Tasks and investigated components in social cognition research among adults with alcohol use disorder: A critical scoping review.
Conclusions: Emotion recognition and ToM have been extensively investigated yet most tasks are multidetermined, lack ecological validity, or fail to assess the targeted ability. Conversely, social perception/knowledge and attributional biases, despite their clear relevance to AUD, are insufficiently studied. We propose concrete ways to address these issues.

Brief alcohol interventions for young adults: Strengthening effects, disentangling mechanisms, and scaling up for impact.
Conclusions: In this editorial introduction, we discuss several common themes from the articles included in the special issue and highlight important directions for future research aimed at strengthening the effects, disentangling mechanisms, and scaling up brief alcohol interventions for broader impact on the young adult population.

Commodity discounting: Obstacles and solutions.
Conclusions: Solutions are presented and evaluated for each of these five obstacles, including the following: (1) assessing relevant experiences and explicitly stipulating transportation and storage issues, (2) systematic analyses across various wordings and holding wording constant across commodities, (3) using an adjusting delay procedure with only whole commodities, (4) assessing value for different commodity amounts (without delay) and adopting quantitative models of discounting that include marginal utility, and (5) controlling for motivating operations, accounting for individual histories, and using closed economies....

Moral incongruence and addiction: A registered report.
Conclusions: Moral incongruence is clearly a salient factor in understanding compulsive sexual behavior, and it appears to also be salient to gambling disorder. Though moral incongruence does not seem relevant to some substances (i.e., nicotine, prescription drug misuse, or illicit drug use), further research is needed regarding the effect of moral incongruence on self-reported feelings of addiction to alcohol and marijuana.

Predicting online problem gambling treatment discontinuation: New evidence from cross-validated models.
Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, Vol 37(3), May 2023, 519-532; doi:10.1037/adb0000875Objective: There are tens of millions of problem gamblers in the world, many of whom either do not seek treatment or fail to commit to it. Dropout rates are high, and not enough is known about factors predicting treatment adherence. We focus on an online cognitive behavioral therapy program for severe problem gambling to determine the likelihood of treatment discontinuation at three different treatment phases: pretreatment, before halfway, and before the end of the program. Method: Participants were Finnish adults (N = 1,139, 670 males, ...

Clarification to Allen et al. (2022).
Conclusions: These findings suggest significant sex differences in the relationship between trait impulsivity and disinhibition. This sex difference may explain inconsistent research findings in studies assessing links between trait and behavioral measures of impulsivity. The data also point to trait impulsivity and sensitivity to alcohol-induced disinhibition as independent constructs.

Constructs derived from the addiction cycle predict alcohol use disorder treatment outcomes and recovery 3 years following treatment.
Conclusions: The results support the utility of domains relevant to the addiction cycle in predicting AUD treatment outcomes and recovery among individuals who sought treatment for AUD. The addiction cycle domains were more strongly associated with outcomes than other measures clinicians might use to predict outcomes (e.g., AUD symptoms). Future research should continue to develop and refine the items and test whether the addiction cycle domains can inform treatment planning.

Contextual decision-making and alcohol use disorder criteria: Delayed reward, delayed loss, and probabilistic reward discounting.
Conclusions: These results support the idea that AUD criteria are etiologically distinct, resulting in varying AUD profiles between persons that are differentially associated with behavioral economic discounting.

Behavioral economic and value-based decision-making constructs that discriminate current heavy drinkers versus people who reduced their drinking without treatment.
Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, Vol 37(1), Feb 2023, 132-143; doi:10.1037/adb0000873Objective: A substantial number of people reduce their consumption of alcohol in the absence of formal treatment; however, less is known about the mechanisms of change. The aim of this study is to explore whether constructs derived from behavioral economics and computational decision-modeling characterize the moderation of alcohol consumption that many heavy drinkers experience without treatment. Method: Between-subject, preregistered design. People who reside in the United Kingdom and who drink heavily (n = 60) or used to drink heavily ...
