Abstract
The current research aims to explore the conflict between smoking and health goals among intermittent compared to daily smokers (ITSs vs DSs). A mouse-tracking paradigm was used to assess participants' choice between smoking and healthier activities (e.g. walking with a friend) and the conflict they experienced while making this choice as a function of smoking patterns (intermittent vs daily) and dependence motives (e.g. craving) measured by the Brief Wisconsin Inventory of Smoking Dependence Motives (WISDM). ITSs experienced more choice conflict than DSs, particularly at lower levels of dependence motives. Higher levels of conflict were in turn related to a lower likelihood to choose smoking. The results suggest that smoking behavior among ITSs is not yet automatized and may be influenced by health goals. Understanding the role of health and other goals among ITSs may provide critical insights for prevention and intervention.
目前的研究旨在探讨间歇性吸烟者与日常吸烟者（ITSs vs DSs）之间吸烟与健康目标之间的冲突。使用小鼠跟踪范式来评估参与者在吸烟和更健康的活动（如与朋友一起散步）之间的选择，以及他们在做出这种选择时所经历的冲突，作为吸烟模式（间歇性还是每天）和依赖动机（如渴望）的函数，由吸烟依赖动机简短威斯康星清单（WISDM）测量。在依赖动机水平较低的情况下，信息技术组经历了更多的选择冲突。冲突程度越高，选择吸烟的可能性越低。结果表明，it人员的吸烟行为尚未自动化，可能受到健康目标的影响。了解健康和其他目标在信息技术服务提供者中的作用可能为预防和干预提供重要见解。
期刊介绍：
ournal of Health Psychology is an international peer-reviewed journal that aims to support and help shape research in health psychology from around the world. It provides a platform for traditional empirical analyses as well as more qualitative and/or critically oriented approaches. It also addresses the social contexts in which psychological and health processes are embedded. Studies published in this journal are required to obtain ethical approval from an Institutional Review Board. Such approval must include informed, signed consent by all research participants.
