dc.description.abstractDrinking is common among college students but has different social meanings and consequences for students of color. Using data from first-time U.S. resident students gathered pre-matriculation, end-of-first-year, and fall second-year, I examined the association between expectations for stereotype threat (using an identity and stereotype nonspecific measure) over the first year (N = 260) and the relationship between anticipated stereotype threat and alcohol outcomes (total drinks per week and total consequences over the past 3 months) as a main effect and as moderated by Asian and Latinx racial and ethnic identities (Ns = 221-257). Pre-matriculation and end-of-first-year stereotype threat scores were correlated (r = .34, p < .001), supporting use of pre-matriculation (anticipated) stereotype threat scores for other planned analyses. No significant associations were detected between anticipated stereotype threat and either alcohol outcome, either as a main or moderated effect. Recommendations for future studies and lessons drawn from the present study are discussed.en_US
