“…Bio-informational theory also recommends stimulus response training (SR-training; Lang et al, 1980) as a technique to assist participants in their recollection of these propositions to aid the ease and vividness of imagery generation. Participants verbally recall as many of the propositions as they can remember from previously physically performing or imaging a particular scenario.…”

Imagery studies have varied widely in the methods used to deliver guided imagery interventions. This variation has led to difficulties comparing studies and uncertainty as to what methods should be followed. A review is needed to evaluate the interventions to date to inform applied recommendations. The aim of this systematic review was to (1) assess the quality of intervention design, (2) investigate the extent to which interventions vary, (3) highlight the different methods that should be considered in the design and implementation of future interventions, and (4) investigate adherence to some of the current theories and models of imagery use. A total of 20 interventions administered between the years 2001 and 2011 were compared over 17 main areas, including imagery ability, duration, script development, delivery method, and adherence to the PETTLEP model and the bio-informational theory. The results of this review found evidence of many inconsistencies between interventions and demonstrate a need for more comprehensive practical guidelines. Recommend-ations are offered for the design of future interventions, including increasing imagery practice time and the use of personalised imagery scripts. Numerous questions are raised to strengthen and direct future research such as the need for continued modification of scripts throughout an intervention.

“…Further, Vastfjall and Slovic (2013) add to the discussion of anticipatory emotions by highlighting that mental imagery is an important aspect of their presence and activation. Some emotions are more easily imaged than others and mental imagery is often accompanied by electrodermal and visceral responses, which help bring about anticipatory reactions (Gollnisch & Averill, 1993;Haney & Euse, 1976;Lang, Kozak, Miller, Levin, & McLean, 1980). Mental imagery can therefore be seen as an important determinant of anticipatory emotions.…”

How Emotions Enter into Decision Making: A Novel Categorization of Types of Emotions

Research in how emotions impact decision making is growing and the corresponding literature is often organized around types of emotions. These types can be thought of as labels that categorize how emotions enter into decision making. Examples include "expected", "integral", or "incidental" emotions. Taking a closer look at several of these categorizations however, one is confronted with discord and a considerable number of inconsistencies in naming conventions, definitions, scope of the categorizations, as well as a lack of clear approach to how emotions might enter into decision making. Given the ubiquity of these categorizations, in this paper, we conduct a review of types of emotions, we address some of the inconsistencies, and we present a new way of categorizing how emotions enter into decision making -one where emotions are categorized in relation to the decision and affective components of the decision making process.We discuss how this new categorization deals with the identified inconsistencies and ways in which it can be conducive to developing novel theoretical and empirical investigations in how emotions impact decision making. How Emotions Enter into Decision Making: A Novel Categorization of Types of EmotionsEmotions have an undeniable impact on judgment and decision making (JDM). It has been shown that emotions can, dependent on the decision situation, lead both to suboptimal (e.g., Ariely & Loewenstein, 2006;De Martino, Kumaran, Seymour, & Dolan, 2006;Mikels, Cheung, Cone, & Gilovich, 2013;Ratner & Herbst, 2005) and superior (e.g., Bechara, 1997;Koenigs & Tranel, 2008;Mikels et al., 2010;Shiv, Loewenstein, Bechara, Damasio, & Damasio, 2005) decisions. Furthermore, interest in emotions and the impact that they have on JDM has been on the rise. Lerner, Li, Valdesolo, and Kassam (2015, supplemental material), for instance, found that the yearly output of published papers on this topic increased by an order of magnitude from 2001 to 2013.Most researchers in this domain seem to agree that there are several ways in which emotions can enter into decision-making. As a result, distinctions have been made between different types of emotions (e.g., integral, incidental, expected, immediate, etc.) which categorize the ways emotions can enter into JDM. Nearly every major review of the emotion and JDM literature highlights types of emotions and theoretical frameworks are often-times distinguished dependent on the type of emotion they focus on. For example, the "appraisal tendency framework" (Lerner & Keltner, 2001) focuses on incidental emotions while "decision affect theory" (Mellers, Schwartz, Ho, & Ritov, 1997) focuses on anticipated emotions. Types of emotions are also referenced in empirical research. For example, attempts to reach a better understanding of the mechanisms of the emotional impact on decision making have incorporated different types of emotions into complex mediation models (Charpentier, De Neve, Li, Roiser, & Sharot, 2016;DeWall, Baumeister, Chester, & Bushman, 2016) and coherent ...

Context Alcoholism is a chronic, relapsing illness in which stress and alcohol cues contribute significantly to relapse risk. Dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, increased anxiety, and high alcohol craving have been documented during early alcohol recovery, but their influence on relapse risk has not been well studied. Objectives To investigate these responses in treatment-engaged, 1-month-abstinent, recovering alcohol-dependent patients relative to matched controls (study 1) and to assess whether HPA axis function, anxiety, and craving responses are predictive of subsequent alcohol relapse and treatment outcome (study 2). Design Experimental exposure to stress, alcohol cues, and neutral, relaxing context to provoke alcohol craving, anxiety, and HPA axis responses (corticotropin and cortisol levels and cortisol to corticotropin ratio) and a prospective 90-day follow-up outcome design to assess alcohol relapse and aftercare treatment outcomes. Setting Inpatient treatment in a community mental health center and hospital-based research unit. Participants Treatment-engaged alcohol-dependent individuals and healthy controls. Main Outcome Measures Time to alcohol relapse and to heavy drinking relapse. Results Significant HPA axis dysregulation, marked by higher basal corticotropin level and lack of stress- and cue-induced corticotropin and cortisol responses, higher anxiety, and greater stress- and cue-induced alcohol craving, was seen in the alcohol-dependent patients vs the control group. Stress- and cue-induced anxiety and stress-induced alcohol craving were associated with fewer days in aftercare alcohol treatment. High provoked alcohol craving to both stress and to cues and greater neutral, relaxed-state cortisol to corticotropin ratio (adrenal sensitivity) were each predictive of shorter time to alcohol relapse. Conclusions These results identify a significant effect of high adrenal sensitivity, anxiety, and increased stress- and cue-induced alcohol craving on subsequent alcohol relapse and treatment outcomes. Findings suggest that new treatments that decrease adrenal sensitivity, stress- and cue-induced alcohol craving, and anxiety could be beneficial in improving alcohol relapse outcomes.
