Melissa A. Cyders is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Indiana University, specializing in clinical psychology with a focus on impulsivity and risk-taking behaviors. She is affiliated with the Indiana Alcohol Research Center, Indiana University Center for Neuroimaging, and Indiana University Health Neuroscience Center. Her educational background includes dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology and Spanish from Ohio University (2003), a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from the University of Kentucky (2005), and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Kentucky (2009) with a clinical internship at VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System and the University of Michigan Medical School. Dr. Cyders' research centers on the UPPS-P model of impulsivity, dissecting it into five distinct traits: sensation seeking, lack of perseverance, lack of deliberation, negative urgency, and positive urgency. She demonstrates that emotion-based impulsivity (particularly negative and positive urgency) serves as a transdiagnostic endophenotype for maladaptive behaviors including substance abuse, risky sexual behavior, and binge eating. Her neurocognitive work reveals urgency traits correlate with hyperactivity in limbic regions (left amygdala, orbitofrontal cortex) during emotional processing and reward regions (ventromedial prefrontal cortex) during alcohol cue exposure. She actively translates research into community applications through projects on Opioid Use Disorder recovery, school-based youth interventions for risk-taking reduction, and collaborations with community groups addressing sexual trafficking victims. Her work emphasizes culturally-specific factors to improve treatment accessibility for underrepresented populations and challenges DSM-5 limitations by advocating homogeneous dimensional approaches to mental health. Dr. Cyders leads research initiatives examining impulsivity's role in substance use treatment outcomes, including meta-analyses showing negative urgency predicts poorer recovery. Her current projects investigate relapse triggers, treatment barriers, and text-based interventions for high-risk drinking, with a focus on transdiagnostic risk factors across sociodemographic spectra.
