“…Given that late attentional bias in IA was characterized by difficulty disengaging attention away from Internet-related information and sustained attentional allocation to Internet-related information, the results of the present study are consistent with the notion that IA symptoms include a preoccupation with Internet-related activities, thinking about previous Internet activities, and anticipating the next Internet use. The results of the present study are in accord with previously reported findings of an attentional bias for Internet-related information [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] and negative information [17,19] in IA and related conditions. Furthermore, individuals with substance addiction have also been found to exhibit attentional bias for substance-related information [6,45].…”

“…It has been proposed that sustained attentional processing of addiction-related information increases craving, leading to the development of addiction [7]. In IA, attentional bias for network logos [8] and a Wi-Fi logo [9] were observed. Individuals with internet gaming disorder (IGD) were found to exhibit attentional bias for a screen shot of online gaming [10], onlinegaming-related words [11], and images of a computer [12].…”

Internet addiction (IA) has been reported to be related to attentional bias for addiction-related information and emotional information. Although IA is likely to involve sleep impairment, no previous studies have examined the interaction between sleep impairment and attentional bias, and its relevance to IA. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between attentional bias for Internet-related information and emotional information and IA, and tested the moderating role of sleep impairment in the relationship between attentional bias and IA. A total of 71 university students participated in the study (48 females and 23 males; mean age: 20.1 years, standard deviation: 4.2 years). The participants underwent the visual-probe task for measuring attentional bias for Internet-related, negative, and positive information, and completed self-reported questionnaires regarding IA and sleep impairment. The results revealed that sleep impairment, attentional bias for negative information, and the interaction between sleep impairment and attentional bias for Internet-related information were significantly associated with IA. Simple slope analysis revealed that attentional bias for Internet-related information was associated with IA among individuals with severe sleep impairment. The results of the present study showed that IA involves attentional bias for Internet-related and negative information, while not exhibiting attentional bias for positive information. Moreover, the results indicated that the relationship between attentional bias for Internet-related information and IA was more pronounced in individuals with sleep impairment.

“…In terms of negative affect, Nie et al. (2020) combined the emotional priming paradigm and found that individuals with IGD showed significantly enhanced vMMN to online game cues under negative affect priming compared with neutral affect, whereas healthy individuals showed no difference, indicating a moderating effect of negative affect on the automatic detection bias in IGD. In the context of substance addiction, one study using a dot‐probe task found that negative affect would significantly enhance automatic attentional processing of alcohol‐related cues in individuals addicted to alcohol (Field & Powell, 2007; Field & Quigley, 2009).…”

“…It follows that the automatic detection bias of online game features in external cues is a fundamental part of the cognitive neural mechanism of IGD, which plays a very important role in the formation and maintenance of IGD (He et al., 2018; Nie et al., 2020). If interventions focused on this stage can be made, it should be possible to achieve impressive clinical treatment results.…”

Internet gaming disorder (IGD) has been classified by the DSM‐5 as a condition for further study, and many studies have shown that the occurrence and maintenance of IGD and the automatic detection bias to gaming cues of individuals with IGD may be significantly related. However, whether abstinence, a common intervention method in behavioral addiction, can adjust the automatic detection bias in individuals with IGD and its underlying neural mechanisms is unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of 7 days of abstinence from gaming on automatic detection bias, negative affect and craving in individuals with IGD with event‐related potential technology. A total of 50 IGD subjects were recruited in this study and randomly divided into abstinence and control groups. Visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) was induced using a standard‐deviant reversed oddball paradigm, and differences in automatic detection bias, negative affect, and craving between the two groups were recorded and compared at baseline, day 3, and day 7. The results showed that compared with baseline, vMMN, negative affect and craving were significantly enhanced on day 3 and significantly diminished on day 7 in the abstinence group but not in the control group, and the changes in vMMN were significantly correlated with changes in negative affect and craving in both groups. This study demonstrates that abstinence can restore automatic detection bias in individuals with IGD and that abstinence has to last for 7 days to have a significant effect, while recovery may be related to the negative affect and craving.
