。背景：本研究探讨了情绪困扰耐受性（DT）在预测戒烟障碍和戒烟尝试次数中的作用。方法：样本由每天定期吸烟的人（N = 126；37 名女性；M 年龄 = 36.51，SD = 13.05）组成，他们完成了情感和吸烟的自我报告测量。结果：在控制每日吸烟率和焦虑敏感性后，情绪 DT 显着预测了戒烟的内部障碍（6.9％的独特方差），但不能预测外部或与成瘾相关的戒烟障碍。与预测不一致的是，情绪 DT 并没有显着预测戒烟尝试的次数。结论：这些结果表明，情绪 DT 较低的个体认为戒烟会很困难，因为它失去了重要的情感调节策略，并且在戒烟干预中以情绪 DT 为目标可能有用。
. Background: The present study examined the role of emotional distress tolerance (DT) in predicting barriers to smoking cessation and number of quit attempts. Methods: The sample consisted of regular daily smokers (N = 126; 37 females; M-age = 36.51, SD = 13.05) who completed self-report measures on affect and smoking. Results: After controlling for daily smoking rate and anxiety sensitivity, emotional DT significantly predicted internal barriers to cessation (6.9% unique variance) but not external or addiction-related barriers to cessation. Inconsistent with prediction, emotional DT did not significantly predict number of quit attempts. Conclusions: These results suggest that individuals who are low in emotional DT believe that quitting smoking will be difficult because it takes away an important affect regulation strategy, and there may be utility in targeting emotional DT in smoking cessation interventions.
