The current study investigated whether emotion dysregulation (difficulties in the self-regulation of affective states) mediated relationships between anxiety sensitivity (fear of anxiety and related sensations) and cognitive-based smoking processes. Participants (n = 197; 57.5% male; mean age = 38.0 years) were daily smokers recruited as part of a randomized control trial for smoking cessation. Anxiety sensitivity was uniquely associated with all smoking processes. Moreover, emotion dysregulation significantly mediated relationships between anxiety sensitivity and the smoking processes. Findings suggest that emotion dysregulation is an important construct to consider in relationships between anxiety sensitivity and cognitive-based smoking processes among adult treatment-seeking smokers.
本研究旨在探讨情绪调节障碍（情感状态自我调节困难）是否在焦虑敏感（对焦虑和相关感觉的恐惧）与基于认知的吸烟过程之间的关系中起中介作用。参与者（n=197；57.5%为男性；平均年龄=38.0 岁）是作为戒烟随机对照试验的一部分招募的每日吸烟者。焦虑敏感性与所有吸烟过程均呈独特相关。此外，情绪调节障碍显著中介了焦虑敏感性与吸烟过程之间的关系。研究结果表明，在寻求治疗的成年吸烟者中，情绪调节障碍是焦虑敏感性与基于认知的吸烟过程之间关系中一个重要的考虑因素。
