We would like to thank our colleagues for their thoughtful commentaries on our study of alcohol depictions in movies and levels of exposure to these depictions among youth in the United States.[1] In addition to providing an international perspective on our work, our colleagues rightly call for evaluations of the psychological and behavioural results of such exposure, and an understanding of the social and psychological processes that underlie such effects. We are happy to report that longitudinal studies investigating the effects of movie alcohol exposure on alcohol use over time are underway, and several articles are in press in various journals.[2-6] These studies assess the relation between exposure to alcohol use in movies and several outcomes, including onset of alcohol use, level of use, and abuse of alcohol Also included are comprehensive meditational analyses testing several potential psychosocial mediators including attitudes, expectancies, and norms about alcohol and alcohol users.We agree that the nature of alcohol depictions may very well matter for outcomes, and look forward to experimental and quasiexperimental studies testing the impact various specific portrayals (eg, alcohol paired with social success vs. negative consequences of alcohol use) might have on individuals’ attitudes, norms, and expectancies. However, we note also that the published research to date show a fairly large main effect for general exposure levels without subcategorizing the exposure.[4, 5, 7]
