Abstinence Violation Effect: Validation of an Attributional Construct with Smoking Cessation.
Curry, Susan; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v55 n2 p145-49 Apr 1987
The abstinence violation effect (AVE) proposed in Marlatt and Gordon's model of smoking relapse was operationalized as a combination of internal, stable, and global causal attributions for smoking following the attainment of abstinence from smoking. Smoking cessation program participants who relapsed following a slip reported significantly higher AVEs than those who regained abstinence following a slip. (Author/KS)
