Note. The Alcohol Approach IAT is based on Ostafin and Palfai (2006). The Alcohol Cope and Alcohol Excitement IATs were modifications of IATs used in Lindgren et al. (2011). All stimuli are available from the first author upon request. Personalized IATs (Alcohol Approach, Alcohol Excitement, and Alcohol Cope) displayed 15 pictures, of which participants were instructed to choose 4.

In the BIAT, the second target is left unlabeled. Participants are instructed to press a specific key for any words other than those belonging to the labeled categories.
