This research examined alcohol-induced motivation to drink as a factor that contributes to preoccupation with drinking. Forty undergraduates rated their degree of preoccupation with drinking. The author determined the relationship between the undergraduates' preoccupation and the degree to which alcohol primed their motivation to drink by having them rate their desire for alcohol after they consumed a dose of alcohol or a placebo. Results showed that individual differences in preoccupation were predicted by the priming effects displayed after alcohol was consumed. More preoccupied individuals reported greater priming effects. Priming effects following placebo were minimal and were not related to preoccupation. The research shows that reinforcing effects of alcohol may contribute to cognitive preoccupation with drinking and promote patterns of alcohol abuse.
本研究考察了酒精引发的饮酒动机,将其作为导致对饮酒过度关注的一个因素。40名本科生对他们对饮酒的关注程度进行了评分。作者通过让他们在饮用一剂酒精或安慰剂后对饮酒欲望进行评分,确定了本科生的过度关注与酒精引发其饮酒动机的程度之间的关系。结果表明,饮酒后显示的启动效应可预测过度关注方面的个体差异。过度关注程度较高的个体报告的启动效应更大。安慰剂后的启动效应最小,且与过度关注无关。该研究表明,酒精的强化作用可能导致对饮酒的认知过度关注,并促进酗酒模式。
