Effects Of Warning Pictures On Heroin Abstinent's Implicit Attitude Towards Drugs

In studies related to addiction,studies have found that the positive implicit attitude toward the substance will increase the use of the individual to the substance,while the negative implicit attitude bias leads to the avoidance behavior of the individual.The implicit attitude of the individual to the addictive substance can predict the relapse and addiction behavior.The corresponding interventions can make individuals' implicit attitudes preferences change.Therefore,it is of great significance to study the implicit attitude of addicts toward the addictive substance and try to in their implicit attitudes to reduce relapse and addiction behaviors.The experimental group was heroin abstinents,and the control group was non drug addicts.Two groups were matched in age and education level.The purpose of the Single Category Implicit Association Test(SC-IAT)is to examine and verify the implicit attitude preference of heroin abstinents to drugs,and to explore whether the drug-related warning pictures can reduce the implicit attitude towards drugs and which types of warning pictures are better.The results of the study are as follows:(1)Experiment 1: heroin abusers' D score of drug implicit association test is more than 0,and the D score of the narcotic test in the normal group is less than 0.(2)Experiment 2: after watching the warning pictures of two classes of disease class and abstract class,the mean value of the implicit association D scores of heroin abstinence group decreased,but there was no significant difference.the normal subjects after watching the abstract class pictures,the D scores of the Implicit Association of drugs were significantly reduced.Therefore,this study draws the following conclusions:(1)Heroin abstinents addicts' implicit attitude preference is positive and positive.Compared with normal individuals,they tend to associate drugs with positive and cheerful words;the implicit attitude preference of normal individuals is negative and negative.They tend to associate drugs with negative and bad words more easily.(2)Diseases and abstract images have no significant warning effects on heroin abstainers' drug attitudes,but abstract images have a significant warning effect on normal individuals.Therefore,in the drug abstinence propaganda,we can increase theuse of warning pictures related to abstract drugs and reduce the likelihood of normal individuals becoming exposed to drugs or drug-taking behavior.
