“…Self-reported depression has been found to be related to steeper delay discounting in treatment-seeking pregnant female smokers (Yoon et al, 2007) and adolescents (Imhoff et al, 2014), but not in all cases (Weidberg et al, 2015a). In smokers with schizophrenia, DD was not significantly different from healthy controls (MacKillop and Tidey, 2011), although discounting rate appears to be steeper among current and former smokers with schizophrenia relative to never smokers with schizophrenia (Wing et al, 2012). Thus, some data indicate that psychopathology influences DD in smokers.…”

Introduction Tobacco demand (i.e., relative value attributed to a given reinforcer) and delay discounting (i.e., relative preference for smaller immediate rewards over larger delayed rewards) are two behavioral economic processes that are linked to the progression of problematic substance use. These processes have not been studied among those with psychopathology, a vulnerable group of smokers. The current study examined differences in tobacco demand and delay discounting, and their association with smoking topography among smokers with (n=43) and without (n=64) past-year psychopathology. Method Adult daily smokers (n = 107, Mage = 43.5; SD = 9.7) participated in a study on “smoking behavior.” Past-year psychological disorders were assessed via a clinician-administered diagnostic assessment. All subjects participated in an ad libitum smoking trial and then completed an assessment of delay discounting (Monetary Choice Questionnaire) and tobacco demand (Cigarette Purchase Task) approximately 45–60 minutes post-smoking. Results Smokers with psychopathology, compared to those without, had significantly higher demand intensity and maximum expenditure on tobacco (Omax), but did not differ on other demand indices or delay discounting. Smokers with psychopathology had shorter average inter-puff intervals and shorter time to cigarette completion than smokers without psychopathology. Tobacco demand and delay discounting measures were significantly intercorrelated among smokers with psychopathology, but not those without. Both behavioral economic measures were associated with specific aspects of smoking topography in smokers with psychopathology. Discussion The association between tobacco demand and delay discounting is evident among smokers with psychopathology and both measures were most consistently related to smoking behavior.

Background Impulsivity critically relates to many psychiatric disorders. Given the multi-faceted construct that impulsivity represents, defining core aspects of impulsivity is vital for the assessment and understanding of clinical conditions. Choice impulsivity (CI), involving the preferential selection of smaller sooner rewards over larger later rewards, represents one important type of impulsivity. Method The International Society for Research on Impulsivity (InSRI) convened to discuss the definition and assessment of CI and provide recommendations regarding measurement across species. Results Commonly used preclinical and clinical CI behavioral tasks are described, and considerations for each task are provided to guide CI task selection. Differences in assessment of CI (self-report, behavioral) and calculating CI indices (e.g., area-under-the-curve, indifference point, steepness of discounting curve) are discussed along with properties of specific behavioral tasks used in preclinical and clinical settings. Conclusions The InSRI group recommends inclusion of measures of CI in human studies examining impulsivity. Animal studies examining impulsivity should also include assessments of CI and these measures should be harmonized in accordance with human studies of the disorders being modeled in the preclinical investigations. The choice of specific CI measures to be included should be based on the goals of the study and existing preclinical and clinical literature using established CI measures.

“…A significant body of research has tied DD to addictive behaviors, including tobacco use (MacKillop et al, 2011; Reynolds, 2006). A number of research groups have found that smokers show greater DD than nonsmokers (e.g., Baker et al, 2003; Bickel et al, 1999; Businelle et al, 2010; Heymann & Gibb 2006; Johnson et al, 2007; Mitchell & Wilson, 2012; Ohmura et al 2005; Reynolds & Fields, 2012; Reynolds et al, 2004; Stillwell & Tunney 2012; Wing et al, 2012). Amongst smokers, DD appears to be higher among the more nicotine dependent (e.g., Amlung & MacKillop 2014; Sweitzer et al, 2008), can be increased by nicotine deprivation (Field et al, 2006), and may predict treatment failure (e.g., Krishnan-Sarin et al, 2007; Sheffer et al, 2012).…”

Background Smoking regret differs by smoker characteristics (dependence) and may be linked to delay discounting (DD), where smaller immediate rewards are preferred to larger delayed rewards. It is hypothesized that those who exhibit stronger tendencies to delay rewards also express fewer future health concerns and possibly less regret about smoking. Objectives The objective is to determine the interrelationships of regret, dependence, and delay discounting among current smokers. Methods In July 2010, 1062 smokers completed a 45-minute at-home web based survey and answered questions including regret, dependence (Fagerstrom Test for Cigarette Dependence), and delay discounting (Monetary Choice Questionnaire). Relationships among these variables and perceived future health effects were analyzed using correlations, repeated measures analysis of variance, and generalized linear models. Results Most smokers (85%) regretted smoking. FTCD and log-k (DD) scores were positively associated (rs = 0.15, p<.001). Though a strong decline in log-k was shown as reward increased (p’s<.001), there were no differences in discounting by regret. Regret was positively associated with worries concerning health effects, quality of life, and finances (p’s<.001). Little association was found between DD and future health concerns. Conclusions / Importance Though this study confirms that regret for smoking is associated with perceived future risks as well as supports previous findings between FTCD and DD, it shows little association between DD and perceived future risks.
