“…The two alcohol studies by Amlung and colleagues (Amlung et al, 2012; Amlung & MacKillop, 2015) reported generally close correspondence between hypothetical and actual APT versions and correspondence between self‐reported consumption and actual drinking in the lab. However, the results for other substances (e.g., cigarettes; Wilson et al, 2016) or Internet use (Stinson et al, 2021) were less consistent. The other domains reviewed above suggest that raw consumption values and corresponding demand indices are comparable when researchers present prices in ascending versus randomized sequences.…”

“…Researchers have also examined correlations between real and hypothetical reinforcers with commodities other than psychoactive drugs. For instance, Stinson et al (2021) evaluated the similarities between self-reported consumption values and indices of demand on an Internet purchase task (IPT) and actual responses on a PR Internet-use task in 52 undergraduate smartphone users. To assess a more complex commodity such as the Internet, the IPT asked participants to purchase 30-s intervals of Internet use at a series of 15 prices.…”

This review sought to synthesize the literature on the reliability and validity of behavioral‐economic measures of demand and discounting in human research, introduce behavioral‐economic research methodologies for studying addictive behaviors, discuss gaps in the current literature, and review areas for future research. A total of 34 studies was included in this review. The discounting literature showed similar responding regardless of whether hypothetical or actual outcomes were used, though people tended to discount the outcome presented first more steeply, suggesting order effects. Although delay‐discounting measures seem to show temporal stability, exceptions were found for probability‐ and experiential‐discounting tasks. The demand literature also demonstrated similar responding regardless of outcome type; however, some demand indices showed exceptions. Randomized price sequences tended to show modest increases in Omax and α and modestly higher rates of inconsistent or nonsystematic responses compared with sequential price sequences. Demand indices generally showed temporal stability, although the stability was weaker the larger the time interval between test sessions. Future studies would benefit by examining addictive commodities beyond alcohol, nicotine, and money; examining temporal stability over longer time intervals; using larger delays in discounting tasks; and using larger sample sizes.

Contingency management is a well‐validated behavior change intervention; however, the financial incentives can prevent it from being widely adopted. Most Americans have a smartphone with applications (apps) that they find enjoyable and engage with for a considerable amount of time. A potential avenue for contingency management dissemination is a mobile smartphone application that leverages the existing reward value of smartphone apps as a tool for behavior change. The present study examined the acceptability of the Re‐Connect concept, which proposes to block nonessential but highly preferred apps and unlock them contingent on meeting the user's health goals. Out of the sample surveyed (N = 146), 63.02% reported that they would be likely to use Re‐Connect and 67.81% would recommend it to someone. Acceptability of Re‐Connect increased with greater user control. These results suggest that access to preferred smartphone apps could be a socially acceptable incentive in a contingency management intervention.
