TL;DR: The BART evidenced sound experimental properties, and riskiness on the BART was correlated with scores on measures of sensation seeking, impulsivity, and deficiencies in behavioral constraint, indicating that the BART may be a useful tool in the assessment of risk taking.

TL;DR: Results suggest that smokers with heightened levels of AS may smoke more often to manage negative moods and may be less able to tolerate early withdrawal symptoms, specifically during early stages of a quit attempt.

TL;DR: For example, the authors found that CBT-D provides specific benefits for some, but not all, smokers with a history of major depressive disorder (MDD), but no main effect of treatment was found.

TL;DR: Victims of severe partner violence were significantly more likely than were victims of minor partner violence to report self-defense as a reason for their violence perpetration and the clinical implications of these findings are discussed.

TL;DR: Examination of common and unique associations between CESD subscales and baseline smoking characteristics, nicotine withdrawal, and relapse in 157 participants enrolled in a smoking cessation trial for heavy social drinkers found interventions targeting anhedonia and low positive affect may be useful for smokers trying to quit.
