Research that has examined responses to alcohol-related words in drinkers has mostly linked such responses to memory, attentional, and perceptual bias. However, studies of emotional processing in alcoholics have not received much attention. The main goal of the present study was to identify the features and differences of emotional responses to alcohol-related words in low- and high-risk drinkers.
A total of 149 low-risk drinkers and 125 high-risk drinkers evaluated five alcohol-related words and 15 words from the Affective Norms for English Words in the dimensions of valence, arousal, and dominance using the Self-Assessment Manikin.
The results indicated that high-risk drinkers evaluated alcohol-related words as more appetitive and arousing.
These results, together with findings in the attention and memory research literature, suggest that alcohol-related words can serve as conditioned cues in alcohol consumption.
研究饮酒者对与酒精相关词汇的反应,大多将此类反应与记忆、注意力和感知偏差联系起来。然而,酗酒者情绪加工的研究并未受到太多关注。本研究的主要目的是确定低风险和高风险饮酒者对与酒精相关词汇的情绪反应的特征和差异。
共有149名低风险饮酒者和125名高风险饮酒者使用自我评估人体模型,在效价、唤醒和支配维度上对五个与酒精相关的词汇和15个来自《英语情感规范》的词汇进行评估。
结果表明,高风险饮酒者将与酒精相关的词汇评价为更具食欲和刺激性。
这些结果,连同注意力和记忆研究文献中的发现,表明与酒精相关的词汇可作为饮酒行为中的条件线索。
