b. Hypothesis: If social anxiety is associated to alcohol use, then the outcomes will be (a) stronger in the positive direction on days when participants reported stronger expectations of tension-reduction from drinking and (b) weaker (less positive or negative in direction) on days when participants reported relatively stronger expectancies of impairment from drinking

Sample Demographics: 537 (51.7% women) had a mean age of 18.77 years (SD = 1.10) during their first year of participation. Participants were mainly freshmen (57%) or sophomores (33%) and Caucasian (86%). Daily reporting adherence rate across all years was 83.7%
f. Procedure of Experiment: recruited 574 students from an introductory psychology subject pool to take part in a larger study of daily experiences, health behaviors, and alcohol use. Participants first attended an information session where they provided consent and were instructed on how to complete an Internet-based initial assessment and the daily survey. Within a week of this session, students completed the initial assessment that included demographics and a social anxiety measure by logging onto a secure website. Approximately two weeks after completing the initial assessment, participants began the daily diary procedure. They used a secure website to complete a 5-minute daily survey between 2:30 pm and 7:00 pm for
