目前的研究活动
I have two main lines of research that include undergraduate and graduate students, as well as former students and current colleagues. 我的主要研究领域之一 on psychoactive drug use in general and psychedelic drug use in particular. 一些一般性的 questions related to psychoactive drugs is the general public’s knowledge and acceptance 这些药物在不同情况下的作用. For example, we have conducted several studies on the public’s perceptions and attitudes towards professional athletes’ use of cannabis 医疗用途(e.g.(用于疼痛控制)，心理应用(如.g.治疗焦虑 or depression symptoms), or 娱乐使用 (e.g.(“只是为了好玩”). 一般来说，我们的 participants have reported more favorable views regarding medical and psychological 与娱乐用途相比的使用. In my Cultural Pharmacology Laboratory, we are also studying the general public’s perceptions and attitudes toward the psychedelic drug psilocybin (commonly referred to as “magic mushrooms”) for clinical, spiritual, and 娱乐使用. 目前正在对这些数据进行分析. 第二次初选，有时 related, line of research is in the broad area of 体育 marketing and 体育’ fan 行为. An example of a study that includes both lines of research investigated the relationship between alcohol use and violent acts in 体育 fans. 关于 to a study that focused only on the second line, we developed novel conceptualizations of sport fan behavior in the context of 体育 rivalries. 我们已经展示了我们的运动 fan behavior studies at regional, national, and international conferences. 一个次要的 line of research involves my continued work in the field of motivation, specifically, the Motivating Operations Concept (MOC,) through my publications and teachings in 我的实验室和课程.
研究与当前事件的联系
精神药物的使用无处不在. 从娱乐到治疗， psychoactive drugs deserve to be studied for their effects on individuals and society. In recent years, there has been a resurgence in psychedelic-assisted therapy, including 比如裸盖菇素、摇头丸和迷幻药. While there is growing evidence that these drugs can be effective in treating psychological conditions such as anxiety and depression, much research remains to be d一个 with respect to their safety and effectiveness. 与 the increase in clinical trials investigating the therapeutic potential of psychedelic drugs and efforts to decriminalize them for personal use across the US, our lab has begun to examine the general public’s knowledge and acceptance of psychedelics under 各种条件. Given that psychedelic drugs have been demonized in the past, we are interested to see if the resurgence of their therapeutic and personal use has changed the way the general public views psychedelic drugs today. 关于我们的工作 with sport fan behavior, the sport world is a billion-dollar industry and sport fans contribute to that economy in a variety of ways. 我们对体育迷行为的研究 illuminates how fans view athletes’ 行为, how they intend to spend their m一个y on sporting events and goods, and how they choose to spend their time engaging with 体育. Our research has examined fans from the NHL, MBL, NBA, NFL, and the Spanish 足球联赛，西甲联赛.
个人与研究的关系
I have been studying psychoactive drugs since graduate school when I studied the effects 滥用药物(如.g., cocaine, morphine, MDMA, GHB) on learning, memory, and motivation 在动物模型中. Since joining 菠菜网lol正规平台 in 2005, my interests have evolved along with the changes in the increased examination of psychedelic drugs. 因为上海大学没有 have the resources to support animal research, I refocused by research program to include survey and non-drug experimental research with human participants. 一位当地 organization, the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) and 它的创始人和总裁Dr. Rick Doblin, is 一个 inspiration for my lines of research. In recent years, MAPS has sponsored clinical trials examining the use of psychedelic drugs for the treatment of PTSD, among other conditions. FDA已经指定了他们的 MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD as a Breakthrough Therapy. MAPS，著名大学 (e.g., Johns Hopkins, UCLA), and advocacy organizations have conducted or plan to conduct clinical trials research into the use of psychedelics to treat mental disorders. Another person who inspired my interest in the therapeutic potential of psychedelic 药物是博士. 罗兰·格里菲思. Dr. 格里菲思 pi一个ered the scientific investigation of the cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and clinical effects of psychedelics. 我有 有幸采访了两位博士. 多布林博士. 格里菲思. 可悲的是,博士. 格里菲思 最近在与癌症作斗争后去世. Before his passing, he underwent psychedelic therapy for end-of-life trauma and reported his first-hand experience, which was unique because he was an expert in the field and a patient. 博士的工作. 多布林博士. 格里菲思 has inspired a reexamination of the potential uses of psychedelic drugs 用于治疗. It is exciting to see these drugs get more balanced and nuanced attention they deserve by the medical community and government regulators.
