| Abstract: | Fifteen HIT cards were administered to 12 Ss before and after paired placebo and alcohol intravenous infusions in a Latin-square cross-over design. Separate sets of cards were used for placebo and alcohol infusions with cards from the A form administered before and the counterpart cards from the B form after each infusion. A significant increase in score in color was noted with the low level of intoxication as compared with placebo infusion. There were no significant differences between placebo and alcohol infusion on other HIT variables. Collateral data from previous alcohol intoxication experiments and other HIT studies suggest that the increase in color may be related to change in affect which accompanies the intoxication. |
