Does the relationship between smoking motives and smoking urge experienced in response to a negative affect induction?
These findings indicate that (1) the association between NA and smoking is perhaps more complex than previously thought; and (2) merely two (Positive Reinforcement, Automaticity) of possibly thirteen smoking motives were identified as predictive of smoking urges. It is particularly surprising that other smoking motives (e.g., Negative Reinforcement) were not significant predictors of urge following the NA induction. Implications for relapse risk and treatment considerations among smokers experiencing elevated NA are considered.
The results support participation of MCs in the pathogenesis of AAA, particularly regarding neovascularization of aortic wall.
