Alcohol-ROC-Training

"Participants will be trained in using the MBT-based mindfulness strategy as described above (notice craving and accept the feeling without judgment or reaction). Participants will then be instructed to think of accepting and non-reactive responses when they see the instruction ACCEPT during ROC-T. On each trial, participants will receive an instruction and then be exposed to a novel alcohol image for 6 seconds. On 25% of the trials, they will see the LOOK instruction, and be allowed to experience craving (as baseline). On 75% of the trials, participants will see ACCEPT and then practice thinking about the negative consequences of drinking. After the picture disappears, they will rate their craving on every trial using a 1-5 Likert scale."
