A comprehensive measure of alcohol outcome expectancies was developed through the use of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and found to demonstrate adequate internal consistency, temporal stability, and construct validity.

555 Citations1989Bruce A. Christiansen, Gregory T. Smith +2 more
Results show that five of seven expectancy scores readily discriminated between nonproblem drinkers and those subsequently beginning problem drinking and accounted for a large portion of the variance in a continuous quantity/frequency index and a problem drinking index.

474 Citations1993Jack Darkes, Mark S. Goldman
Experimental findings support a causal (mediational) interpretation of expectancy operation, and the implications for a cognitive (memory) model of expectancies and for prevention and intervention programs for problem drinking and alcoholism are discussed.

This article shows that expectancy findings, discussed by Leigh (1989a) as reflecting "psychometric" limitations, are instead quite consistent with recent network models of memory structure.

Results from these studies supported the validity of the expectancy constructs and the proposed distinctions among expectancy and attitude constructs-in terms of strong discriminant validity, absence of self-report bias, and differential prediction of alcohol use.

287 Citations1994Deborah A. Cohen, Jean L. Richardson +1 more
Children who reported that parents spent more time with them and communicated with them more frequently had lower onset rates of using alcohol and tobacco in the last month, and parents should be targeted in future substance use prevention programs, before their children reach adolescence.

Data suggest that single-parent and intact families may not be skilled at resolving issues and coping with life's difficulties whether or not they are drug-related, and showed that aversive affective behavior was more likely to be displayed by substance-using adolescents,Whether or not the issue was drug- related.

Data from a 3-year longitudinal study indicates that expectancy assessment may contribute to the identification of individual high-risk adolescents before drinking onset, and experimental manipulation of expectancies can produce significant drinking reductions in heavy-drinking college students.
Journal of Studies on AlcoholEndorsement and strength of alcohol expectancies.

21 Citations1988Martin S. Denoff
The constellation of child-rearing practices to emerge, which was reflective of achievement pressure and conditional approval, corresponded with the subset of irrational belief dimensions of the adolescent abusers,which was suggestive of approval anxiety.

1 Citations1992Gregory T. Smith, Terri L. Miller
A review of the published research on the assessment and treatment of adolescent alcohol abuse reveals very few empirical investigations of either topic, and it appears that most adolescent treatment programs have been developed intuitively.
