The present study evaluated the main and interactive effects of level of smoking (cigarettes per day) and anxiety sensitivity (fear of anxiety and anxiety related sensations) in predicting panic and anxiety variables in an epidemiologically-defined sample of smokers from Moscow (n=95). The combination of high levels of anxiety sensitivity and smoking predicted agoraphobic avoidance, but not frequency of panic attacks during the past week. These findings suggest anxiety sensitivity may moderate the relation between level of smoking and prototypical panic psychopathology variables (panic attacks and agoraphobic avoidance) even after controlling for the theoretically-relevant factors of alcohol abuse and negative affect.
本研究评估了吸烟水平（每天吸烟量）和焦虑敏感性（对焦虑及与焦虑相关感觉的恐惧）在预测来自莫斯科的一个符合流行病学定义的吸烟者样本（n = 95）的惊恐和焦虑变量方面的主要及交互作用。高焦虑敏感性与吸烟的组合可预测广场恐怖症回避，但不能预测过去一周内惊恐发作的频率。这些发现表明，即使在控制了酒精滥用和消极情绪等理论相关因素之后，焦虑敏感性可能仍会调节吸烟水平与典型惊恐心理病理学变量（惊恐发作和广场恐怖症回避）之间的关系。
