Background: Prior studies have found that social rejection is associated with increases in negative affect, distress, and hostility. Fewer studies, however, have examined the impact of social rejection on alcohol use, and no known studies have tested whether the impact of social rejection by close others differs from social rejection by acquaintances in its association with subsequent drinking.
Methods: Participants completed event-contingent reports of their social interactions and alcohol use for 14 consecutive days on smartphones.
