Previous research indicates that use of cognitive coping strategies in high risk situations is positively correlated with smoking cessation maintenance. Basic research on self-control of unwanted thoughts, however, suggests that mental coping efforts involving thought suppression should be ineffective. We evaluated this possibility by rescoring the articulated thoughts transcripts of 95 subjects from a one-year prospective study of smoking relapse (Haaga, 1989). Frequent use of cognitive coping tactics for reframing high risk situations (e.g. reminding oneself of negative consequences of smoking) predicted greater likelihood of continuous abstinence in the following three months (49 per cent success for those above the sample median, 20 per cent for those below the median). This effect was marginally significant at a 12-month follow-up. By contrast, thought suppression showed no association with maintenance of non-smoking. Discussion focused on complications in applying laboratory research on thought suppression and on reanalysis of cognitive assessment protocols.
先前的研究表明，在高风险情境中使用认知应对策略与戒烟维持呈正相关。然而，关于对 unwanted thoughts的自我控制的基础研究表明，涉及思想抑制的心理应对努力应该是无效的。我们通过对一项为期一年的吸烟复发前瞻性研究（哈加，1989年）中95名受试者的清晰思维记录进行重新评分，评估了这种可能性。频繁使用认知应对策略来重构高风险情境（例如提醒自己吸烟的负面后果）预示着在接下来的三个月中持续戒烟的可能性更大（样本中位数以上的人成功率为49%，中位数以下的人为20%）。在12个月的随访中，这种效果略微显著。相比之下，思想抑制与保持不吸烟没有关联。讨论集中在将实验室关于思想抑制的研究应用于实际中的复杂性以及对认知评估协议的重新分析上。
