Attentional bias for alcohol cues increases craving and subsequent alcohol consumption.
Override processes can be used to disengage attention from alcohol cues. This
requires self-control and implies that depletion of self-control would impair the
ability to disengage attention from alcohol cues. This study examined the effect of
self-control on attentional bias among male heavy drinkers. To manipulate selfcontrol
resources, an expression control task was used. Attentional bias was measured
with a visual probe task. The Obsessive Compulsive Drinking Scale (OCDS;
Anton, Moak, & Latham, 1996) assessed the urge to drink and persistent thoughts
about alcohol. The results suggest that participants who scored relatively high on the
OCDS showed more attentional bias after controlled emotional expression, compared
to free emotional expression. (aut. ref.)
