چکیده
Using the chilling effect research as a framework, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of binge drinking to the suppression of grievances in both romantic and close platonic relationships (N = 317). Results demonstrated the association between binge drinking and chilling effects, although this relationship was only evident in friendships. Overall, chilling effects were found to be related to low partner commitment levels and high relational alternatives in romantic relationship. Finally, males and females did not differ in their chilling responses. Key concepts: Chilling effects, interpersonal relationships, binge drinking, relational alternatives, commitment Katie Neary Dunleavy and Melanie Booth-Butterfield 41
