Melissa A. Cyders studies the psychological factors behind substance use, alcohol use disorders, and other risky or impulsive behaviors. Much of her work focuses on impulsivity — especially acting rashly under strong emotions ("urgency") — and on developing and validating questionnaires that measure these traits across different cultures and populations. She also examines treatment, recovery, and how stigma affects people seeking help for addiction.
