本研究的目的是对先前的研究进行后续研究，这些研究表明，对酒精影响的积极预期是一个抑制变量，揭示了羞怯和饮酒之间微小但重要的关系。我们复制了酒精预期作为抑制变量的作用，显示出男性和女性羞怯和酒精使用之间存在显著的反比关系。研究对象还完成了一项关于饮酒对生活造成负面影响的测量。然而，没有证据表明对酒精的预期抑制了羞怯和饮酒负面后果之间的关系。相反，羞怯和负面后果之间存在显著的相关性，对男性而言，而对女性则不然。越来越多的证据表明，害羞与少量饮酒和可能避免危险的酒精相关行为有关。1997爱思唯尔科学有限公司
The purpose of the present study was to follow-up on previous research which showed that positive expectancies about alcohol's effects operate as a suppressor variable, revealing a small but significant relation between shyness and alcohol use. We replicated the role of alcohol expectancies as a suppressor variable, showing a significant inverse relation between shyness and alcohol use for both men and women. Subjects also completed a measure of negative life consequences resulting:from drinking. There was no evidence, however, that alcohol expectancies suppressed the relation between shyness and negative consequences of drinking. Instead, there was a significant correlation between shyness and negative consequences for men but not for women. Implications of the growing evidence that shyness is associated with minimal drinking and possible avoidance of risky alcohol-related behaviors are discussed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
