여성 메스암페타민 중독자의 약물 단서에 대한 주의편향 = Attention Bias Toward Drug Cues in Female Methamphetamine Addicts

국문 초록 (Abstract)

중독자들은 물질이나 행동과 같은 중독-관련 단서에 주의를 더 기울인다. 그리고 이러한 단서들에 증가된 주의는 갈망과 관련이 있다. 국내 마약류 사범 중 가장 많이 남용되고 있는 마약류는 메스암페타민이며, 재범률은 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 최근 3년 동안 전체 마약류 사범 중 여성의 비율은 21.1%이나, 여성 마약류 사범에 대한 연구의 부족으로 관련 정책과 심리치료 프로그램 개발을 위한 기초 자료는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구의 목적은 여성 메스암페타 민 중독자들을 대상으로 약물 단서에 대한 주의편향이 나타나는지를 확인하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 교정기관에 수용 중인 여성 메스암페타민 중독자(중독 집단) 22명과 약물과 관련한 문제가 없는 정상인(통제 집단) 22명을 대상으로 탐침 탐사 과제를 수행하였다. 이 과제를 통해 약물 단서와 중성 단서 위치에 따른 정반응률 및 정반응시간을 산출하였다. 그 결과, 통제 집단은 정반응률과 정반응시간 모두에서 약물 단서와 중성 단서 간의 차이가 없었으나, 중독 집단은 중성 단서에 비해 약물 단서에서 더 낮은 반응률과 더 느린 반응시간을 보였다. 이러한 본 연구의 결과는 마약류로부터 단절된 여성 메스암페타민 중독자들의 약물 단서에 대한 주의편향 특성을 규명하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

Addicts pay more attention to addiction-related cues, such as substance or behavior. And increased attention to these cues is associated with craving. Methamphetamine is the most abused drug among domestic drug offenders, with continually increasing rates of recidivism. Of the total number of reported drug offenders in the last three years, 21.1 percent have been women. Even so, research on female drug offenders is inadequate, rendering policies and fundamental data for the development of psychotherapy programs insufficient. The present study intended to investigate whether female methamphetamine addicts displayed an attention bias towards drug cues. A dot probe task was conducted on 22 female methamphetamine addicts (addiction group) and 22 non-addicts (control group). The task allowed the correct response rates and correct reaction times of the participants to be calculated according to the positioning of the drug and neutral cues. The analysis results revealed that the control group displayed no difference in correct reaction rates and correct reaction times between the drug or neutral cues. While, the addiction group showed lower correct response rate and slower response time for drug cues in comparison to neutral cues. The results of this study are significant in that it identified the attention bias characteristics toward drug cues of female methamphetamine addicts who were disconnected from drugs.
