Fl. Reese et R. Friend, ALCOHOL EXPECTANCIES AND DRINKING PRACTICES AMONG BLACK-AND-WHITE UNDERGRADUATE MALES, Journal of college student development, 35(5), 1994, pp. 319-323
This study investigated factors related to drinking among undergraduat
e males. White students endorsed more positive alcohol expectancies fo
r physical/social pleasure, social assertiveness, and tension-reductio
n than Black students. Partial support was found for the role of expec
tancies as moderators of the relationship between ethnic status and al
cohol consumption.
