This Handbook provides a broad and comprehensive overview of
psychological research on alcohol consumption. It explores the
psychological theories underpinning alcohol use and misuse,
discusses the interventions that can be designed around these
theories, and offers key insight into future developments within
the field. A range of international experts assess the unique
factors that contribute to alcohol-related behaviour as
differentiated from other health-related behaviours. They cover the
theory and context of alcohol consumption, including possible
implications of personality type, motivation and self-regulation,
and cultural and demographic factors. After reviewing the evidence
for psychological theories and predictors as accounts for alcohol
consumption, the book goes on to focus on external influences on
consumption and interventions for reducing alcohol consumption,
including those based on purchasing and consumption behaviour,
technologies such as personalised feedback apps, and social and
media phenomena such as "Dry January" and "Hello Sunday Morning".
It brings together cutting-edge contemporary research on alcohol
consumption in childhood and adolescence, including topics such as
managing offers or drinks, "pre-drinking", online identities, how
children develop their beliefs about alcohol and how adolescents
discuss alcohol with their parents. The book also offers a rounded
presentation of the tensions involved in debates around the
psychological impacts of alcohol use, discussing its role in
helping people to socialise and unwind; as well as recognising the
possible negative impacts on health, education and relationships.
This book will be of interest to academics, policymakers, public
health officials, practitioners, charities and other stakeholders
interested in understanding how alcohol affects people
psychologically. This book will also be a key resource for students
and researchers from across the social sciences.
