Baseline adjusted mean and SE for subjective anxiety ratings during the stress, drug cue and neutral conditions (averaged across time points in each condition). (3a) Significantly higher anxiety ratings were observed in the stress (p<0.0001) and drug cue (p<0.0001) relative to the neutral and in the stress relative to cue (p<0.001) conditions. A significant Group X Condition effect (p<0.0001) was observed with both HC and SD groups showing higher stress-related anxiety relative to neutral condition (p’s<0.001), but significantly higher anxiety during drug cue exposure in the SD and not in the HC group (p<0.0004). In cue relative to neutral, anxiety level was significantly increased in SD group (p<0.001) but not in the HC group (p=0.582).
(3b). A significant Diplotype X Condition effect (p=0.0065) was observed with greater anxiety ratings in the stress (HH: p<0.0001; HLLL: p<.07) and in cue (HH: p<0.0004; HLLL: p<.007) versus to the neutral conditions, but the HH individuals showed significantly higher stress-related anxiety than the HLLL individuals (p<0.03), and no differences between diplotypes in the neutral and cue conditions.
