In the Alcohol & Behavior Laboratory, most of our research has focussed on alcohol and behavior interactions in social drinkers, especially in the areas of stress, expectancy, and cognition. Recent investigations involve laboratory-based studies of children of alcoholic parents, as well as aspects of mentally ill chemically abusing patients, and have involved community agencies as well as our own laboratory.
Many of the projects undertaken in the Alcohol & Behavior Lab result from the social process that characterizes the generation of research ideas through regular lab meetings and collaboration. Studies completed reflect not only my own interests, but also how these interests are constantly molded by the input of graduate students.
