“…To familiarize participants with the task requirements, they are asked to complete a brief practice round involving empty rectangular frames in landscape or portrait format. The ApBM training procedures used in the beta version were based on existing effective programs (Wiers et al, 2011; Wiers et al, 2009), with adapted stimuli that were likely to be relevant and salient to Australian emerging adults (Onie et al, 2020). Six empty frames were used for the practice and 10 alcoholic and 10 nonalcoholic images that were matched for color and shape were shown for the training.…”

Background: Approach bias modification (ApBM) and interpretation bias modification (IBM) are two promising adjunct treatments for alcohol use and social anxiety, respectively. However, the acceptability of combining ApBM and IBM into one program for people who experience both of these disorders is unknown. The present study describes the codevelopment of a new, hybrid ApBM + IBM program and provides insight into the perceptions of acceptability from service providers and emerging adults. Methods: Service providers (n = 14) and emerging adults aged 18 to 25 years with lived experience of hazardous alcohol use and heightened social anxiety (n = 15) were recruited via online advertisements and through existing networks. All participants were shown a beta version of the program and asked to complete qualitative and quantitative questions to ascertain feedback on the program's acceptability and suggestions for improvement. Results: Themes emerged relating to the ApBM + IBM program's quality and usefulness, appropriateness, motivation and engagement, and potential clinical value. The program was well received and deemed acceptable for the target age group. It was rated particularly highly with regard to the overall quality and ease of use. Emerging adults had fewer suggestions for how the intervention might be revised; however, there were suggestions from both groups regarding the need for a compelling rationale at the outset of treatment and a suggestion to include a motivational interviewing and psychoeducational-based module prior to the first training session, to increase user buy-in and engagement. Conclusions: The current findings reflect positively on the acceptability of a hybrid ApBM + IBM for emerging adults with co-occurring hazardous alcohol use and social anxiety. Service providers and emerging adults identified a number of ways to improve the design and implementation of the program, which will likely improve adherence to, and outcomes of, the intervention when added as an adjunct to treatment as usual.

“…Furthermore, researchers should report stimulus validation procedures routinely. Where possible, researchers can make use of existing validated stimulus sets [44,66–69], and in situations where this is inappropriate (e.g. cultural differences in drinking preferences, brand familiarity) available guidelines (see [44]) should be utilized to develop new sets.…”

“…We encourage a focus upon improving the reliability of certain experimental paradigms, such as the VPT and addiction Stroop task [56,70], with a view to developing consensus guides outlining optimal task parameters (e.g. [67]). It is notable, however, that one study reports failed attempts to improve both the test‐retest and internal reliability of the VPT based upon empirical recommendations [61].…”

Raising the bar: improving methodological rigour in cognitive alcohol research

et al. 2021

Background and Aims A range of experimental paradigms claim to measure the cognitive processes underpinning alcohol use, suggesting that heightened attentional bias, greater approach tendencies and reduced cue‐specific inhibitory control are important drivers of consumption. This paper identifies methodological shortcomings within this broad domain of research and exemplifies them in studies focused specifically on alcohol‐related attentional bias. Argument and analysis We highlight five main methodological issues: (i) the use of inappropriately matched control stimuli; (ii) opacity of stimulus selection and validation procedures; (iii) a credence in noisy measures; (iv) a reliance on unreliable tasks; and (v) variability in design and analysis. This is evidenced through a review of alcohol‐related attentional bias (64 empirical articles, 68 tasks), which reveals the following: only 53% of tasks use appropriately matched control stimuli; as few as 38% report their stimulus selection and 19% their validation procedures; less than 28% used indices capable of disambiguating attentional processes; 22% assess reliability; and under 2% of studies were pre‐registered. Conclusions Well‐matched and validated experimental stimuli, the development of reliable cognitive tasks and explicit assessment of their psychometric properties, and careful consideration of behavioural indices and their analysis will improve the methodological rigour of cognitive alcohol research. Open science principles can facilitate replication and reproducibility in alcohol research.

“…Cognitive biases include different types of dimensions, however, such as optimism and overconfidence. With the advantage of quick, minimalist decision-making (Onie et al, 2019), more precise judgments occur due to the lack of resources to reference (Bosmans et al, 2019). In a rapidly changing environment, it is a challenging task for a rational decision-maker to take advantage of all available information and seize opportunities.…”

Although numerous studies have explored the factors influencing entrepreneurial activity, there is a lack of a theoretical basis for linking these factors to entrepreneurship behavioral intention. The current study uses the theory of self-regulating attitude to construct a theoretical model of examining the relationship among cognitive bias, entrepreneurial emotion, and entrepreneurship intention. A total of 312 valid samples were collected from college students at a Chinese university. The bootstrapping method was used to test the multi-mediation hypotheses. Our research found that positive entrepreneurial emotion plays a mediating role in the relationship between optimism and entrepreneurship intention, whereas negative entrepreneurial emotion plays a mediating role in the relationship between overconfidence and entrepreneurship intention. These findings underline the importance of a correct understanding of cognitive bias and entrepreneurial emotion in the process of entrepreneurship.
