直到最近，人们才开始研究排斥作为一种相关的社会压力源，可能先于大学生饮酒。目前的研究继续进行初步的努力，以检验排斥对随后的实验室酒精消费的影响。在实验室进行了2（性别：男性，女性） × 2（条件：排斥，对照）受试者间实验设计，以检查这些变量对酒精消耗的影响。社交饮酒的大学生（N = 40；43%为女性）被随机分配到两项社交互动任务中的一项：要么是被两个同伙排除在外的面对面交谈，要么是与同伙一起独立评价中立的照片。然后，参与者喝了一杯启动饮料（目标剂量 = 0.03 BrAC），然后完成了高达710 毫升的淡啤酒的模拟味觉测试。在模拟味觉测试期间消耗的量（以ml为单位）作为主要因变量。与对照条件相比，排斥条件在降低情绪和心理需求变量（即控制、归属）方面效果显著。从分析中剔除那些认为同盟者是研究的一部分的人（n = 7；3对照，4排斥）后，结果表明男性比女性消费更多的啤酒，并且被排斥的参与者倾向于比对照组参与者消费更多的啤酒。研究结果为研究排斥对饮酒的影响的新兴文献提供了重要的方法补充，并表明排斥可能是研究饮酒应对行为的有价值的补充。排斥可能会影响酒精的使用，但已经进行了有限的实验工作。面对面的排斥会降低积极情绪、归属感、自尊和控制力。与中性对照组相比，被排斥者有增加酒精使用的趋势。
Ostracism has only recently been investigated as a relevant social stressor that might precede college student alcohol use. The present study continues initial efforts to examine the effects of ostracism on subsequent alcohol consumption in the laboratory. A 2 (sex: male, female) × 2 (condition: ostracism, control) between-subjects experimental design was conducted to examine the effects of these variables on alcohol consumption in the laboratory. Social drinking college students (N = 40; 43% female) were randomly assigned to one of two social interaction tasks: either an in-person conversation from which the participant was excluded by two confederates, or independently rating neutrally valenced photographs alongside confederates. Participants then consumed a priming drink (targeted dose = 0.03 BrAC) before completing a mock taste test of up to 710 ml of light beer. Amount consumed (in ml) during the mock taste test served as the primary dependent variable. The ostracism condition was effective at decreasing mood and psychological need variables (i.e., control, belonging) compared to the control condition. After removing from analyses those who identified the confederates as part of the study (n = 7; 3 control, 4 ostracism), results indicated that males consumed more beer than females, and that ostracized participants trended toward consuming more beer than control participants. Findings contribute important methodological additions to a burgeoning literature on the effects of ostracism on drinking, and suggest that ostracism may be a valuable addition to studies examining drinking to cope behaviors. Ostracism may affect alcohol use, but limited experimental work has been conducted. In-person ostracism decreased positive mood, belonging, self-esteem, and control. Ostracism had a trend toward increased alcohol use compared to a neutral control.
