The impact of postquit WSWS Craving scores and their interactions with EOT group status, slide valence, and session on COR EMG was examined, with baseline COR EMG included as the covariate. A WSWS Craving × Slide Valence interaction for COR EMG, F(3, 985) = 3.25, p < .03 (see Figure 2), indicated that, postquit, the slope of COR EMG to unpleasant slides significantly increased (PE = 0.011, SE = 0.007) with every unit increase in WSWS Craving scale score, compared to pleasant (PE = −0.008, SE = 0.007; t(985) = 2.51, p < .01), neutral (PE = −0.009, SE = 0.007; t(985) = 2.66, p < .008), and cigarette-related slides (PE = −0.009, SE = 0.007; t(985) = 2.58, p < .01). There were no other significant main effects or interactions involving postquit WSWS Craving scores for COR EMG. These analyses suggest that increased postquit craving is associated with increased COR EMG responding to unpleasant slides.
