title: Alcohol's effects on self-awareness.
abstract: The results of two studies were reanalyzed to examine the effect of alcohol and expectations about intoxication on measures of self-awareness. The first study evaluated alcohol's effects on perception of negative interpersonal feedback and self-evaluation; the second analyzed alcohol's impact on the interaction of couples in which one of the spouses was an alcoholic. In neither study did intoxication result in decreased use of self-focused statements or first person pronouns as predicted by Hull's self-awareness model of alcohol consumption.
