The last decades, there has been increased interest in the application of implicit pictorial tasks (e.g. Visual Probe Task (VPT), Approach Avoidance Task (AAT)) to target addictive behaviors. The present study reports on the development of implicit pictorial assessment and modification tasks aimed at targeting cognitive biases underlying motivational smoking-related cognitions (i.e. the pros and cons of smoking).
Respondents were adult daily smokers not motivated to quit smoking within six months (N = 33). A cross-sectional four-step approach using qualitative and quantitative strategies was utilized to identify and match pictures of pros and cons of smoking.
The study resulted in 30 pro-con picture pairs matched on valence, arousal and complexity: the picture pairs were used to develop a VPT assessment and training for attentional biases and an AAT assessment and training for approach-avoidance biases.
The developed measurement and training tasks will be used to explore and change cognitive biases regarding pros and cons of smoking. This may consequently influence the perceived pros and cons of smoking and yield positive effects with regard to the motivation to quit smoking.
在过去几十年中，人们对应用内隐图像任务（如视觉探测任务（VPT）、趋近-回避任务（AAT））来针对成瘾行为的兴趣日益增加。本研究报告了旨在针对与动机性吸烟相关认知（即吸烟的利弊）背后的认知偏差开发的内隐图像评估和修正任务。
研究对象为6个月内无戒烟动机的成年每日吸烟者（N = 33）。采用定性和定量策略的横断面四步法来识别和匹配吸烟利弊的图片。
该研究得出了30对在效价、唤醒度和复杂度上匹配的利弊图片对：这些图片对被用于开发针对注意偏差的VPT评估和训练，以及针对趋近-回避偏差的AAT评估和训练。
所开发的测量和训练任务将用于探索和改变关于吸烟利弊的认知偏差。这可能进而影响对吸烟利弊的认知，并在戒烟动机方面产生积极效果。
