4.1. Interaction effects
Contrary to hypotheses, only one alcohol expectancy variable moderated the relationship between coping strategies and drinking. Consistent with previous literature strong expectations of tension reduction countered any positive effects of problem focused coping, resulting in greater drinkingamong those with strong expectancies. The failure of any other moderated relationship to emerge in the data was unexpected. The relationships between socio-cognitive variables related to drinking are clearly complex, and there are many factors not measured in this study which may further explain the results. For example, additional factors such as the context inwhich drinking occurs, individual self-efficacy for refusing a drink and similar variables are known to interactwith alcohol expectancies (e.g., Hasking & Oei, 2002a, 2004, 2007). As such it is possible that rather than simply mediating the relationships between coping strategies, drinkingmotives and drinking, alcohol expectancies interactwith other factors to play a more complex role in governing drinking behaviour.
