Relationships between average arousal rating of cigarette packets and average k-value in the monetary choice delay discounting task for Tradition Health Warning (left) and COVID-19 Health Warning (right). Higher values on delay discounting reflect preference for smaller short-term reward. Error bands reflect standard error. Correlation coefficients are presented for each group. The difference between immediate and delayed reward can be divided into small (eg, £3), medium (eg, £12), and large (eg, £28) amounts. The relationship between delay discounting and arousal ratings was consistently significant across small, medium, and large value differences, in the C19HW group (p < .01); rsmall: –.35; rmedium: –.25; rlarge = –.26. Whilst in the THW group the effect was consistently non-significant (p > .136), rsmall: .08; rmedium= .07; rlarge = .14.
