ABSTRACT Alcohol use is associated with poorer smoking cessation-related outcomes, and smokers with elevated levels of worry experience greater smoking cessation problems. Yet, little is known about the explanatory mechanisms that may underlie the relationship between trait worry and hazardous drinking among smokers. Therefore, this study explored the explanatory roles of coping and conformity drinking motives in the relationship between trait worry and hazardous drinking outcomes including alcohol consumption, alcohol problems, maximum number of drinks, and the number of prior alcohol quit attempts among treatment-seeking smokers. Participants included 377 treatment-seeking smokers who consumed at least one alcoholic drink in the last year (48% female; 86.2% Caucasian; M age = 34.83 years, SD = 13.38). Results showed a significant indirect effect of trait worry through coping-related drinking motives in relation to alcohol consumption, alcohol problems, maximum number of drinks, and number of prior drinking quit attempts. These findings were evident after controlling for gender, cigarette dependence, and current psychopathology. These findings suggest that coping drinking motives are one mechanism that may explain the relation between trait worry and hazardous drinking outcomes among treatment-seeking smokers.

寻求治疗的吸烟者特质担忧和危险饮酒的多重中介模型：应对和从众饮酒动机的作用

摘要 酒精使用与较差的戒烟相关结果相关，而焦虑程度较高的吸烟者会遇到更大的戒烟问题。然而，人们对可能构成吸烟者特质担忧与危险饮酒之间关系的解释机制知之甚少。因此，本研究探讨了应对和从众饮酒动机在特质担忧与危险饮酒结果之间的关系中的解释作用，包括饮酒、酒精问题、最大饮酒量以及寻求治疗的吸烟者之前戒酒尝试的次数。参与者包括 377 名在去年至少喝过一种酒精饮料的寻求治疗的吸烟者（48% 女性；86.2% 白种人；M 年龄 = 34.83 岁，SD = 13.38）。结果显示，特质担忧通过与饮酒、酒精问题、最大饮酒次数和先前戒酒尝试次数相关的应对相关饮酒动机产生显着的间接影响。在控制了性别、香烟依赖和当前的精神病理学后，这些发现是显而易见的。这些发现表明，应对饮酒动机是一种机制，可以解释寻求治疗的吸烟者的特质担忧与危险饮酒结果之间的关系。
