“…stress/boredom relief) motives as the highest rated motives for smoking (Fidler & West, 2009), related to daily cigarette consumption (McEwen, West, & McRobbie, 2008), increased levels of alcohol use (Cooper, 1994;Kuntsche et al, 2006b), heavier drinking problems (Bradizza et al, 1999;Carey & Correia, 1997;Cooper et al, 1992), and higher frequency of marijuana use among different populations (Bonn-Miller, Chabrol et al, 2005;Simons et al, 1998Simons et al, , 2000. Those findings are in line with the proposition that substance use motives could be reduced to the negative and positive reinforcement motive dimensions (Battista et al, 2008). Interestingly, social motives were more commonly associated with infrequent alcohol use and with drinking in social settings (Cooper, 1994;Kuntsche et al, 2006b), contrary to the current study.…”

The research aimed to explore the salience of different motives for substance use among alcohol, tobacco and marijuana users, and to investigate the difference in motives' salience with regard to frequency of substance use and respondents' socio-demographic characteristics. Data were collected among subsamples of alcohol, tobacco and marijuana users drawn from the representative sample of Croatian citizens (N = 4756). Respondents assessed four types, and for marijuana use five types of motives for each substance use (enhancement, social, conformity, coping, and expansion). The enhancement motives were assessed as the most, and conformity motives as the least salient motives among all groups of substance users. Generally, enhanced salience of motives was related to the frequency of all types of substance use. While age had significant effect on the salience of social motives for tobacco use, gender and marital status had significant effect on the salience of all motives for alcohol use, and age had significant effect only on the salience of enhancement and social motives for alcohol use. Among marijuana users, only marital status had significant effect on the salience of expansion motives for marijuana use. Results are discussed within the framework of motivational models for substance use.

“…Prior findings illustrate that AS is more strongly associated with self-reported motivation to smoke for negative affect reduction than positive affect enhancement (Battista et al, 2008;Brown et al, 2001;Leyro et al, 2008). Thus, it is surprising that AS exhibited more consistent associations with measures indicative of positive reinforcement processes, including smoking satisfaction, psychological reward, and positive affect enhancement, than those indicative of negative reinforcement processes (e.g., negative affect suppression) in this study.…”

introduction: Anxiety sensitivity (i.e., AS; the degree to which one believes that anxiety and its related sensations are harmful) is a stable trait that is associated with habitual smoking. Yet, the mechanisms linking AS and smoking are unclear. A promising hypothesis is that high-AS individuals are more sensitive to the acute subjective reinforcing effects of smoking and are, therefore, more prone to tobacco dependence. This study examined trait AS as a predictor of several subjective effects of cigarette smoking.

“…[6,35,36] Yet, relatively few studies have examined smoking variables in relation to the three AS facets, and extant work shows that different facets of AS have different smoking-related correlates. AS physical and cognitive concerns have been consistently associated with greater negative reinforcement-related smoking motives and expectancies, [31,37–39] whereas only one study has associated AS cognitive concerns with positive reinforcement-related smoking motives. [37] Although most studies have reported no relationship between AS facets and cigarette frequency or dependence severity, [31,38,39] one study reported that all three AS facets were associated with daily cigarette consumption.…”

[37] Although most studies have reported no relationship between AS facets and cigarette frequency or dependence severity, [31,38,39] one study reported that all three AS facets were associated with daily cigarette consumption. [23] Then in a recent study of non-treatment-seeking smokers, [31] we found that AS physical and cognitive concerns were associated with more severe (retrospectively reported) problems during tobacco abstinence; all three AS components were associated with stronger negative reinforcement-related smoking outcome expectancies; only AS social concerns were associated with stronger positive reinforcement-related smoking outcome expectancies; and none of the AS facets were associated with tobacco dependence severity or subtypes.…”

Anxiety sensitivity (AS)—fear of anxiety-related experiences—has been implicated in smoking motivation and maintenance. In a cross-sectional design, we examined AS facets (physical, cognitive, and social concerns) in relation to tobacco use, abstinence-related problems, and cognitions in 473 treatment-seeking smokers. After controlling for sex, race, age, educational attainment, hypertension status, and neuroticism, linear regression models indicated that AS physical and cognitive concerns were associated with tobacco dependence severity (β = .13–.14, p < .01), particularly the severity of persistent smoking regardless of context or time of day (β = .14–.17, p < .01). All three AS facets were related to more severe problems during past quit attempts (β = .23–.27, p < .001). AS cognitive and social concerns were related to negative affect reduction smoking motives (β = .14, p < .01), but only the social concerns aspect of AS was related to pleasurable relaxation smoking motives and positive and negative reinforcement-related smoking outcome expectancies (β = .14–.17, p < .01). These data suggest that AS physical and cognitive concerns are associated with negative reinforcement-related smoking variables (e.g., abstinence-related problems), whereas the social concerns aspect of AS is associated with positive and negative reinforcement-related smoking variables. Together with past findings, current findings can usefully guide AS-oriented smoking cessation treatment development and refinement.
