Indeed, a large scale meta-analysis (Houben, Van Den Noortgate, & Kuppens, 2015) has shown that emotions that are more variable over time, that show more abrupt changes from one time point to the next and that are more self-predictive or inert CRAVING PREDICTS DRUG USE: A QUANTITATIVE META- over time are linked to poor psychological well-being and more psychopathology. ANALYSIS However, the nature and direction of this relationship is unclear. Therefore, the goal of this study was to obtain more insight into the reciprocal prospective relationships Hedy Kober, Rebecca G. Boswell between emotion dynamical patterns and psychopathological symptoms. We used Yale University data from 178 participants that participated in a multi-wave longitudinal study. First, Descriptors: craving, drug use, substance use disorders we examined concurrent relationships between patterns of emotional instability and inertia on the one hand, and depressive symptoms and borderline personality Craving – defined as “a strong desire” – has been a focus of both Eastern disorder (BPD) symptoms on the other hand. Next, we examined whether these and Western philosophies for centuries. Presently, craving is studied as a new emotion dynamical patterns could prospectively predict a change in symptoms one DSM5 diagnostic criterion for Substance Use Disorders (SUDs), which are the year later. The reverse direction was also explored. Results revealed that in line most prevalent, costly, and deadly form of psychopathology. Nevertheless, the with previous research, emotional inertia was mainly linked to depressive symptoms, exact role of craving in drug taking has been hotly debated, especially the role of and emotional instability was linked to BPD symptoms (ps < .01). Moreover, results cue-induced craving in response to drug-related cues (e.g., others drinking/smoking, showed that symptoms mainly predicted a change in dynamic patterns (ps < .05), paraphernalia). To resolve this, we conducted a meta-analysis assessing the but not the other way around, shedding light on the temporal sequence of influence prospective predictive effects of drug cue exposure and craving on drug use and between emotion dynamics and symptoms. relapse. Across >350 statistics, from >120 studies, representing >16,500 drug users, we found that drug craving, cue reactivity, and cue-induced craving significantly predicted drug use and relapse with a medium effect size. Subsequent analyses revealed that cue-induced craving predicted drug use measured immediately, as well as relapse up to 1 year later.

One hour prior to scans, women received either placebo or 20 mg cortisol Erin S. Sheets1, Michael F. Armey2 (CORT). Free recall for pictures was tested 2 days after each scan.
