调节焦点理论（RFT; Higgins，1997）可能有助于解决戒烟动机问题。RFT表明，个体可能会被激励去接近期望的最终状态（例如，改善的肺活量）和/或避免不希望的最终状态（例如，病）。这些动机被称为促进重点，其中人们试图实现其愿望，预防重点，其中人们被激励履行责任。根据RFT的说法，与个人监管重点相匹配的吸烟相关信息应该比那些不匹配的信息更有效。目前的研究试图在吸烟者的样本中启动促进和预防焦点，以确定启动是否会影响吸烟相关叙述的记忆。我们预计，在促进重点条件下的参与者将优于那些在预防重点条件下的回忆反映的方法策略的材料，而那些在预防重点条件下的分数会更好地回忆描绘回避的小插曲。这一假设没有得到支持。然而，有一个显着的互动参与者之间的回忆描绘吸烟与弃权和方法与避免策略的小插曲，这样的参与者回忆吸烟小插曲更好的描述时，人的目标是吸烟，以避免一个不希望的状态和回忆更好的目标是接近一个理想的状态时，弃权的小插曲。进一步研究如何调节焦点理论可能适用于成年吸烟者是必要的。
Regulatory focus theory (RFT; Higgins, 1997) may help to address the issue of motivation in cigarette smoking cessation. RFT suggests that individuals may be motivated to approach desired end-states (e.g., improved lung capacity) and/or avoid undesired end-states (e.g., illness). These motivations are referred to as promotion focus, in which people attempt to achieve their aspirations, and prevention focus, in which people are motivated to live up to responsibilities. According to RFT, smoking-related messages framed to match an individual's regulatory focus should be more effective than those that do not match. The current study attempted to prime promotion and prevention focus in a sample of cigarette smokers, to determine if priming impacts memory for smoking-related narratives. We expected that participants in the promotion-focus condition would outperform those in the prevention-focus condition on recall of materials reflecting approach strategies, whereas those in the prevention-focus condition would score better on recall of vignettes depicting avoidance. This hypothesis was not supported. There was, however, a significant interaction between participants' recall of vignettes depicting smoking vs. abstaining and approach vs. avoidance strategies, such that participants recalled smoking vignettes better when the described-person's goal was smoking to avoid an undesired state and recalled abstaining vignettes better when the target's goal was to approach a desired state. Further research into how regulatory focus theory may apply to adult cigarette smokers is warranted.
