Abstract Objective: To discuss the interventional effect of the attention bias modification (ABM) on those who are in the psychological withdrawal period of drug addiction. Methods: A total of 117 participants
who were in the drug withdrawal period from the compulsory detoxification center were selected and separated into two experiments. Experiment 1 (n=58) was to explore the influence of ABM on the attentional bias of drugrelated stimuli in drug abstainers. Experiment 2 (n=56) was to discuss whether the level of attentional bias of the participants inspired from the theoretical model and paradigm of stereotype would have the same inf uence after receiving different intervention stimuli. Results: Experiment 1 showed that there was marginal significant attentional bias in the pre-test (P=0.095) on participants who were in psychological drug withdrawal period, but there was no significant attentional bias in the post-test (P=0.153). In addition, a significant attentional bias was found in the pre-test (P=0.035), and there was marginal significant attentional bias in the post-test (P=0.096) in Experiment 2.Conclusion: The attentional bias modification training may decrease attentional bias for drug-related stimuli in the anticipated direction. ABM could alter attentional bias by increasing the activation of attention bias.
