“…Affect regulation theory states that substances are used to enhance positive emotional states as well as to cope with negative affectivity resulting from exposure to chronic and acute stressors (see Carmody, ; Chesney, ; Cooper, Russell, & Frone, ; Shiffman & Wills, ). Cooper's (1994) four‐factor model of motivations for using alcohol described two underlying dimensions related to the source (internal versus external) and valence (positive and negative) that contribute to drinking motives.…”

Individuals with concealable stigmatized identities often possess no obviously devalued attributes, yet are at greater risk for problematic substance use compared to their privileged counterparts. We present a conceptual model, which proposes that identity-relevant content and characteristics have important implications for cognitive, affective, and behavioral consequences of stigma-related stress. In doing so, we synthesize stigma-related models from the extant literature and attempt to integrate these concepts with previous work detailing potential contributors to substance use behaviors specifically. Finally, we ask readers to consider the various ways in which the content and characteristics of an individual’s stigmatized identity might combine with situational and additional individual difference factors to influence the likelihood of substance misuse.

“…The incidence of cancer and lung disease among women has, as would be expected, risen in line with the increase in female smoking prevalence (Health Education Authority, 1992). Smoking also constitutes a principal risk factor in the incidence of cardiovascular disease, the primary cause of death among adult women in Western industrialized countries (Chesney, 1991). Despite the health risks and regardless of various intensive public health campaigns, at present around 28% of women in the UK are regular smokers (OPCS, 1992).…”

In this study discourse analysis was used in order to gain a greater understanding of the multiple meanings that women smokers attach to cigarette smoking. The discursive constructions used by women to explain and justify their smoking behaviour were identified by analysing the transcripts of four semi-structured interviews. All respondents framed their accounts of cigarette smoking within a discourse of addiction, reflecting the prevalence of this construction within the disciplines of medicine, psychology and health promotion. The deterministic and disempowering implications of this discourse are discussed in relation to the subsequent identification of constructions of control and self-regulation which were utilized by most of the respondents. This article also discusses the significance and implications of these discursive constructions to health promotion efforts.

“…The interpretation of high-risk sexual behavior as a coping response to stress is similar to interpretations offered for other risk behaviors such as the use of cigarettes, opiates, and alcohol. Chesney (1988) pointed out that smoking cessation programs traditionally place an emphasis on breaking the smoking “habit” without recognizing that smoking may be serving a coping function. She suggested that environmental stress provokes negative mood states such as depression, anxiety, and anger in the person undergoing stress, which in turn elicit coping responses, including maladaptive ones such as smoking.…”

We examined the relation between stress, coping, and a high-risk sexual behavior (unprotected anal intercourse) in 398 nonmonogamous gay and bisexual men from the AIDS Behavioral Research Project in San Francisco. Unprotected anal intercourse during the previous month, the amount of stress experienced during the previous month in each of 10 domains, six types of coping (self-controlling coping, escape-avoidance, distancing, planful problem-solving, seeking social support, and positive reappraisal), and spiritual beliefs and spiritual activities were assessed through self-report. There was no relation between stress and unprotected anal intercourse. However, there was a relation between coping and unprotected anal intercourse. Subjects who reported unprotected anal intercourse used sex more of the time to help cope with stressful situations than did subjects who did not report unprotected anal intercourse. Unprotected anal intercourse was negatively associated with seeking social support and spiritual activities and positively associated with self-controlling coping, which involves keeping one's feelings to oneself, and positive reappraisal. The findings suggest that social aspects of coping may be a key to understanding differences between those who engage in high-risk sexual behavior and those who do not.
