To compare alcohol abusers' and non-abusers' distraction for alcohol-related and emotional words, controlling for emotional valence of those words.
The experiment compared 20 alcohol abusers and 20 non-abusers in terms of performance on a computerized Stroop colour-naming test using alcohol-related and non-alcohol-related words.
Abusers rated the alcohol stimuli greater in emotional valence than the emotional stimuli. Therefore, differences in emotional-valence ratings between the two groups were statistically controlled. Against expectation, both alcohol abusers and non-abusers were more distracted by alcohol stimuli than by positive or negative emotional stimuli.
The results indicate that alcohol words are distracting for drinkers in general, and this may indicate a high level of salience for these kinds of stimuli.
比较酗酒者和非酗酒者对与酒精相关词汇和情感词汇的注意力分散情况，并控制这些词汇的情感效价。
该实验比较了20名酗酒者和20名非酗酒者在使用与酒精相关和非酒精相关词汇的计算机化斯特鲁普颜色命名测试中的表现。
酗酒者对酒精刺激的情感效价评分高于情感刺激。因此，对两组之间情感效价评分的差异进行了统计控制。与预期相反，酗酒者和非酗酒者都更容易被酒精刺激分散注意力，而不是被积极或消极的情感刺激分散注意力。
结果表明，一般来说，酒精相关词汇会分散饮酒者的注意力，这可能表明这类刺激具有高度显著性。
