Expectancies about nicotine's ability to alleviate negative mood states may play a role in the relationship between smoking and depression. The authors examined the role of negative affect regulation expectancies as a potential mediator of depression (history of depression and depressive symptoms) and smoking among college students.
As part of a larger study, 315 undergraduate smokers completed a 296-item survey from January to May of 2001 and 2002.
Cross-sectional analyses revealed that negative affect regulation expectancies fully mediated the positive relationship between depressive symptoms and level of smoking.
Although depressive symptoms are associated with higher levels of tobacco smoking, the expectation that smoking will reduce negative emotions is 1 factor that accounts for this relationship.
对尼古丁缓解负面情绪状态能力的预期可能在吸烟与抑郁的关系中起作用。作者研究了消极情绪调节预期作为大学生抑郁（抑郁病史和抑郁症状）与吸烟之间潜在中介因素的作用。
作为一项更大规模研究的一部分，315名本科吸烟者在2001年1月至5月以及2002年完成了一项包含296个项目的调查。
横断面分析显示，消极情绪调节预期完全中介了抑郁症状与吸烟水平之间的正相关关系。
尽管抑郁症状与更高的吸烟水平相关，但认为吸烟会减轻负面情绪的预期是解释这种关系的一个因素。
