Improvement and application of drug relapse risk scale with implicit attitude measurement

本研究以酒精依赖住院患者为研究对象，旨在考察出院后酒精重复使用与对酒精偏好的内隐态度之间的关系。在住院期间对受试者进行酒精-愉悦内隐联想测验和自评量表，包括酒精依赖的严重程度、酒精复发的风险、主观对酒精的渴望。在他们出院后大约两周内进行了一次跟踪调查，以衡量他们对酒精的再利用。结果表明，饮酒偏好的内隐态度与饮酒重复显著正相关。尽管控制了对酒精的主观渴望，但这种相关性仍然显著。其他自我评级变量与酒精重复使用没有显著相关性。这些结果表明，对酒精偏好的内隐态度可以预测他们的酒精重复使用。

The present research was executed with alcohol dependent inpatients in order to examine the association between alcohol reuse after discharge and implicit attitude to alcohol preference. During hospitalization, alcohol-pleasure Implicit Association Test and self-rating scales including severity of their alcohol dependence, relapse risk of alcohol, subjective craving for alcohol were administered to participants. A follow-up survey was executed within approximately two weeks after their discharging from hospital to measure their reuse of alcohol. As a result, implicit attitude to alcohol preference was significantly and positively correlated with their alcohol reuse. Although controlling the subjective craving for alcohol, this correlation remains significant. Other self-rating variables were not significantly correlated with alcohol reuse. These results implied that implicit attitude for alcohol preference could predict their alcohol reuse.
