This book was released on 2017 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol consumption is a prominent component of the college culture; high-risk consumption may lead to detrimental consequences for the student. Problematic alcohol consumption is linked to sexual assault, drunk driving, vandalism, and other unlawful activities. The degree to which students conform to the perceived social norms of the culture of the campus may impact the amount of alcohol that students consume; perceived social norms are often higher than the actual consumption amounts. Social anxiety may also impact the degree to which students will self-monitor their behavior in order to conform to their perceptions of the drinking norms. Drinking motives may also play a part in the amount and frequency of alcohol consumed, whether it's participating in drinking games during social gatherings, or consuming at the same rate as their peers for social acceptance. The study tested two hypotheses. The first hypothesis states: H1: The relationship between social anxiety and alcohol consumption would be moderated by perceived social norms. The second hypothesis states: H2: The relationship between social anxiety and alcohol consumption would be mediated by the drinking motives of coping and social pressure/conformity. Social anxiety was measured by the Liebowitz Social Anxiety scale (LSAS). The measure for alcohol consumption was based on self-reports for the number of drinks consumed per week. The measure for perceived social norms was the comparisons of the actual number of drinks consumed by the participant pool on average per week, in comparison with the number of drinks that the participant estimates that their peer consumes per week. The measure for social norms/alcohol expectancies and drinking motives was the evaluation of the responses sampled from the CORE Alcohol and Drug Survey and Drinking Motives Questionnaire- Revised (DMQR). The results indicated that the students who overestimated the alcohol consumption of their peers reported lower levels of alcohol consumption. Perceived social norms did not moderate the relationship between social anxiety and alcohol consumption. There was no significance found in the mediation of either of the drinking motives in the relationship between social anxiety and alcohol consumption.
Book Synopsis Social Anxiety, Heavy Episodic Drinking, and Drinking Motives in Undergraduates by :
Download or read book Social Anxiety, Heavy Episodic Drinking, and Drinking Motives in Undergraduates written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use and social anxiety in college students are a public health concern due to continuous evidence of co-morbid Alcohol Use Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder. The current study was a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional survey with undergraduate participants (N=1147, M age=26, 56% female) on the topics of social anxiety, drinking motives, and heavy episodic drinking. As hypothesized, social anxiety predicted the drinking to cope motivation, as well as the other drinking motivations. Drinking to cope also significantly predicted alcohol use in the sample. Alcohol consumption was at a hazardous level of consumption, though the relationship between social anxiety and alcohol use was found to be inconclusive. Further, this study represented a non-traditional college-aged student sample, demonstrating that the findings from traditional college-aged samples have been replicated.

Book Synopsis The Use of Alcohol Among Undergraduate Students With and Without Social Anxiety and Its Relationship to Social Support by : Katherine Isabel Karbowski
Download or read book The Use of Alcohol Among Undergraduate Students With and Without Social Anxiety and Its Relationship to Social Support written by Katherine Isabel Karbowski and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study examined the relationship between social anxiety, social support, and alcohol use among 186 college students from Central Connecticut State University. As predicted, scores on the college salience scale were positively related to alcohol use and Cooper's (1994) four drinking motives (social, coping, enhancement, and conformity). Furthermore, social support had a negative relationship with frequency of alcohol consumption but no significant relationship with any other variable of interest. Social anxiety was negatively related to frequency of alcohol use, but positively related to social, coping and conformity drinking motives. Multiple regression analyses indicated that college salience is strongly related to both frequency and amount of alcohol consumed and all four drinking motives, suggesting that college students who believe alcohol plays an important or large role in the college experience are more likely to drink more often and have more alcohol per occasion. Moreover, they were also more likely to use drinking for positive and negative reinforcement in hopes of attaining certain behavioral outcomes such as receiving positive social responses or to regulate negative emotional responses. This study contributes to the current research and is important because it adds to the current information regarding social support, social anxiety and alcohol use among college students.
Book Synopsis Social Anxiety and Problematic Alcohol Use Among College Students by : Ellen Cecilie Jorstad-Stein
Download or read book Social Anxiety and Problematic Alcohol Use Among College Students written by Ellen Cecilie Jorstad-Stein and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social anxiety disorder (SAD) and alcohol use disorders (AUDs; i.e., alcohol dependence, alcohol abuse) are highly prevalent and potentially debilitating. They also commonly co-occur, and when they do, their combined effect may be even more devastating. The onset of SAD most commonly precedes the onset of AUDs, suggesting that SAD may be a marker or risk factor for the onset of these other disorders. Previous research has not sufficiently examined the mechanisms involved in the development of AUDs, and longitudinal research is lacking. The current study examined mechanisms related to the development of AUDs among incoming college freshman students at two large universities in the United States. Incoming freshmen are at higher risk for developing symptoms consistent with SAD, particularly during their first semester, and they may be more likely to cope with their symptoms of anxiety by drinking alcohol. The current study aimed to explicate the relationship between social anxiety and alcohol consumption in college freshmen. Baseline data collection occurred late in the summer after registration for the Fall semester or early in the Fall semester. Follow-up data collection occurred later in the Fall semester. It was expected that social anxiety, the quantity and frequency of drinking alcohol (including frequency of intoxication), and alcohol-related problems would increase among the freshmen over the course of the fall semester. Additionally, several relationships among the variables being examined were hypothesized. Drinking motives, symptoms of depression, and quality of life were expected to mediate the relationship between social anxiety and the drinking outcome variables. In addition, expectancies about alcohol consumption were expected to moderate the mediated relationship. However, there were no increases in social anxiety, alcohol consumption, or alcohol-related problems between baseline and follow-up. There were few hypothesized relationships found, although there was a positive relationship between social anxiety and negative alcohol expectancies and a negative relationship between social anxiety and quality of life. Model testing generated one promising model in which the relationship of positive expectancies regarding alcohol use to alcohol use and problems was mediated by coping with anxiety drinking motives. In particular, the main effect of positive expectancies of alcohol and coping with anxiety drinking motives generated a medium effect whereas the other relationships generated small to medium effects. Clinical implications and limitations of the current study are discussed.
Book Synopsis Social Anxiety and Alcohol-related Problems by : Frances Rekrut

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A preponderance of research has explored the relationship between social anxiety and alcohol-related problems in college students often with a focus on the role of motivation for drinking, consumption levels, and alcohol-related outcome expectancies as factors in the relationship. Yet, to date, very limited research has explored whether co-morbidity between social anxiety and alcohol-related problems persist in older, post-college young adults or whether the factors that influence that relationship in college students persist in a post-college environment. The current study measured social anxiety, alcohol consumption, motives, expectations, related problems, and convivial drinking events in a sample of college students (18-22 year old) and post-college young adults (26-35 years old) as well as explored whether a unified model of the relationship could be found in either or both groups. Results indicated greater social anxiety in the college aged group and few differences in alcohol-related factors between groups. No relationship between social anxiety and alcohol-related problems was found in the college student group, while in the post-college young adult group, coping motives served as a suppressor to that relationship with gender moderating that mediation. Exploratory analysis revealed when controlling for age, gender moderated the relationship between social anxiety and alcohol-related problems through coping motives. These results may provide further evidence of the complexity of the relationship between social anxiety and alcohol-related problems as well as the importance of accounting for other factors, such as gender and age, when conceptualizing risk and treatment.

Book Synopsis Implicit Associations and Drinking Motives in Social Anxiety by : Frances Mitchell
Download or read book Implicit Associations and Drinking Motives in Social Anxiety written by Frances Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior literature has used self-report measures of alcohol motivation, which are notably sensitive to response bias, in addition to either performance or social interaction threat stimuli, in order to identify circumstances under which socially anxious students are more vulnerable to problem-inducing alcohol consumption. The current study measured social anxiety, alcohol consumption, motives, and related problems, and employed an Implicit Association Task (IAT), which measures implicit cognitions through response times. IAT scores compared both performance and social interaction threat exposure to examine the impact of differing social situations on socially anxious students' implicit drinking cognitions. Results showed that the high social anxiety group responded significantly faster to pairings of images of beer and "approach" words when presented with a social interaction threat than with a performance threat. These results may demonstrate that the type of threatening situations socially anxious students are exposed to, as well as their implicit drinking cognitions, may play a key role in determining when and whether they are more likely to consume alcohol and develop problems as a result. Identifying these circumstances in the future may be useful in developing intervention strategies for socially anxious students with alcohol-related problems.
Book Synopsis The Effects of Social Anxiety on Alcohol Choice by :
Download or read book The Effects of Social Anxiety on Alcohol Choice written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social anxiety is the fear of social situations in which one feels they are being evaluated. One consequence of social anxiety may be increased drinking behaviors. For example, college students who experience an excessive amount of social anxiety may drink to cope with the negative effects of anxiety. The current study manipulated social anxiety by asking socially anxious female college students, to make choices about alcohol consumption while they were alone or in a group with two confederates. Alcohol choices were measured using the Multiple Choice Procedure (MCP), a well-studied self-report choice measure of relative reinforcer efficacy. Results found no difference in anxiety scores between the social anxiety and control conditions and higher crossover points on form A of the MCP. Limitations and implications of these results are discussed.

Book Synopsis Examining Associations Between Peer Context, Social Anxiety, and Alcohol Expectancies in Undergraduate Students by : Shannon Lee Henry
Download or read book Examining Associations Between Peer Context, Social Anxiety, and Alcohol Expectancies in Undergraduate Students written by Shannon Lee Henry and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use increases dramatically in college, and drinking in college students is often problematic. Drinking is overwhelmingly used socially, especially among adolescents and young adults. Developmentally, these age groups demonstrate increased social sensitivity, especially to social evaluation and reward; they also endorse beliefs that alcohol use is socially rewarding. The social-attributional and social cognitive models of drinking posit that uncertainty about social evaluation and rejection from others which is heightened around unfamiliar as opposed to familiar peers leads to increased state social anxiety, which activates positive socially-related alcohol expectancies. The present study aimed to confirm this relationship. In a sample of college students (N = 136), mixed models were used to examine the association between peer familiarity (manipulated within vignettes) and alcohol expectancies (assessed via self-report), assessing state social anxiety (self-reported after each vignette) as a potential moderator of this relationship. Results indicated that state social anxiety moderated the relationship between peer familiarity and the tension reduction alcohol expectancy, but in a different manner than expected; the moderation was such that, when participants reported low state anxiety, the unfamiliar condition increased the tension reduction alcohol expectancy in comparison to the familiar condition, whereas when participants reported high state anxiety ratings, the unfamiliar condition decreased the tension reduction alcohol expectancy in relation to the familiar condition. No moderation was found for social enhancement or positive mood enhancement alcohol expectancies. Aside from moderation results, state social anxiety emerged as a strong positive predictor of positive alcohol expectancies. Overall, findings indicate that the social-attributional and social cognitive models may not accurately describe the relationship between peer familiarity, social anxiety, and alcohol expectancies for this sample or study design. Exploratory mixed model analyses for specific subsets of the sample (low vs high trait social anxiety groups) and study conditions (four different vignette scenarios) provide some insight about cases in which the models may be less or more accurate. Overall findings also highlight the importance of state social anxiety as a predictor of alcohol expectancies, and the complexities of examining contextual factors related to alcohol expectancies and alcohol use.

Download or read book Alcohol Use and Depression Among College Students written by Ashley E. Murphy and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between level of alcohol consumption and depression among undergraduate college students, based on Cooper's Drinking Motives Questionnaire. The results indicate that the frequency of alcohol consumption does not have a significant relation to the prevalence of depression. However, students classified as depressed showed tendency to alleviate negative feelings with alcohol. More studies, focused on specific student populations and at different times of year, are needed.

Book Synopsis Defense Mechanisms and Social Anxiety as Risk Factors for College Alcohol Abuse and Binge Drinking by : Rachel Lynn Patrick
Download or read book Defense Mechanisms and Social Anxiety as Risk Factors for College Alcohol Abuse and Binge Drinking written by Rachel Lynn Patrick and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Review of the literature will show that the presence of social anxiety is often linked to the presence of alcohol abuse. Additionally, previous work has focused on the link between the use of different defense mechanisms and alcohol abuse. The current study aims to merge these two perspectives and discover if the use of certain defense mechanisms and the presence of social anxiety, in a college-aged population, can be seen as risk factors for alcohol abuse and binge drinking. 286 students were recruited to complete measures on social anxiety, defense mechanisms, and drinking patterns. Results show that individuals low in social anxiety who employ immature defense mechanisms were more likely to score highly on a measure of alcoholism, and individuals low in social anxiety who use either mature or immature defenses were more likely to binge drink. Additional analyses were also conducted, including a brief look at some demographic variables. Possible explanations of these findings, and limitations are discussed.
