青春期过早使用烟草与以后生活中的许多不良后果有关。尽管许多研究将情感功能的个体差异与青少年吸烟联系起来，但这些研究主要依赖于自我报告措施，并且不同维度的情感对这一时期吸烟的影响仍不清楚。目前的研究对 180 名青少年进行了调查，这些青少年是从一项正在进行的前瞻性、纵向情绪发展研究中招募的。大约 12 岁时，参与者完成了一份情感气质问卷测量，并参加了一项家庭互动任务，该任务通过观察编码来测量烦躁、攻击性和积极行为。在初次评估后约 2.5 年和 4 年进行的 2 次后续评估中，参与者完成了物质使用问卷调查。总共有 70 名参与者在 12 岁至 17 岁之间开始吸烟。在互动任务中观察到的更具攻击性和不太积极的行为，以及自我报告的情绪努力控制水平较低，可以预测较早开始吸烟。烦躁行为、消极情绪或手术的气质测量与吸烟之间没有关联。这些发现补充了一小部分文献，证明情感的行为成分可以前瞻性地预测青春期的物质使用，并表明情感的不同维度与早期物质使用表现出独特的关系。
Earlier use of tobacco in adolescence is associated with numerous adverse outcomes later in life. Although a number of studies have linked individual differences in affective functioning to adolescent smoking, these have relied primarily on self-report measures, and the contribution of different dimensions of affect to the onset of tobacco use during this period remains unclear. The current study examined these issues in a sample of 180 adolescents recruited from an ongoing prospective, longitudinal study examining emotional development. At approximately age 12, participants completed a questionnaire measure of affective temperament and took part in a family interaction task that was coded observationally to provide measures of dysphoric, aggressive, and positive behaviors. At 2 subsequent assessments, which took place approximately 2.5 years and 4 years after the initial assessment, participants completed a questionnaire measure of substance use. In total, 70 participants initiated smoking between the ages of 12 and 17. An earlier onset of smoking was predicted by more aggressive and less positive observed behavior during the interaction task, as well as lower levels of self-reported temperamental Effortful Control. There were no associations between dysphoric behaviors, or temperamental measures of negative affectivity or surgency and the onset of smoking. The findings add to a small body of literature demonstrating that behavioral components of affect can prospectively predict substance use in adolescence and suggest that different dimensions of affect show unique relationships with early substance use.
