Objective:Attentional bias is an important factor for inducing drug craving which can produce drug automatical seeking behavior.Additionally,attentional bias is closely linked with relapse behavior.A theoretical basis will be provided for the early identification of methamphetamine addiction through exploring the relationship between attentional bias and the degree of addiction for methamphetamine addicts(MA).Methods:Total 57 cases of MA participated the test of emotional word Stroop task,DSM- V diagnostic list,amphetamine withdrawal symptoms rating scale to analyze the attentional bias of methamphetamine- related words and emotional words.Results:The reaction time of naming color of methamphetamine- related words(743.57 ± 108.93 ms) was slower than both emotional words(706 ±93.69 ms) and neutral words(707.03 ±99.17 ms),which reached a significant level(P〈 0.05);there was no significant difference(P〉 0.05) between the emotional words and neutral words.The three subtypes of methamphetamine- related words did not produce a significant difference from each other(F=0.530,P〉0.05);There was no interaction between word categories and the severity degree of addiction(F = 0.160,P〉 0.05).Conclusion:The attentional bias to methamphetamine- related words exists in MA,however,the attentional bias,is not moderated by addiction severity in this study.
