Smoking prevalence in the United States has stabilized as remaining population becomes increasingly representative of "at-risk smokers" who are unable to quit. The experience severe fatigue may be one underrecognized but highly common problem that help understanding smoking maintenance and relapse. Yet, there been no research on severity relation behavior measured "real time." purpose present study was provide a pilot test context deprivation predicting number puffs, puff velocity, interpuff...
Chronic low back pain is the second leading cause of disability in United States, and it often associated with severe fatigue. However, little known about individual differences that may be related to poorer mental health among individuals fatigue chronic pain.

As such, there is considerable interest better understanding relationship between depressive disorders.

Visceral sensitivity reflects anxiety about GI sensations its accompanying contexts leads worsening (e.g. bloating, upset stomach, diarrhea). Among individuals symptoms, visceral...
Prevailing theory and research suggests the psychological physiological discomfort associated with tobacco withdrawal may play a formative role in risk of cessation failure. Yet, elucidating cognitive-affective vulnerability characteristics that contribute to increased severity during periods planned abstinence is highly limited. In current study, we explored whether smokers greater reductions Anxiety Sensitivity (AS) dysphoria smoking intervention would experience less severe post-quit...
