This study explored relationships between the sensation-seeking trait and the development of emotional symptomatology during smoking cessation with nicotine transdermal patches. Twenty-five subjects were evaluated before they stopped smoking, on Day 8, Day 30, Day 90, and Day 120. Initial motives for smoking and the sensation-seeking personality trait were tested as possible predictors for the development of specific mood disturbances. Our subjects scored very high on sensation seeking, consistent with previous results on smokers. This may also be due to the well-known tendency of high sensation-seekers to be willing to try new experiences. The sensation-seeking trait did not predict the issue of cessation. However, it was related to emotional deficit (anhedonia, affective blunting), tiredness, and a lack of energy, before and during smoking cessation. Two different interpretations of emotional deficit are proposed.
本研究探讨了寻求刺激特质与使用尼古丁透皮贴剂戒烟期间情绪症状发展之间的关系。25名受试者在戒烟前、第8天、第30天、第90天和第120天接受了评估。吸烟的初始动机和寻求刺激的人格特质被作为特定情绪障碍发展的可能预测因素进行了测试。我们的受试者在寻求刺激方面得分非常高，这与之前对吸烟者的研究结果一致。这也可能是由于众所周知的高寻求刺激者愿意尝试新体验的倾向。寻求刺激特质并不能预测戒烟问题。然而，在戒烟前和戒烟期间，它与情绪缺陷（快感缺失、情感迟钝）、疲劳和缺乏精力有关。针对情绪缺陷提出了两种不同的解释。
