Testing the robustness of daily associations of affect with alcohol and cannabis use Open
Etiological models of alcohol and cannabis use disorders hypothesize that people are more likely to use substances when experiencing heightened negative affect, yet recent EMA studies found no evidence for this daily association. To provid…

Alcohol use disorder symptoms are kinda detectable in daily life (but it depends on how they are operationalized) Open
Contemporary theoretical models articulate how people experience symptoms of alcohol use disorders (AUD) in their daily lives, but few studies have modeled these symptoms at the daily level. We estimated Rasch and 2PL IRT models in two eco…

The Assessment of Alcohol Use Disorder Symptoms in Daily Life Open
Understanding how alcohol use disorder (AUD) symptoms manifest in daily life is criticalfor improving assessment and intervention strategies. This study examined the correspondence between retrospective self-reports of AUD symptoms and the…

Daily self-control demands and loss of control over drinking: The moderating role of trait impulsivity and peer exposure. Open
Utilizing a substantial sample size and rigorous methodology, this study demonstrates that predrinking self-control demands over moods and thoughts do not predict drinking more than intended. Moreover, neither peer exposure nor negative ur…

Self‐Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors From Pregnancy to Postpartum: Risk Factors and Clinical Implications Open
Objective Suicide is a leading cause of mortality among perinatal populations. Despite increasing rates, research on this topic remains limited. This paper examined (1) change in self‐injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) from pregnancy…

Value-based decision-making in daily tobacco smokers following experimental manipulation of mood Open
Background: Induction of negative mood increases tobacco choice in dependent smokers; however, less is known about the mechanisms behind this. This study addressed this gap by applying a computational model of value-based decision-making t…

Alcohol intoxication and negative mood similarly affect reward learning but not punishment learning in the Iowa Gambling Task Open
This study investigated how alcohol intoxication and negative mood affect decision-making in the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) in a high-risk sample of adults who regularly drink alcohol. Using a 2×2 between-subjects design (N=160), we experime…

Uncovering urgency in daily life: Testing a novel method for assessing emotion–impulsivity co-occurrence in momentary data. Open
Impulsivity is a personality trait with broad health implications. Urgency is a facet of impulsivity defined as the tendency to engage in rash action when experiencing strong emotions. Thus, as defined, urgency is a dynamic, if … then proc…

Within-day associations between affect and intentions to drink alcohol in adolescents and young adults: A registered report Open
Objective. Motivational theories hypothesizing that people drink to relieve negative affect have not been supported using data from people’s daily lives. People may frequently experience negative affect when alcohol use is unavailable or w…

Additive and Interactive Relations of Personality and Cognition with Externalizing Behaviors Open
Personality and cognition offer robust frameworks to understand the individual differences associated with externalizing behaviors. However, these literatures have historically been separated in the study of the externalizing spectrum. The…

How people decide to consume (more) alcohol when feeling stressed Open
The tension reduction hypothesis posits that people consume alcohol to alleviate stress and negative emotions. Prior experimental studies supported this hypothesis by showing stress-induced increases in alcohol's absolute value. However, f…

Balancing Data Quality and Bias: Investigating Functional Connectivity Exclusions in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development℠ ( <span>ABCD</span> Study) Across Quality Control Pathways Open
Analysis of resting state fMRI (rs‐fMRI) typically excludes images substantially degraded by subject motion. However, data quality, including degree of motion, relates to a broad set of participant characteristics, particularly in pediatri…

The influence of drinking consequences on alcohol expectancy likelihoods and valences: an item-level multi-level approach Open
Objective: Alcohol expectancy theory proposes that beliefs about drinking motivate or deter drinking. Although expectancies influence drinking, less is known about how the consequences of drinking influence expectancies. We modeled a feedb…

An experimental investigation into the effect of negative affect on the behavioral economic demand for alcohol. Open
The results of this study are not conclusive. In light of previous research, we consider these data to slightly increase our confidence that demand for alcohol is increased immediately following a negative emotional event. (PsycInfo Databa…
