The current study found that anxiety sensitivity plays an important role in explaining the relationship between anxiety symptoms and smoking expectancies among Latinx smokers.
Although anxiety symptoms/disorders are consistently implicated in smoking processes, no empirical work has identified individual difference factors that may underlie such relations among Latinx smokers. The current study examined anxiety sensitivity as an explanatory factor underlying the relationship between anxiety symptoms and smoking expectancies among Spanish-speaking Latinx smokers. Participants included 363 Spanish-speaking Latinx daily smokers (58.7% female, M-age = 33.3 years, SD = 9.81). Results indicated that anxiety symptoms had a significant indirect effect on positive and negative smoking expectancies through anxiety sensitivity. Such findings suggest that anxiety sensitivity is relevant to understanding the anxiety-smoking expectancies association among Latinx smokers.
