Key findings
- This paper outlines the development and initial validation of a pictorial measure of alcohol-related beliefs, namely the Refined Alcohol Expectancy Task (RAET)
- Participants were equally efficient in recognising the alcoholic and non-alcoholic pictures and could identify the emotions in the pictographic representations
- The RAET has adequate psychometric properties and successfully assesses alcohol expectancies
- Expectancy dimensions assessed by the RAET seemed to be independent of drinking habits
