Abstract

The use of over-the-counter analgesics (OTCA) has been found to alter various aspects of emotional processing and has been linked to increased anxiety and depression symptoms. Attentional bias is an aspect of emotional processing that is closely related to anxiety and depression. Although OTCA and attentional bias have both been linked to anxiety and depression, the potential links between OTCA usage and attentional bias are not yet investigated. The present study aimed to determine whether the frequency of OTCA usage is associated with differences in attentional bias by comparing response-based measures of attentional bias in 62 women aged 19-30 years. The findings showed that the small group reporting high OTCA usage demonstrated more orientation avoidance to fearful stimuli than those reporting no or low usage. Based on these preliminary findings, further research on attentional bias and its relationship to high OTCA usage is recommended.

使用非处方镇痛药：与年轻女性的注意偏差有关。

研究发现，使用非处方止痛药（OTCA）会改变情绪处理的各个方面，并与焦虑和抑郁症状的增加有关。注意偏差是情绪处理的一个方面，与焦虑和抑郁密切相关。虽然 OTCA 和注意偏差都与焦虑和抑郁有关，但尚未研究 OTCA 的使用与注意偏差之间的潜在联系。本研究旨在通过比较 62 名 19-30 岁女性基于反应的注意力偏差测量方法，确定使用非处方药的频率是否与注意力偏差的差异有关。研究结果表明，与不使用或少使用 OTCA 的人群相比，使用 OTCA 频率高的人群对恐惧刺激表现出更多的定向回避。基于这些初步研究结果，建议进一步研究注意偏差及其与大量使用 OTCA 的关系。

期刊介绍： Behavioural Pharmacology accepts original full and short research reports in diverse areas ranging from ethopharmacology to the pharmacology of schedule-controlled operant behaviour, provided that their primary focus is behavioural. Suitable topics include drug, chemical and hormonal effects on behaviour, the neurochemical mechanisms under-lying behaviour, and behavioural methods for the study of drug action. Both animal and human studies are welcome; however, studies reporting neurochemical data should have a predominantly behavioural focus, and human studies should not consist exclusively of clinical trials or case reports. Preference is given to studies that demonstrate and develop the potential of behavioural methods, and to papers reporting findings of direct relevance to clinical problems. Papers making a significant theoretical contribution are particularly welcome and, where possible and merited, space is made available for authors to explore fully the theoretical implications of their findings. Reviews of an area of the literature or at an appropriate stage in the development of an author’s own work are welcome. Commentaries in areas of current interest are also considered for publication, as are Reviews and Commentaries in areas outside behavioural pharmacology, but of importance and interest to behavioural pharmacologists. Behavioural Pharmacology publishes frequent Special Issues on current hot topics. The editors welcome correspondence about whether a paper in preparation might be suitable for inclusion in a Special Issue.
