“…This finding is consistent with prior cross-sectional research [27], which showed that overall positive expectancies, not negative expectancies, were predictive of drinking frequency/quantity and consumptionrelated problems among college students. This is also consistent with prior longitudinal work [28] which showed that problem drinkers endorsed high levels of positive alcohol expectancies over time. Taken together, our findings shed light on the utility of positive expectancies in predicting concurrent and subsequent hazardous alcohol use among female student athletes.…”

“…The rationale underlying item generation for the RANDS was threefold. First, core concepts relating to expectations regarding the perceived positive outcomes of drink and/or drinking (e.g., Brown, 1985;Brown et al, 1980;Cronin, 1997;Sher et al, 1996;Werner, Walker, & Greene, 1995;Wood, Sher, & Strathman, 1996) were examined. Then items were framed in terms of their relevance to the concept of non-drinking and modified such that they focused on the negative aspects of not consuming alcohol.…”

The idea that individuals drink alcohol to fit in with their peers has been investigated by many researchers. However, the related concept that consumption of alcohol may serve as a means of avoiding the social costs associated with being a non-drinker has received little attention. Three studies (N = 94, 148, 236) are outlined, which detail the construction and preliminary validation of the Regan Attitudes toward Non-Drinkers Scale (RANDS). Results indicated that scale score reliability for the RANDS was good (α values range from .82 to .89) with exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses suggesting that the scale possesses a unidimensional factor structure. Importantly, scores on the RANDS emerged as a stronger predictor of self-reported yearly alcohol consumption and binge-drinking than indicants commonly assessed in alcohol use and abuse research in adolescents and young adults (e.g., peer pressure). Limitations of these studies and directions for future research are outlined.

“…Using the 4/5 measure (NIAAA, 2004), we also hypothesized that binge drinking, alcohol expectancies, and the perceived effects of alcohol would be associated with self-reported impulsivity. Given the relationship between alcohol use disorders and impulsivity, we hypothesized that higher levels of impulsivity and greater alcohol use would be associated with more positive expectations of alcohol (Werner et al, 1995; Read et al, 2004). Consistent with previous reports of alcohol-related expectancies in males, we hypothesized that men as compared with women would report greater expectations of social assertion and sexual enhancement when intoxicated.…”

Binge drinking on university campuses is associated with social and health-related problems. In order to determine the factors that may predict this behavior, we collected information on alcohol use, alcohol expectations, and impulsivity from 428 undergraduate students attending a Canadian university. The subjective effects of a binge-drinking dose of alcohol were assessed in a subset of participants. In the larger sample, 72% of students reported drinking at or above binge drinking thresholds on a regular basis. Men reported alcohol consumption per drinking occasion that was consistent with other studies, but the frequency of drinking occasions among women was higher than previous studies, suggesting that consumption in women may be increasing. Compared to men, women reported different expectations of alcohol, specifically related to sociability and sexuality. Self-reported impulsivity scores were related, albeit weakly, to drinking behaviors and to expectations in both sexes. Finally, intoxicated binge drinkers reported feeling less intoxicated, liking the effects more and wanting more alcohol than did non-binge drinkers receiving an equivalent dose of alcohol. These results have implications for gender-specific prevention strategies for binge drinking on university campuses
