title: Evaluating the mediating role of coping-based smoking motives among treatment-seeking adult smokers.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Empirical work has demonstrated a linkage between smoking rate and anxious arousal symptoms. However, there is little understanding of the mechanisms underlying this association.
  
  
  METHODS
  The present investigation examined the role of coping-based smoking motives in terms of mediating the relations between smoking rate and anxious arousal symptoms and anxious arousal symptoms and smoking rate among a sample of treatment-seeking adult smokers (N = 123; 84 women; M(age) = 45.93, SD = 10.34).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Results indicated that coping motives mediated the relations between smoking rate and anxious arousal symptoms and anxious arousal symptoms and smoking rate.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These results suggest that coping motives play a key role in terms of better understanding the association between smoking rate and anxious arousal symptoms.
