Analyzing the Relationship Between Chronic and Occasional Alcohol Consumption Patterns and Their Association with Attentional Bias: An Eye-tracking Methodology
Our findings suggest that chronic alcohol users may not always display prominent attentional biases in a sober state. The prolonged abstinence duration (>2 months) contributed to the absence of significant biases in our study. The slightly longer scan path length for alcohol-related images among chronic users may indicate that they were possibly avoiding these images. The findings also highlight the need for a state-dependent approach and the importance of assessing variables like craving in future research.
