Abstract

Objective: The female menstrual cycle and associated fluctuations in ovarian hormones are an important biological context that likely influences emotion-focused smoking. The present study evaluated the role of emotion regulation difficulties on daily emotional distress and cigarette craving in the context of the perimenstrum (i.e., days before and during menses).

Method: Naturalistic daily data were collected from non-treatment-seeking naturally cycling females (N = 50, M_age = 32.3, SD = 5.3) who reported daily cigarette smoking. Ecological momentary assessment of anxiety, mood, and cigarette craving was collected while also tracking the menstrual cycle. Days were coded as either occurring during perimenstrum (i.e., 7 days prior to and first 3 days during menses) or reference (i.e., all other days). Trait difficulties with emotion regulation were assessed at baseline.

Results: Multilevel models indicated a significant effect of emotion regulation difficulties on daily emotional distress (i.e., anxiety, negative mood), specifically on perimenstrual days. A second set of multilevel models was conducted to model the influence of daily emotional distress on cigarette craving specifically during perimenstrual days. Significantly higher daily craving was reported on perimenstrum days characterized by higher negative mood relative to lower negative mood, but this effect was only statistically significant in the context of greater emotion regulation difficulties.

Discussion: The menstrual cycle, its associated ovarian hormone fluctuations, as well as individual differences in the response to emotion should be considered as important female-specific determinants of emotion-focused smoking. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

情绪调节方面的困难会放大经期情绪困扰和对香烟的渴望。

目的：女性月经周期和卵巢激素的相关波动是一个重要的生物学背景，可能影响情绪导向的吸烟。本研究评估了情绪调节困难在月经前后（即月经前和月经期间）的日常情绪困扰和吸烟渴望中的作用。方法：收集非寻求治疗的自然循环女性（N = 50, Mage = 32.3, SD = 5.3）每日吸烟的自然数据。在跟踪月经周期的同时，还收集了焦虑、情绪和香烟渴望的生态瞬间评估。天数被编码为发生在月经前期（即月经前7天和前3天）或参考（即所有其他日子）。在基线时评估情绪调节的特质困难。结果：多水平模型显示情绪调节困难对日常情绪困扰（即焦虑、负性情绪）有显著影响，特别是在月经前后。第二组多层次模型用于模拟日常情绪困扰对香烟渴望的影响，特别是在月经期。据报道，在月经前期，负性情绪相对于负性情绪较低的情况下，每日渴望程度显著提高，但这种影响仅在情绪调节困难较大的情况下才有统计学意义。讨论：月经周期，与之相关的卵巢激素波动，以及对情绪反应的个体差异，应被认为是女性情绪导向吸烟的重要决定因素。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
