Expectancies for alcohol to affect tension and anxiety as a function of time

Article Abstract:

Alcohol outcome expectancies (AOE) have been linked to drinking behavior. It is hypothesized that expectancies may be time-specific. The findings indicated that tension-reduction expectancies are not stable during the course of a drinking episode. A treatment approach aimed at amplifying attention to expectancies for the more negative longer-term effects of alcohol is suggested.

Alcohol effects on the facial expressions of anxiety patients undergoing a panic provocation

Article Abstract:

The effects of alcohol on facial expressions are examined using anxiety patients undergoing panic provocation. It was found that facial expressions of alcohol drinkers have lower emotional masking. A parallel recommendation for future studies considers emotional masking as a nuisance variable because it is sometimes used to cover fear and distress. It is concluded that facial expressions can be an informative tool in alcohol research.
