부정정서가 흡연자의 정서경험 수준에 따라 흡연 주의편향 및 갈망에 미치는 영향

초록

This study aimed to examine the effect of smoker's affect intensity on explicit/implicit smoking craving after experiencing negative emotion. Male university students (n=403) were divided into high and low affect intensity group by affect intensity score. Among them, smokers (n=61) were selected as participants and were randomly assigned to either negative or neutral emotion induction group. As a baseline, subjective emotional state and explicit smoking craving were measured. Variation of subjective emotional state, explicit smoking craving, eye movements to smoking-related cues and control cues were recorded after viewing films eliciting either negative or neutral emotion. After watching films, negative emotion induction group showed higher level of explicit smoking craving than neutral emotion induction group. In negative emotion induction group, high affect intensity group showed more attentional bias to smoking related cues than low affect intensity group did. It shows that implicit smoking craving of smokers with high affect intensity was increased by negative emotion. Thus, smokers with high affect intensity has strong motivation to avoid negative emotion by their smoking behavior.
