The subliminal psychodynamic activation method was used to enhance the efficacy of a behavior therapy approach to smoking cessation. Thirty-four subjects received a 3-week, group-oriented, multicomponent behavior therapy package aimed at smoking cessation. Subjects were randomly assigned to either experimental or control groups. The experimental group received the subliminal message "mommy and I are one," and the control group the message "people are walking." At 4-weeks post-treatment the abstinence rate for the experimentals was 67 per cent and 12.5 per cent for the controls. At 12-weeks follow-up, 44 per cent of the experimentals and 12.5 per cent of the controls were abstinent. A chi2 analysis revealed a statistically significant difference between groups at 4 but not 12 weeks. A multiple analysis of covariance was used to analyze percentage of baseline smoking at both follow-up points. A significant main effect for treatment and for time emerged along with an interaction between treatment and time. Thus, the results revealed that the subliminally exposed message differentially effected the post-treatment smoking behavior of the experimental group. The results were interpreted as evidence for a transference phenomena explanation for the effectiveness of the behavioral treatment program.
阈下心理动力激活法被用于增强一种行为疗法在戒烟方面的疗效。34名受试者接受了为期3周、以小组为导向的多成分行为疗法套餐，目标是戒烟。受试者被随机分配到实验组或对照组。实验组接收阈下信息“我和妈妈融为一体”，对照组接收信息“人们在行走”。治疗后4周，实验组的戒烟率为67%，对照组为12.5%。在12周的随访中，44%的实验组受试者和12.5%的对照组受试者戒烟。卡方分析显示，两组在4周时有统计学显著差异，但在12周时没有。采用多元协方差分析来分析两个随访点的基线吸烟百分比。出现了治疗和时间的显著主效应以及治疗与时间之间的交互作用。因此，结果显示阈下呈现的信息对实验组治疗后的吸烟行为有不同影响。这些结果被解释为行为治疗方案有效性的移情现象解释的证据。
