Abstract Details

2010, MA, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences : Psychology.
The current study examined the roles of the cognitive factors, positive alcohol expectancies of social anxiety reduction and drink refusal self-efficacy relevant to social situations, in mediating greater decline in alcohol behaviors by the Brief Intervention for Socially Anxious Drinkers (BISAD, n = 21) compared to an alcohol psychoeducation (n = 20) in a sample of college hazardous drinkers with social anxiety. Mediation analyses conducted using MacKinnon’s (2008) procedures indicate that decreased positive alcohol expectancies and increased drink refusal self-efficacy in social situations account for a substantial amount of the variance in treatment outcome as measured by total quantity of alcohol consumption, heavy drinking days in the past month and problems related to alcohol use. The results enhance the understanding of the role cognitive factors play in alcohol treatment outcome, which can in turn improve the efficacy of interventions aimed to reduce hazardous drinking and comorbid social anxiety.
