Abstract

Introduction: Elaborated intrusion theory suggests that imagery is central to craving; however, the possibility that cue-elicited multisensory imagery produces such urges has not been studied enough in the literature. Thus, we investigated the role of cue-elicited multisensory imagery on alcohol craving in individuals who are hazardous and social drinkers compared to mental and neutral imagery conditions.

Methods: In an online experiment, hazardous and social drinkers (N = 348) between 18 and 45 years old were randomised to multisensory, mental, and neutral imagery exposure. The level of craving intensity was measured before and after imagery exposure. Also, participants rated vividness and sensory features scales after the exposure.

Results: The level of craving was significantly higher in multisensory imagery condition compared to neutral condition (b = 1.94, p < 0.001, SE = 0.30, t(344) = 6.52, standardised mean difference [SMD] = 0.89) and in mental imagery condition compared to neutral condition (b = 1.82, SE = 0.30, t(344) = 6.52, p < 0.001, SMD = 0.83). The difference between the level of craving intensity between the multisensory and mental was not significant (b = 0.12, SE = 0.22, t(344) = 0.53, p = 0.594, SMD = 0.06). Moreover, craving intensity in response to multisensory versus neutral imagery was significantly stronger among hazardous drinkers (b = -2.90, SE = 0.83, t(341) = -3.50, p < 0.001). The level of vividness was not significantly different between any conditions. The difference between levels of sensory features was higher in multisensory imagery condition compared to neutral (b = 0.95, SE = 0.30, t(345) = 3.17, p = 0.002, SMD = 0.49) and mental imagery condition (b = 0.67, SE = 0.23, t(345) = 2.36, p = 0.004, SMD = 0.35).

Conclusion: Results suggest that cue-elicited multisensory imagery may be a useful tool for eliciting alcohol craving responses and provide an additional means for better understanding the multi-layered mechanism of craving.

线索诱导的多传感器图像对酒精渴求的影响：一项随机对照试验。

引言：详尽的入侵理论表明，意象是渴望的核心；然而，线索引发的多感官意象产生这种冲动的可能性在文献中还没有得到足够的研究。因此，我们研究了与心理和中性意象条件相比，线索引发的多感官意象在危险和社交饮酒者的酒精渴求中的作用。方法：在一项在线实验中，将18至45岁的危险和社交饮酒者（N=348）随机分为多感官、心理和中性意象暴露组。在图像曝光之前和之后测量渴望强度的水平。此外，参与者在暴露后对生动性和感官特征量表进行评分。结果：与中性条件相比，多感官想象条件下的渴求水平显著更高（b=1.94，p<；0.001，SE=0.30，t（344）=6.52，标准化平均差[SMD]=0.89），与中性条件下相比，心理想象条件下（b=1.82，SE=0.03，t（346）=6.5 2，p<；0.001，SMD=0.83）。多感官和心理的渴望强度水平之间的差异不显著（b=0.12，SE=0.22，t（344）=0.53，p=0.594，SMD=0.06）。此外，危险饮酒者对多感官和中性图像的渴望强度显著更强（b=-2.90，SE=0.83，t（341）=-3.50，p<；0.001）。在任何条件下，生动程度都没有显著差异。与中性（b=0.95，SE=0.30，t（345）=3.17，p=0.002，SMD=0.49）和心理意象条件（b=0.67，SE=0.23，t（345=2.36，p=0.004）相比，多感觉意象条件下的感觉特征水平差异更大，SMD=0.35）。结论：提示诱发的多感官图像可能是诱发酒精渴求反应的有用工具，并为更好地理解渴求的多层机制提供了额外的手段。

期刊介绍： ''European Addiction Research'' is a unique international scientific journal for the rapid publication of innovative research covering all aspects of addiction and related disorders. Representing an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of recent data and expert opinion, it reflects the importance of a comprehensive approach to resolve the problems of substance abuse and addiction in Europe. Coverage ranges from clinical and research advances in the fields of psychiatry, biology, pharmacology and epidemiology to social, and legal implications of policy decisions. The goal is to facilitate open discussion among those interested in the scientific and clinical aspects of prevention, diagnosis and therapy as well as dealing with legal issues. An excellent range of original papers makes ‘European Addiction Research’ the forum of choice for all.
