“…Consequently, traditional African Americans might experience more frequent racial discrimination than their acculturated counterparts, and the stress of this discrimination may be related to smoking. Although highly speculative, this possibility is consistent with data demonstrating a relationship between stress and smoking in general (Cohen andLichenstein, 1990, Epstein andPerkins, 1988;Perkins and Grobe, 1992;Pomerleau and Pomerleau, 1991;Revel et al, 1985;Shadel and Mermelstein, 1993) and between high stress and smoking among African Americans in particular (Gottlieb and Green, 1987). A fourth possibility is suggested by the finding that the smokers here also were less (traditionally) religious than their nonsmoking counterparts.…”

The relationship between acculturation and cigarette smoking among African Americans was examined with 444 adults. Results revealed that African American smokers were more traditional (less acculturated) than their nonsmoking counterparts, irrespective of gender, and that acculturation was a better predictor of smoking than status variables such as income and education. The prevalence of smoking among traditional African Americans was 33.6% and similar to the national data (33.2%), whereas the prevalence of smoking among acculturated African Americans was 15.3%; 68.49% of African American smokers were highly traditional. These findings suggest that acculturation is a factor in smoking among African Americans and highlight the need for further exploration of the role of acculturation in African American health and health-related behavior.

“…In regard to smoking motivational processes, there is a large empirical literature that documents smokers attribute their smoking, at least in part, to it mood-regulating functions and believe that smoking will reduce negative affect states (Parrott, 1999;Revel, Warburton, & Wesnes, 1985). Due to their affective vulnerability, smokers with panic disorder may be a subgroup of individuals that is highly motivated to smoke to temporarily escape from negative emotional distress elicited by acute nicotine withdrawal or non-withdrawal states (e.g., anticipatory anxiety).…”

“…Alcohol is a known disinhibitor of eating (Polivy & Herman, 1976b) and, given the pervasiveness of dieting in women, there is a need to explore the entire spectrum of disordered eating and alcohol use, from non-problematic to pathological. An association between alcohol and tobacco use is well documented (Revell, Warburton, & Wesnes, 1985;US DHHS, 1988;Welte & Barnes, 1987). Many authors have alluded to self-control as a key variable involved in consummatory behaviour problems (Dunn & Ondercin, 1981;Jacobson, 1982;Katz & Singh, 1986) and their treatment (Fairburn, 1985;Miller & Joyce, 1979;Powell & McCann, 1981).…”

One hundred and sixty‐seven female undergraduates completed a series of questionnaires assembled to assess indices of eating disorders relative to tobacco and alcohol use, self‐control, and sex‐role ideology. Data were subjected to correlational, factorial, regression and analysis of variance procedures. In general, results showed the eating disorder indices to be independent of smoking and drinking behaviour. Smoking status and alcohol consumption were significantly related in that nonsmokers consumed less alcohol and reported being drunk less often than either smokers or ex‐smokers. Self‐control scores showed the greatest association with a measure of social desirability, although there were weak links to eating disorder indices and level of alcohol use. Self‐control also emerged as the sole predictor of eating disorder measures. Finally, sex‐role ideology was found to be a weak moderator of alcohol consumption such that the more feminist the ideology, the lower the level of intake.
