To explore the possibility of other theoretical relationships between the variables of Interest, we tesed several altemative models These included the possibility that actual drinking mediated the relationship between coping strategies and alcohol expectancies. And that expectancies mediate the relationship between drinking and drinking motives, In all these analyses only one mediation pathway was observed, specifically, AUDIT scores were observed to mediate the relationship between avoidant coping strategies and expectations of tension reduction (z=4.76, p<.001), we also explored whether the relationships between coping strategies, alcohol expectancies and drinking might be mediated by coping motives for drinking as suggested by Catanzaro and Laurent (2004), the interaction observed between problem focused coping and negative expectancies was not mediated by any of the motive variables.
