Although anxiety symptoms/disorders are consistently implicated in smoking processes, no empirical work has identified individual difference factors that may underlie such relations among Latinx smokers. The current study examined anxiety sensitivity as an explanatory factor underlying the relationship between anxiety symptoms and smoking expectancies among Spanish-speaking Latinx smokers. Participants included 363 Spanish-speaking Latinx daily smokers (58.7% female, 33.3 years, = 9.81). Results indicated that anxiety symptoms had a significant indirect effect on positive and negative smoking expectancies through anxiety sensitivity. Such findings suggest that anxiety sensitivity is relevant to understanding the anxiety-smoking expectancies association among Latinx smokers.
尽管焦虑症状/障碍一直与吸烟过程有关,但没有实证研究确定可能在拉丁裔吸烟者的这些关系中起作用的个体差异因素。本研究考察了焦虑敏感性作为焦虑症状与西班牙语裔拉丁裔吸烟者吸烟期望之间关系的解释因素。参与者包括 363 名讲西班牙语的拉丁裔每日吸烟者(58.7%为女性,33.3 岁,=9.81)。结果表明,焦虑症状通过焦虑敏感性对积极和消极的吸烟期望有显著的间接影响。这些发现表明,焦虑敏感性与理解拉丁裔吸烟者中焦虑与吸烟期望的关联有关。
