Description

Dunja van der Velde and ten co-authors study how smoking, stress, and negative affect interact in daily life for patients with psychosis, in work published in 2025. Smoking is highly prevalent in this group, and stress and low mood are common as well. Experience sampling tracks these factors many times a day in real settings.

Samples include 158 patients, 136 unaffected siblings, and 117 controls from a Dutch genetic risk study. Across time, smoking status first links to negative affect in patients, but the link fades once psychotic symptoms and cannabis use are counted. Within person tests show negative affect drops right after a cigarette in patients who smoke. The design separates stable group differences from moment to moment effects.
