Reversal Theory and Smoking: A State-Based Approach to Ex-Smokers' Highly Tempting Situations.

O'Connell, Kathleen A.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v58 n4 p489-94 Aug 1990

Tested hypotheses derived from reversal theory in two studies of highly tempting situations of ex-smokers from smoking cessation programs. Results supported hypotheses that individuals in paratelic or negativistic states were more likely to lapse than individuals in telic/conformist states and that cigarette availability was related to lapses in paratelic, but not telic, states.
