The relationship between alcohol consumption and alcohol-related violence has been firmly established in a wide array of studies concerning various forms of violence including intimate partner violence, domestic violence as well as sexual assault. One factor which has been highlighted as having a moderating effect on the relationship between alcohol consumption and alcohol-related aggression is the specific aggression-related alcohol expectancies concerning the effects of alcohol consumption on aggressive behaviour. In light of the prevalence of alcohol-related violence in South African communities it becomes important to examine the specific factors that moderate the relationship between alcohol consumption and alcohol-related aggression and violence. The aim of this study was to examine aggressionrelated alcohol expectancies as a moderating factor in the relationship between alcohol consumption and alcohol-related aggression and to examine the possible influence of exposure to community alcohol-related aggression in the formulation of aggression-related alcohol expectancies. The main objectives of this were to examine aggression-related alcohol expectancies as well as exposure to community alcohol-related aggression as domains for intervention to prevent alcohol-related violence.

"The literature is conflicting as to whether males or females engage in more alcohol-related aggression (Eagly & Steffen, 1986; Frodi, Jacaulay, & Thome, 1977). The nature of alcohol expectancies further complicate this picture. Some claim males expect to be aggressive while females expect to have positive effects when drinking alcohol (Brown et al., 1980). Others found both genders expected verbal aggression to increase (Rohsenow & Bachorowski, 1984). Actual alcohol consumption is also a factor in acting out aggressive behaviors (George & Dermen, 1988; Rohsenow & Bachorowski, 1984). The present study examined gender differences regarding alcohol expectancies, alcohol use, and aggression. A total of 171 male and female EWU students participated by completing a packet of questionnaires. It was found that heavy drinkers report more actual aggression than light drinkers but do not report more alcohol-related aggression. Additionally, males report more actual aggression and report more aggressive expectancies than females overall. Males and females did not differ in level of alcohol-related aggression as a result of level of alcohol use, however"--Document.

Author's abstract: Alcohol consumption is linked to increases in aggression. Recently, alcohol-related cues alone have been shown to increase aggressive thoughts and behaviors. Furthermore, aggression is displayed differently by men and women; men are more physically aggressive, whereas women are more relationally aggressive. The current study further explored this influence of alcohol-related cues on physical and relational aggression. Furthermore, the study explored the influence of participant gender on type of aggression expressed. In this study, 126 undergraduates were primed with alcohol-related (e.g., Miller Lite) or non-alcohol related commercials (e.g., Diet Coke). Additionally, participants completed a competitive noise-blast task (physical aggression measure of length and loudness of noise-blasts), evaluated experimenter performance (relational aggression measure of ratings and recommendation of experimenter), and completed surveys on frequency of alcohol consumption, alcohol expectancies, and acceptance of aggressive behaviors. MANOVA results revealed a main effect of participant gender and aggression levels. Men gave longer noise-blasts than women, and women gave lower ratings and recommendations of experimenter than men. No relationship was found between type of commercial and aggression levels. Additionally, correlations between alcohol consumption and aggressive beliefs were found only for the alcohol condition. Results suggest that a gender difference in aggression still exists and that alcoholic cues were effective in priming participants to have more aggressive self-perceptions. Future research should examine effects of alcohol-cues on angered and non-angered participants.

Nearly two thirds of full-time college students report alcohol use (Hingson, 2009). Previous research has identified risk factors that place college students at higher risk for problematic alcohol use (Hingson, 2009; Johnston et al., 2003; Marlatt et al., 2002). The present study examined the relationship between three personality traits, alcohol expectancies, alcohol consumption, and negative consequences of drinking among community college students.

Abstract: The present study examined the role of sex-related alcohol expectancies on judgments of perpetrator and victim responsibility/blame for inappropriate sexual behavior in a date rape analog involving alcohol. Participants were exposed to one of two date rape scenarios. In the experimental condition, the man and woman mentioned their consumption of alcohol and intoxication level, while the control condition was devoid of any mention of alcohol. Contrary to predictions, no interaction effects were found for sex-related alcohol expectancies and the presence or absence of alcohol for any dependent variable. However, a main effect for sex-related alcohol expectancies was found for response latency on the Date Rape Discrimination Task (DRDT). Additionally, a sex-related alcohol expectancy main effect trend on perception of perpetrator responsibility was also detected.

This study contributes new literature to the growing body of research on college student drinking. This study examined the relationship between college student alcohol use, alcohol-related problems and drinking games participation (DG), notably the meditational role of positive alcohol expectancies between participation, use, and problems. Participants included 1329 entering freshmen at a Bay Area university who self-identified as 18 years of ago or older, reported a recent experience of drinking alcohol, and who completed the survey during orientation before their first academic quarter. Participants were asked to complete brief questionnaires regarding demographics, alcohol use during the previous three months, alcohol-related consequences, frequency of DG participation, favorite DG, and the Alcohol Expectancy Inventory (AEI). Simple regressions were used to examine the relationships between overall alcohol use, as measured by the Quantity Frequency Index (QFI), the number of different alcohol-related problems, and frequency of DG participation. A Chi-squared analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between type of game, as outlined by LaBrie (2013) and frequency of participation. An analysis of variance was conducted to examine the relationship between the frequency of DG participation and number of alcohol-related problems endorsed by students. To assess the effect of positive alcohol expectancies on the relationship between QFI and DG participation, a meditational path analysis was implemented using procedures outlined by Baron and Kenny (1986). Results indicate that increased frequency of alcohol involvement is associated with an increase in the number of alcohol-related problems. Similarly, greater frequency of DG participation was associated with a greater number of problems endorsed by students, as well as greater alcohol involvement overall. Type of DG was not associated with participation or problems in this study. Additionally, positive alcohol expectancies did not appear to mediate the relationship between DG participation and alcohol involvement, in support of resent research, which indicates that motives, rather than expectancies, may be a stronger mediator of college student drinking practices and negative alcohol-related consequences. Furthermore, this study supports literature demonstrating an association between DG participation and alcohol involvement. College drinking prevention and intervention programs may benefit from targeting DG involvement specifically.
