Contextual and Interpersonal Influences on Impaired Control Over Drinking


We are using an ad-libitum drinking paradigm to test moderators and mediators of a social stressor to influence impaired control over drinking. Some mechanisms of interest include emotional and non-emotional cognition, impulsivity, and stress hormones. Further, another goal of this study is to determine the importance of trait (e.g. consistent) and state (e.g. in the moment) individual differences in relation to drinking behavior. We conduct experimental alcohol administration runs in a simulated bar on ASU Tempe campus. A combination of surveys, behavioral, and cognitive tasks allow us to assess individual differences on our mechanisms of interest. Impaired control over drinking is one of the earliest symptoms identified by those with alcohol use disorder (AUD). This research will inform prevention and intervention techniques of how to target impaired control as an early risk factor of AUD.

Alcohol Motives & Excuses


We conduct survey research to assess individual differences on several dimensions assumed to be related to drinking behavior. This type of cross-sectional works allows us to evaluate relationships between personality, environment, and social factors, which may relate to alcohol outcomes under a theoretical framework. By understanding these relationships, we can identify key mechanisms which should be targeted in experimental models. Our current survey assesses motives for drinking, negative affect, excusing behavior with alcohol, impulsivity and more. Several measurements have been written by our students and will be validated in Mplus and SAS including: Anger and Hostile Impulsivity, Alcohol Freedoms Evaluation, and Children of Alcoholics Questionnaire.
