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.

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 Alcohol Consumption, Drinking Motives, Social Anxiety, and the College Culture by : Noel A. Crabtree
Download or read book Alcohol Consumption, Drinking Motives, Social Anxiety, and the College Culture written by Noel A. Crabtree and published by . 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.

Download or read book Social Anxiety and Alcohol-related Problems written by Frances Rekrut and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 49 pages. 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 Examining Associations Between Peer Context, Social Anxiety, and Alcohol Expectancies in Undergraduate Students by : Shannon Lee Henry

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 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.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Substance Use and Substance Use Disorders written by Kenneth J. Sher and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-13 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Substance use and substance use disorders (SUDs) have been documented in a number of cultures since the beginnings of recorded time and represent major societal concerns in the present day. The Oxford Handbook of Substance Use and Substance Use Disorders provides comprehensive reviews of key areas of inquiry into the fundamental nature of substance use and SUDs, their features, causes, consequences, course, treatment, and prevention. It is clear that understanding these various aspects of substance use and SUDs requires a multidisciplinary perspective that considers the pharmacology of drugs of abuse, genetic variation in these acute and chronic effects, and psychological processes in the context of the interpersonal and cultural contexts. Comprising two volumes, this Handbook also highlights a range of opportunities and challenges facing those interested in the basic understanding of the nature of these phenomena and novel approaches to assess, prevent, and treat these conditions with the goal of reducing the enormous burden these problems place on our global society. Chapters in Volume 1 cover the historical and cultural contexts of substance use and its consequences, its epidemiology and course, etiological processes from the perspective of neuropharmacology, genetics, personality, development, motivation, and the interpersonal and larger social environment. Chapters in Volume 2 cover major health and social consequences of substance involvement, psychiatric comorbidity, assessment, and interventions. Each chapter highlights key issues in the respective topic area and raises unanswered questions for future research. All chapters are authored by leading scholars in each topic. The level of coverage is sufficiently deep to be of value to both trainees and established scientists and clinicians interested in an evidenced-based approach.
Book Synopsis The Effect of Alcohol Outcome Expectancies on the Relationship of Social Anxiety and Desirability of Alcohol by : Hilary Grace Casner
Download or read book The Effect of Alcohol Outcome Expectancies on the Relationship of Social Anxiety and Desirability of Alcohol written by Hilary Grace Casner and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The comorbidity of social anxiety disorder and alcohol use disorders is well-documented in the research literature. However, conflicting findings have been noted in cross-sectional investigations of this link; some studies indicate that individuals with social anxiety disorder are more likely to engage in problematic alcohol use, while others suggest that social anxiety may serve as a protective factor against heavy drinking. Alcohol outcome expectancies (AOEs), the beliefs one holds about the effects of alcohol consumption, have been identified as an important variable in the consideration of the social anxiety-alcohol use link. The current study tested the effect of an expectancy generation task for social, positive, and negative AOEs and social anxiety level on alcohol desirability among 299 college students (mean age 19.30 [SD =1.40]; 58.9% women) who completed an online study. No significant differences in alcohol desirability were noted between the AOE conditions or high and low social anxiety groups. However, sex, baseline desire for alcohol, quantity and frequency of alcohol use, and participants' endorsement of AOEs were associated with alcohol desirability, consistent with the research literature. While the expectancy generation task failed to affect participant reports of alcohol desirability, the results of the current study support the use of the alcohol desirability measures in assessing level of desire to consume alcohol.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military veterans attending college may encounter difficulties resulting from the clash of military and collegiate cultures. A lack of social support during the military-to- college transition may promote the development of unhealthy coping mechanisms to deal with the anxiety of college adjustment. Problematic alcohol use may be one of these coping mechanisms. Previous studies in the general population have found positive correlations between alcohol use, anxiety and poor social support; however, the literature remains sparse with regard to the potential interactions of these variables for military veterans in the college setting. The current study sought to fill this void in the literature by examining alcohol use, anxiety, and social support among military veteran students and their civilian peers. Quantitative analyses were used to determine the ability of anxiety, student group (military veteran or civilian), social support, and their interactions to predict alcohol use among college students, while controlling for age. To enrich these results, a qualitative component was included to better understand collegiate drinking among military veterans and the influences of anxiety and social support on alcohol use. In addition, as an exploratory measure, veterans’ thoughts on improving military services in the university setting were also collected. While anxiety, social support, student group, and their interactions were not significant predictors of alcohol use in quantitative analyses, all of these factors were reflected in the themes that emerged from the qualitative component of the study. Further, qualitative responses suggested that military veterans on campus may benefit from virtual services and/or an expansion of the scheduling of services to better suit students' busy class schedules, as well as their full work and family lives. Taken together, the results of this study have the potential to inform universities in ways that could improve the college experience for military veterans.
Book Synopsis Heterosocial Anxiety Intervention for Excessive Alcohol Users in College by : Joshua Luke Medjuck
Download or read book Heterosocial Anxiety Intervention for Excessive Alcohol Users in College written by Joshua Luke Medjuck and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use continues to grow at an alarming rate in college students despite serious health risks and numerous attempts to implement effective prevention programs. Many interventions are costly, time-consuming, and unappealing to young adults. Social anxiety is conceptualized as contributing to alcohol use but research has been unable to show a clear relationship between these two factors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a brief self-help book on alcohol use with college students reporting elevated drinking rates and heterosocial anxiety. The self-help book was written by the principal investigator and William O'Donohue, Ph.D. and utilized cognitive-behavioral techniques for reducing heterosocial anxiety, or anxiety caused by opposite sex interactions, in a casual and interactive format. Over 500 undergraduate students were screened for participation and 49 were randomly assigned to read the self-help book or a wait-list control condition. Participants completed several dependent measures at the beginning and end of a five week period. Results showed significant differences for the self-help group in terms of alcohol use, heterosocial anxiety, and heterosocial competence. The self-help group also demonstrated significant between group differences for heterosocial competence and heterosexual interactions. No significant changes were found in the self-help group for alcohol-related problems or binge drinking. Results, study limitations and implications for alcohol research with college students are discussed.
