Research has shown a beneficial influence of partner support on smoking cessation. Previous studies mainly focused on support and neglected negative behaviors. Less is known about differences in support perceptions between partners. This study aimed to examine how supportive as well as negative control behaviors relate to smoking and relationship satisfaction in single-smoking couples during a quit attempt.
Smokers and their nonsmoking partners (n = 170 cohabiting couples) participated in an intensive longitudinal study over 21 days with end-of-day diaries. A dyadic score model was used, emphasizing couple levels and differences for the explanatory variables (i.e., support and negative control) and the outcome variables (smoking [for smokers only]; relationship satisfaction).
Smokers whose partner showed more supportive and less negative control behavior had a lower probability of smoking, and both partners had higher relationship satisfaction. On days with more supportive and less negative control behavior than usual, smokers had a lower probability of smoking and both partners had higher relationship satisfaction. For smokers who reported more support than their partner reported providing, the couples' relationship satisfaction was higher and the smokers' relationship satisfaction was higher than their partners'. Differences between received and provided support/control at the between-couple and daily level were unrelated to smoking.
Support seems important during a quit attempt as it was related to a lower probability of smoking and higher relationship satisfaction in couples, while negative control behaviors should be avoided as they were associated with higher probability of smoking and lower relationship satisfaction.

研究表明,伴侣的支持对戒烟有积极影响。以前的研究主要关注支持,而忽略了消极行为。关于伴侣对支持的感知差异,人们知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨在戒烟尝试期间,单身吸烟夫妇中,支持性行为和消极控制行为如何与吸烟和关系满意度相关。
吸烟者及其不吸烟的伴侣(n = 170 对同居夫妇)参与了一项为期 21 天的密集纵向研究,每天结束时填写日记。使用了一种对偶评分模型,强调了解释变量(即支持和消极控制行为)和结果变量(吸烟[仅适用于吸烟者];关系满意度)的夫妻水平和差异。
伴侣表现出更多支持和更少消极控制行为的吸烟者吸烟的可能性较低,并且双方的关系满意度都较高。在伴侣表现出更多支持和更少消极控制行为的日子里,吸烟者吸烟的可能性较低,双方的关系满意度都较高。对于报告得到的支持比伴侣报告的提供的支持多的吸烟者,夫妻关系满意度较高,吸烟者的关系满意度也高于其伴侣。在夫妻之间和每天的水平上,收到的支持/控制与提供的支持/控制之间的差异与吸烟无关。
支持在戒烟尝试期间似乎很重要,因为它与夫妻中较低的吸烟概率和较高的关系满意度相关,而消极控制行为应避免,因为它们与较高的吸烟概率和较低的关系满意度相关。
