and workplace social capital cannot fully explain these gaps away. Further explorations, exploiting information on workplace size and union status of the employees, suggest that the patterns are at least partly driven by differentiated treatment and discrimination. The implications are discussed.
