Abstract

Objective: To understand the influence of acute alcohol consumption on the recall and recognition of warning messages.

Method: Participants (n = 82) were randomly assigned to a condition where they consumed alcoholic beverages (target blood alcohol concentrations of 0.06%-0.08%) or a condition where they consumed juice. Participants in both conditions then gambled on preprogrammed slot machines in a casino-themed room with four pop-up warning messages appearing twice each. After the gambling session, participants in both conditions completed a filler task followed by free recall and recognition assessments.

Results: Most participants (81%) recalled the gist, or the general idea, of the warning messages. However, participants in the alcohol condition underestimated the total number of messages they viewed to a significantly greater extent than those in the juice condition. Participants in the alcohol condition were also significantly less accurate in recognizing messages than participants in the juice condition. Participants in the juice condition were significantly more likely to recall the self-appraisal message than participants in the alcohol condition. There were no other significant differences in the recall of specific messages between conditions.

Conclusions: Individuals who are moderately intoxicated are just as likely as nonintoxicated individuals to understand the general idea of warning messages but may have greater difficulty recalling specific details within those messages. Those who are intoxicated may have difficulties engaging in self-appraisal, indicating that messages that are focused on the financial consequences of gambling may be more impactful.

饮酒对赌博警告信息回忆和识别的影响。

目的：了解急性饮酒对警示信息回忆和识别的影响。方法：参与者（n = 82）被随机分配到饮用酒精饮料（目标血液酒精浓度为0.06%-0.08%）或饮用果汁的条件。然后，两种情况下的参与者在一个以赌场为主题的房间里，在预先编程的老虎机上赌博，每个房间里会出现两次弹出的警告信息。赌博结束后，两种情况下的参与者都完成了填空任务，随后进行了自由回忆和识别评估。结果：大多数参与者（81%）回忆起了警告信息的要点或大意。然而，与果汁组相比，酒精组的参与者明显低估了他们看到的信息总数。酒精组的参与者在识别信息方面也明显低于果汁组的参与者。果汁组的参与者比酒精组的参与者更容易回忆起自我评价信息。在不同条件下，对特定信息的回忆没有其他显著差异。结论：适度醉酒的个体和未醉酒的个体一样可能理解警告信息的大意，但可能在回忆这些信息中的具体细节方面有更大的困难。那些醉酒的人可能难以进行自我评估，这表明专注于赌博的经济后果的信息可能更有影响力。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
