Evidence Supporting Sher (1991) Enhancement Reinforcement Pathway?

A

Boys of alcoholic fathers had less sensitivity to effects of alcohol than FH- boys e.g. less static ataxia. 3. FH+ teens have greater positive alcohol expectancies than FH- teens, even before onset of alcohol initiation

-> Substance use problem

Surveyed students on drinking practices, consequences and beliefs in spring 2000.
Quantity alone is an insufficient metric for predicting problematic drinking in college students
Styles with rapid consumption and pro-intoxication beliefs identified
Style and beliefs are equally, if not more important, in predicting problematic use

Prevalence rate was 65% with most students pregaming on less than 50% of occasions, and attaining a BAC of .07. Pregaming predicted an additional 7% variance in predicting problems above-and-beyond quantity.

Each system composed of variables that serve either as instigators or controls against involvement in problem behavior. <risk and protective factors. Balance between instigations and controls determine the degree of proneness for problem behavior within each system
Overall level of proneness for problem behavior, across all three systems (Personality, perceive environment and bx system), reflects the degree of psychosocial conventionality unconventionality characterizing each adolescent
