摘要: This study reports on a prospective test of the Acquired Preparedness Model, which posits that impulsivity influences cigarette smoking through formation more positive and fewer negative expectancies about effects. College freshman never-smokers (n = 400; 45% male) completed baseline interview quarterly online follow-up assessments for 15 months after baseline. Structural equation modeling indicated effects components sensation seeking urgency risk initiation were mediated by reinforcement from smoking, respectively. Expectancies consequences predicted but did not mediate or urgency. Findings are consistent with Model suggest heightened is associated thus greater initiation.
