Rationale

Reduced inhibitory control is more pronounced during substance-related cue exposure among addicts. However, it is inconclusive whether smokers' inhibitory control would be impaired by smoking-related background. Furthermore, few studies explored whether the cigarette-specific disgust aroused by smoking warning images would alleviate the negative effect of smoking-related cues on smokers' inhibitory control.

Objective

Experiment 1 investigated the effect of smoking-related background on inhibitory control in cigarette smokers with a modified Go/NoGo task and experiment 2 explored whether cigarette-specific disgust aroused by smoking warning images would alleviate the negative effect of smoking-related background on smokers’ inhibitory control.

Method

Sixty-two male participants (32 smokers and 30 non-smokers) were recruited in experiment 1 and 51 male smokers were recruited in experiment 2.

Results

Experiment 1 found that compared to neutral background, smokers made more commission errors (i.e., executing a response to a no-go target) under smoking-related background, indicating that smoking-related background has a negative effect on smokers’ inhibitory control. Experiment 2 found that after experiencing cigarette-specific disgust, smokers made fewer commission errors at post-mood induction than pre-mood induction, indicating that cigarette-specific disgust aroused by smoking warning images alleviates the negative effect of smoking-related background on smokers’ inhibitory control.

Conclusions

These results suggest that the negative effect of smoking-related cues on smokers’ inhibitory control would be alleviated by cigarette-specific disgust aroused by smoking warning images, which emphasizes the important role of cigarette-specific disgust in strengthening smokers’ inhibitory control towards smoking-related cues.

在Go/NoGo任务中，吸烟警告图像引起的香烟特有的厌恶感增强了吸烟者在吸烟相关背景下的抑制控制

基本原理

在成瘾者中与物质相关的线索暴露期间，抑制控制的减少更为明显。然而，吸烟相关背景是否会损害吸烟者的抑制控制尚无定论。此外，很少有研究探讨吸烟警告图像引起的香烟特有的厌恶感是否会减轻吸烟相关线索对吸烟者抑制控制的负面影响。

客观的

实验 1 通过修改后的 Go/NoGo 任务研究吸烟相关背景对吸烟者抑制控制的影响，实验 2 探讨吸烟警告图像引起的香烟特定厌恶是否会减轻吸烟相关背景对吸烟者的负面影响抑制控制。

方法

在实验 1 中招募了 62 名男性参与者（32 名吸烟者和 30 名非吸烟者），在实验 2 中招募了 51 名男性吸烟者。

结果

实验1发现，与中性背景相比，吸烟者在吸烟相关背景下犯下更多的委托错误（即对不走的目标做出反应），表明吸烟相关背景对吸烟者的抑制控制有负面影响。实验 2 发现吸烟者在经历特定卷烟厌恶后，在情绪诱导后犯错的次数少于情绪诱导前，说明吸烟警告图像引起的特定卷烟厌恶减轻了吸烟相关背景对吸烟者的负面影响。抑制控制。

结论

这些结果表明吸烟相关线索对吸烟者抑制控制的负面影响将通过吸烟警告图像引起的特定卷烟厌恶得到缓解，这强调了特定卷烟厌恶在加强吸烟者对吸烟的抑制控制中的重要作用。相关线索。
