Biography

William George is a Professor at the University of Washington, where he conducts research in the Department of Psychology. His primary research focuses on the intersection of alcohol use and sexual behavior, utilizing alcohol expectancy theory and alcohol myopia theory as frameworks to understand post-drinking sexual decisions. His work often involves laboratory-based experiments assessing the disinhibitory effects of alcohol on sexual perception and behavior, including sexual aggression and risk-taking related to HIV/AIDS. He has published papers that investigate how factors such as racial stereotypes influence sexual perceptions and victim-blaming in alcohol-related sexual assaults. An important aspect of his research is understanding how childhood sexual abuse impacts women's responses in laboratory scenarios involving sexuality. In addition to his primary research interests, he explores theories and therapies for addiction, particularly regarding relapse prevention and the behaviors of sex offenders.
