The moderating role of gender in social anxiety and alcohol use

hypotheses of the present study included: 1) interaction-related social anxiety will be positively related to urge to drink (UTD) in a conversation situation, likelihood to drink (LTD) during the conversation, and levels of self-reported hazardous alcohol use for women, but unrelated for men; 2) performance-related social anxiety will be positively associated with UTD during a speech and AUDIT for women, but will be unrelated for men; and 3) gender will not moderate the association between performance-related social anxiety and LTD in the public speaking task. alcohol use for men and women separately is necessary to explicate potential gender-specific risk factors, if they exist. Future research studies may focus on gender differences in alcohol expectancies and drinking motives that may lead to alcohol use, and the impact of affect intensity and emotion regulation on the relationship between social anxiety and alcohol consumption.
