The present study examined the hypothesized moderating role of anxiety sensitivity (AS) in the relationship between lifetime smoking history and posttraumatic stress symptoms among 64 traumatic event-exposed adolescents. As predicted, the relationship between smoking status and posttraumatic stress symptom levels was moderated by AS. Specific facets of AS also were examined. Disease concerns, but not unsteady, mental illness, or social concerns, moderated the association between smoking and symptom level. These findings are generally consistent with findings from adult samples, but importantly extend this area of research to another phase of the lifespan.
本研究调查了焦虑敏感性(AS)在64名经历过创伤事件的青少年终生吸烟史与创伤后应激症状之间关系中所假设的调节作用。正如预测的那样,吸烟状况与创伤后应激症状水平之间的关系受到AS的调节。研究还考察了AS的具体方面。对疾病的担忧而非不稳定、精神疾病或社交方面的担忧,调节了吸烟与症状水平之间的关联。这些发现总体上与成人样本的研究结果一致,但重要的是将这一研究领域扩展到了生命历程的另一个阶段。
