  • Title: Trauma exposure and cigarette smoking: the impact of negative affect and affect-regulatory smoking motives.
    Author: Farris SG, Zvolensky MJ, Beckham JC, Vujanovic AA, Schmidt NB.
    Journal: J Addict Dis; 2014; 33(4):354-65. PubMed ID: 25299617.
    Abstract:
    Cognitive-affective mechanisms related to the maintenance of smoking among trauma-exposed individuals are largely unknown. Cross-sectional data from trauma-exposed treatment-seeking smokers (n = 283) were utilized to test a series of multiple mediator models of trauma exposure and smoking, as mediated by the sequential effects of negative affect and affect-modulation smoking motives. The sequential effects of both mediators indirectly predicted the effect of greater trauma exposure types on nicotine dependence, a biochemical index of smoking, perceived barriers to smoking cessation, and greater withdrawal-related problems during past quit attempts. Negative affect and affect-modulation motives for smoking may contribute to the trauma-smoking association.
