This study describes a new database of alcohol-related pictures:
The Geneva Appetitive Alcohol Pictures (GAAP). 60 alcohol-
related pictures (beverages, drinking-related behaviors,
alcohol-related cues) were presented to 101 participants
(ranging from social drinkers to problem drinkers),
who assessed them according to the classic emotional pictures
validation provided by the International Affective Picture
System (Center for the Study of Emotion and Attention
(CSEA - NIMH), 2002). Participants were also screened with
the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Normative ratings
for valence, arousal and dominance of the pictures are
provided separately for problem/risky users (n = 49) and
non-risky drinkers (n = 52). The GAAP is a normative database
that provides a large number of stimuli for investigators who
conduct research on alcohol.
