尽管社交焦虑似乎是吸烟和尼古丁依赖的风险因素，但很少有研究确定可能在这些关系中发挥作用的因素。这项研究调查了945名大学生(73.0%为女性)中的性别和吸烟动机在这些关系中的作用，其中91人目前每天都吸烟。在女性中，社交焦虑与日常吸烟状况有关，而在男性中，社交焦虑与依赖程度有关。在控制过去一周的吸烟频率后，社交焦虑与附属依恋和行为选择-改善吸烟动机有关。这两种动机都在社交焦虑和尼古丁依赖严重程度之间起到了中介作用，尽管附属依恋动机是唯一起中介作用的动机。结果表明，社交焦虑的人认为香烟与社交具有一些相同的特征，可能特别容易受到更严重的尼古丁依赖的影响。研究结果还强调了在社交焦虑和吸烟行为之间的关系中考虑性别的重要性。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Although social anxiety appears to be a risk factor for smoking and nicotine dependence, little work has identified factors that may play a role in these relationships. The current study examined the role of gender and smoking motives in these relationships among 945 (73.0% female) undergraduates, 91 of whom were current daily smokers. Among women, social anxiety was related to daily smoking status, whereas it was related to dependence severity among men. After controlling for past-week smoking frequency, social anxiety was related to affiliative attachment and behavioral choice-melioration smoking motives. Both motives mediated the relationship between social anxiety and nicotine dependence severity, although affiliative attachment motives uniquely mediated this relationship. Results suggest that socially anxious individuals who view cigarettes as having some of the same characteristics as social interactions may be particularly vulnerable to more severe nicotine dependence. Results also highlight the importance of considering gender in the relationships between social anxiety and smoking behaviors. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
