当前对紧张缓解假说的重新阐述假定，只有一部分易受影响的个体在面对负面情绪时有饮酒的风险。为了进一步明确这一模型，本研究考察了情绪和饮酒相关联的情绪类型以及社会情境。参与者是74名大学生，他们完成了对情绪、饮酒情况、友谊质量和社会支持的多次评估。一系列复杂的研究结果证实了性别、友谊因素以及行为发生的时间（即周末与工作日）对情绪和饮酒之间关系的调节作用。与同龄人相比，拥有不太亲密和缺乏支持性友谊的年轻人在悲伤和敌意相对增强之后，饮酒量有增加的风险。反过来，这种饮酒行为又预示着接下来一周这些相同的负面情绪会进一步增强。研究发现，在这种情绪和饮酒的循环模式中，性别差异因不同的情感体验而有所不同。文中还讨论了对一种更精细的情绪与饮酒理论的建议。
Current reformulations of the tension reduction hypothesis posit that only a subset of vulnerable individuals are at risk for drinking in response to negative affect. To further specify this model, this study examined the types of mood and social contexts under which affect and alcohol use are associated. Participants were 74 college students who completed repeated assessments of mood, alcohol use, friendship quality, and social support. A complex pattern of findings supported the moderating influences of gender, friendship factors, and the timing of behavior (i.e., weekends vs. weekdays) on the relation between affect and alcohol use. Young adults with less intimate and supportive friendships, as compared with their peers, showed risk for greater drinking following relative elevations in sadness and hostility. Such drinking episodes, in turn, predicted subsequent elevations in these same negative moods the following week. Gender differences in such a cyclical pattern of affect and alcohol use were found to vary across differing emotional experiences. Recommendations for a more refined theory of affect and alcohol use are discussed.
