3.3.1 Subjective effects
Participants reported significantly more negative affect (p< .001, η2 = .57) and lower craving scores
(p<.001, η2 =0.10), following the
presentation of negative emotional cues compared to neutral cues (see
Fig. 3A).. Furthermore, emotional cue induced craving was significantly
moderated by group (p < .01, η2 =
.10). More specifically, results demonstrated that emotional cues
significantly reduced craving in CUs (p < .01,
η2 = .19), but not in non-CUs. The other main and
interaction effects were not significant.
