Abstract
A cognitive social learning model of the maintenance of problem drinking is presented. Basic constructs involving social skills acquisition, experienced cognitive control, and self-efficacy expectations as they relate to alcoholism are discussed. It is concluded that the model provides a useful theoretical framework in which to conceptualize the development, maintenance, and treatment of drinking problems. A number of specific suggestions are made for further research which test various hypotheses generated by this model.This publication has 34 references indexed in Scilit:
