The aim of the study was to define the relationships between social skills, alcohol outcome expectancies and alcohol use among adolescents. The participants of this study were 248 (110 boys and 138 girls) high school students. 134 participants (39 boys and 75 girls of them) were in a risk of alcohol use and 114 participants (71 boys and 63 girls of them) weren’t in a risk of alcohol use. The social skills of adolescents were examinated by Tromso Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) (made by Silvera, Martinussen, Dahl, 2001). Alcohol outcome expectancies were examinated by Alcohol Outcome Expectancies Scale (made by S. C. Martino et al., 2006). The risk of the alcohol use were examinated by CRAFFT scale (made by Knight et al., 2002). The rezults of the study showed that positive alcohol outcome expectancies of boys, who were in a risk of alcohol use, and positive and negative alcohol outcome expectancies of girls, who were in a risk of alcohol use, were more significant in such alcohol use group of weren‘t risk. The boys who are in a risk of alcohol use have better social skills, than the boys who aren‘t in a risk of alcohol. Differences between the girls who are or not in a risk of alcohol use don‘t exist. The study also showed that positive relation exist between positive alcohol outcome expectancies and social information processing and between negative alcohol outcome expectancies and social awareness.
