The present study investigated the relationship between panic disorder and emotional sensitivity processes related to smoking. Participants were 170 young adult (mean age = 25.2 [8.4]) regular smokers (mean cigarettes per day = 15.6 [2.4]) with (n = 69) and without (n = 101) a primary diagnosis of panic disorder. Consistent with prediction, smokers with panic disorder showed greater motivation to smoke in order to reduce negative affect (but not other reasons for smoking), reported anxiety symptoms but not non-anxiety symptoms as problematic obstacles to quitting during past (lifetime) quit attempts, and reported lower levels of confidence in remaining abstinent when emotionally distressed. Results are discussed in relation to panic-relevant emotional sensitivity processes involved with smoking.
本研究调查了恐慌症与吸烟相关的情绪敏感过程之间的关系。参与者为170名年轻成年人（平均年龄 = 25.2 [8.4]），均为规律吸烟者（平均每日吸烟量 = 15.6 [2.4]），其中69人有恐慌症的初步诊断，101人没有。与预测一致，患有恐慌症的吸烟者为减轻负面影响而吸烟的动机更强（而非其他吸烟原因），报告称焦虑症状而非非焦虑症状是过去（一生）戒烟尝试中妨碍戒烟的问题障碍，并且报告称在情绪困扰时保持戒烟的信心较低。研究结果结合与吸烟相关的与恐慌症相关的情绪敏感过程进行了讨论。
