Partner Support and Relapse in Smoking-Cessation Programs.

Mermelstein, Robin; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v51 n3 p465-66 Jun 1983

Examined how a spouse can help or hinder an individual who wants to stop smoking. An experienced helpfulness score was calculated from the responses of married subjects (N=46) in a smoking cessation program. Successful abstainers had partners who were more reinforcing and less punishing of the subjects' efforts. (JAC)
