There is substantial empirical evidence that negative mood triggers smoking behavior, and less support for the similar effect of positive mood. However, the relationship between the intensity of mood and smoking remains relatively under-researched.
The present study explored the association between mood intensity and smoking behavior.
Seventy-three ad libitum smokers recorded their mood and concurrent number of smoked cigarettes three times daily for one week using electronic diary application. Real time assessment in natural environment enabled greater reliability, validity and generalizability of the collected data.
We analyzed results using within-subjects approach and obtained significant growth trend in smoking behavior that concurred with the increase of mood intensity-smokers tended to increase their consumption of cigarettes when they were feeling either happy or sad in comparison to the situation when they were in neutral mood.
These findings raise implications regarding the role of mood intensity in initiating smoking behavior.
有大量实证证据表明负面情绪会引发吸烟行为，而对于正面情绪有类似影响的支持则较少。然而，情绪强度与吸烟之间的关系仍相对缺乏研究。
本研究探讨情绪强度与吸烟行为之间的关联。
73名随意吸烟者使用电子日记应用程序，连续一周每天三次记录他们的情绪以及同时期吸烟的数量。在自然环境中的实时评估使所收集数据具有更高的可靠性、有效性和普遍性。
我们采用受试者内方法分析结果，发现吸烟行为呈现出显著的增长趋势，这与情绪强度的增加相一致——与处于中性情绪状态相比，吸烟者在感到高兴或悲伤时往往会增加香烟消费量。
这些发现对情绪强度在引发吸烟行为中的作用具有启示意义。
