AB  - Using an in vivo manipulation, this study examined whether alcohol outcome 
      expectancies (AOEs) vary across environmental settings. Two hundred twenty-one 
      undergraduates were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 conditions in which environmental 
      context (an on-campus bar vs. a laboratory) and instructed phase of intoxication 
      ("just enough to begin to feel intoxicated" vs. "too much to drink") were 
      manipulated. AOEs were assessed with a revised version of the Effects of Alcohol 
      Scale (L. Southwick, C. Steele, A. Marlatt, & M. Lindell, 1981). Compared with 
      participants tested in the laboratory, individuals exposed to the on-campus bar 
      expected greater alcohol-related stimulation/perceived dominance and pleasurable 
      disinhibition. Women expected more behavioral impairment during the latter stage 
      of intoxication. These findings highlight the importance of ecologically valid 
      research in this area, as well as cue-exposure assessment and treatment 
      approaches.
