“…Previous work suggests that this association may be related to drinking motives (Kuntsche et al, 2006) or expectancies (Ibanez et al, 2015). Although overall the literature on negative alcohol expectancies (such as cognitive or behavioral impairment) is mixed, indicating there may be differing effects of specific expectancies on drinking stage, the current finding mirrors results from Nicolai et al (2010) who found a similar effect in both student and clinical samples.…”

Background The first year of university attendance represents a critical time frame for the development of alcohol use and misuse given changes in autonomy and increased access to alcohol. Prior studies have demonstrated that the establishment of drinking patterns during this period is impacted by an array of demographic, environmental, and familial factors. It is critical to consider such factors jointly, and to understand potentially differential effects on stages of alcohol use/misuse, in order to identify robust predictors that may be targeted in prevention and intervention programming. Methods As part of a longitudinal study, students at a large, public US university were invited to complete online surveys that included questions related to alcohol use, emotional and behavioral health, environmental factors, sociodemographic factors, and familial environment. The current study uses data from surveys administered in the fall and spring of the first year of university. We used univariate (maximum N=7291) and multivariate (maximum N=4788) logistic and linear regressions to evaluate the associations between potential risk and protective factors with four alcohol use outcomes: initiation, consumption, problems, and addiction resistance. Results In multivariate models, we observed associations between demographic, social/environmental, and personal-level predictors with all four alcohol outcomes, several of which were consistent across each stage of alcohol use. A deviant high school peer group was one of the strongest predictors of risk across outcomes. The influence of drinking motives and alcohol expectancies varied by alcohol use outcome. Externalizing characteristics were associated with increased risk across outcomes, while internalizing symptoms were associated with more problems and lower addiction resistance. Conclusions These findings underscore the complex network of factors influencing stages of alcohol use during the first year of university. Importantly, these findings demonstrate that the impact of predictors changes across stages of alcohol use/misuse, which presents opportunities for targeted prevention efforts.

“…Drinking expectancies have been identified as important predictors of alcohol use (Fromme and Dunn, 1992; Nicolai et al, 2010), drunk driving (Turrisi and Jaccard, 1992), and RWDD (DiBlasio, 1986; Grube and Voas, 1996). However, we identified only 1 cross-sectional study that examined the association between RWDD-specific expectancies and RWDD behavior (DiBlasio, 1988).…”

Background Nearly 1 in 5 of the fatalities in alcohol-related crashes are passengers. Few studies have utilized theory to examine modifiable psychosocial predictors of individuals' tendencies to be a passenger in a vehicle operated by a driver who has consumed alcohol. This study used a prospective design to test a dual-process model featuring reasoned and reactive psychological influences and psychosocial constructs as predictors of riding with drinking drivers (RWDD) in a sample of individuals aged 18 to 21. Methods College students (N = 508) completed web-based questionnaires assessing RWDD, psychosocial constructs (attitudes, expectancies, and norms), and reasoned and reactive influences (intentions and willingness) at baseline (the middle of the spring semester) and again 1 and 6 months later. Regression was used to analyze reasoned and reactive influences as proximal predictors of RWDD at the 6-month follow-up. Subsequent analyses examined the relationship between the psychosocial constructs as distal predictors of RWDD and the mediation effects of reasoned and reactive influences. Results Both reasoned and reactive influences predicted RWDD, while only the reactive influence had a significant unique effect. Reactive influences significantly mediated the effects of peer norms, attitudes, and drinking influences on RWDD. Nearly all effects were constant across gender except parental norms (significant for females). Conclusions Findings highlight that the important precursors of RWDD were reactive influences, attitudes, and peer and parent norms. These findings suggest several intervention methods, specifically normative feedback interventions, parent-based interventions, and brief motivational interviewing, may be particularly beneficial in reducing RWDD.

“…Findings regarding the predictive role of negative AEs in the same populations have been less consistent. Whereas some studies have found a negative association between negative AEs and drinking (e.g., Fromme & D'Amico, 2000;Nicolai et al, 2010), others have found negative AEs to be related to problematic drinking (Zamboanga et al, 2010) or unrelated to drinking and/or problematic drinking (Neighbors et al, 2007;Zamboanga et al, 2006).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Alcohol expectancies (AEs) are positively associated with drinking behaviors, whereas the use of protective behavioral strategies (PBS) is negatively related to alcohol outcomes among young adults. PBS have been shown to weaken relationships between some alcohol risk factors and alcohol outcomes. This study aimed to examine longitudinally the moderating effect of PBS on the relationships between AEs and alcohol outcomes among young adults. Method: Participants (N = 188; 61.7% female) were U.S. young adults participating in a larger longitudinal study. Measures of PBS, AEs, alcohol use, and related consequences were used from the baseline and 12-month followup assessments. Results: Negative binomial hurdle models found that PBS (total score) significantly moderated the relationship between positive AEs and consequences, such that among high school seniors endorsing higher positive AEs, those using more PBS in high school reported fewer negative consequences 1 year later. PBS (Manner of Drinking) also moderated the relationship between negative AEs and alcohol use, revealing the use of PBS in high school as having a protective function against later drinking among participants with high positive AEs. Last, PBS (Serious Harm Reduction) significantly moderated the associations between positive AEs and alcohol use and between negative AEs and consequences, such that participants with higher AEs and higher PBS use in high school were at greatest risk for drinking and experiencing negative consequences later. Conclusions: Overall, these findings suggest that PBS use may be protective by weakening relationships between positive AEs and alcohol outcomes. Limitations and future directions are discussed. (J.
