Not yet recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07390084 (DoraR00) is an interventional study for Psychological Stress, Social Interaction and is currently not yet recruiting. Enrollment is planned to begin on February 1, 2026 and continue until the study accrues 160 participants. Led by University of Washington, this study is expected to complete by June 30, 2027. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on February 6, 2026.
Brief Summary
This preregistration documents an experiment examining the effects of acute stress and social context on alcohol-related decision-making. The study uses a 2x2 factorial design (stress vs. control × social vs. alone) with dyadic recruitment.
Detailed Description

Our first set of hypotheses tests whether the decision is influenced by stress and social context:

H1a: Stress affects the decision between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, so that participants in the stress conditions choose alcoholic over non-alcoholic drinks more often compared to participants in the no stress conditions.

H1b: Social context affects the decision between alcoholic and non-alc...

ExperimentalStress Alone
These participants will undergo a stress induction and will make decisions about consuming alcohol alone.
Stress
Participants randomly assigned to the stress condition will undergo the standard protocol of the Trier Social Stress Test. Participants randomly assigned to the control condition will undergo a validated, non-stressful control procedure mirroring the TSST.
ExperimentalStress Social
These participants will undergo a stress induction and will make decisions about consuming alcohol with a known peer.
