- The Cognitive Approach - Smoking
- Evaluation
- Addiction or excess - research relating to expectancy theory concerned more with excesses than with addiction
- Research support for influence of expectancies on relapse. Use of nicotine patches alone did not improve cessation rates - Hurt et al. Only work accompanied by CBT
- Juliano and Brano - smokers' positive expectancies for effects of smoking do not generalise to NRT
- Research in this area may suffer from publication bias and also problems collecting objective datda
- AO1
- Initiation - behaviour escalates into addiction because of costs and benefits. Negative mood alleviated by smoking plus expectation of positive mood states
- Maintenance- as addiction develops, activity influenced processing. Manipulated expectations during abstinence
- Relapse - expectations of costs and benefits of smoking affect individual's readiness to quit and likelihood of them relapsing after they have quit
