Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Behavioral Sciences is requesting empirical manuscripts to undergo the peer-review process for a Special Issue on Stress and Drinking. Julie A. Patock-Peckham serves as the guest editor. We are seeking papers focusing on the psychosocial determinants (traits or environmental influences) of alcohol-use disorders associated with stress and drinking too much. Papers with acute manipulations of stress, novel trait predictors of stress, trauma history, lifetime allostatic load, loneliness, relationships and grief, job loss, family history, immigrant status, and poor sleep quality are welcome. Papers that include impaired control over alcohol-use measures and/or heavy-episodic-drinking measures will be of particular interest. We welcome empirical papers with alcohol self-administration techniques, ecological momentary assessment (EMA), longitudinal data, and novel cross-sectional findings that push the field forward. We would like a group of papers that hit a variety of age groups including adolescents, emerging adults, and middle aged as well as aging adults. Due to gaps in the literature regarding gender health disparities in alcohol self-administration studies, papers with samples with a sufficient ratio of women to men will receive preference for this Special Issue.
