“…Outcome expectancies (see Table 1) distinguish between drinkers and abstainers (Leigh & Stacy, 2004), and are significantly related to drinkers' patterns of alcohol consumption (Bot, Engels & Knibbe, 2005;Dijkstra, Sweeney & Gebhardt, 2001;Farber, Khavari & Douglass, 1980;Hittner, 1997;Lee, Greely & Oei, 1999;Leigh & Stacy, 2004;Migneault, Pallonen & Velicer, 1997;Oei & Morawska, 2004;Stritzke & Butt, 2001;Williams & Clark, 1998). Table 1 Expectancies and motives share common variance: motives may mediate the link between expectancies and behaviour (Abbey, Smith & Scott, 1993;Read, Wood, Kahler, Maddock & Palfai, 2003;Williams & Clark, 1998). Like expectancies, motives predict alcohol use (Abbey et al, 1993;Cooper, 1994;Maggs & Schulenberg, 1998).…”
