Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) reveals that immediate negative affect (NA) and NA increases predict smoking lapses. Post-lapse self-efficacy (SE) changes are crucial for relapse prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Science
  • Psychology
  • Addiction Research

Background:

  • Smoking relapse is a significant public health issue.
  • Understanding the immediate triggers and psychological factors influencing relapse is critical for developing effective interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of negative affect (NA) and self-efficacy (SE) in cigarette smoking relapse using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA).
  • To examine how dynamic changes in affect and SE influence smoking lapse risk and progression to relapse.

Main Methods:

  • Application of Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) to track daily mood, stress, self-efficacy, and smoking behavior in individuals attempting to quit.
  • Analysis of proximal changes in affect and SE in relation to smoking lapses and relapse.

Main Results:

  • While daily mood changes did not predict lapse risk, proximal increases in negative affect (NA) and intense NA were associated with smoking lapses.
  • Individual differences in baseline self-efficacy (SE) predicted lapse risk, but daily SE levels were stable.
  • Smoking lapses led to immediate drops in SE, and subsequent changes in post-lapse SE predicted relapse.
  • Momentary SE drops occurred with NA, particularly in individuals with lower baseline SE, highlighting situational expression of SE.

Conclusions:

  • Dynamic changes in affective states, especially immediate negative affect, are significant predictors of smoking lapses.
  • Post-lapse self-efficacy is a critical factor in the progression from lapse to relapse.
  • Interventions should consider person-by-situation interactions, particularly the interplay between negative affect and self-efficacy, to prevent smoking relapse.
