Timothy Grigsby (Social and Behavioral Health) co-published an article on "Social Anxiety, Drinking Game Motives, and Drinking Game Outcomes Among a Large Multisite Sample of University Students" in the journal Cognitive Therapy and Research. 

Undergraduates with higher levels of social anxiety may be motivated to participate in high-risk drinking events (e.g., playing drinking games [DG] as a way to "fit in" or facilitate socialization with peers), putting them at an elevated risk of experiencing alcohol-related negative consequences. This study sough to test associations between social anxiety symptoms, DG behaviors and consequences, and DG-specific motives among a large, multisite sample of undergraduates.
