Comparison of Three Behavioral Techniques in the Modification of Smoking Behavior

Sutherland, Ann; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 43, 4, 443-446, Aug 75

Three behavioral techniques--relaxation, satiation, and combined relaxation/satiation--were compared to determine relative effectiveness in reducing cigarette smoking behavior in 53 volunteer smokers. Results indicate all three approaches were effective initially but only combined relaxation/satiation effectively maintained a significant reduction in cigareet consumption over a 3-month follow-up period.
