    Antecedentes: el presente estudio tiene como objetivo examinar la relación entre la conducta de evitación, el reforzamiento ambiental percibido, la sintomatología depresiva y la dependencia del tabaco. Método: la muestra estaba formada por 275 fumadores que demandan tratamiento para dejar de fumar (Medad = 45,36, DT = 10,96; 61,5% mujeres). Para examinar la relación entre las variables de estudio se realizaron análisis de correlación y de mediación serial. Resultados: se encontró una correlación positiva significativa entre la dependencia del tabaco, la evitación y la sintomatología depresiva, y una correlación negativa significativa con el reforzamiento ambiental percibido. El análisis de mediación serial reveló una vía indirecta significativa entre la evitación y la dependencia del tabaco a través de la sintomatología depresiva; así como entre la evitación y la dependencia del tabaco a través del reforzamiento ambiental percibido y la sintomatología depresiva. Conclusiones: los resultados de este estudio contribuyen a la comprensión de factores conductuales y psicológicos implicados en la dependencia del tabaco, la cual es considerada una barrera para lograr la abstinencia. Por lo tanto, la evaluación y abordaje de estas variables podría considerarse un aspecto relevante en el contexto de las intervenciones para dejar de fumar.

    Background: The current study sought to further examine the relation between avoidance, environmental reward, depressive symptoms and cigarette dependence. Method: The sample included 275 adult treatment-seeking daily smokers (Mage = 45.36, SD = 10.96; 61.5% female). To examine the relationships between the study variables, correlation and serial mediation analyses were conducted. Results: A significant positive relationship between cigarette dependence, avoidance, and depressive symptoms, and a negative relationship with environmental reward was found. Mediation analysis revealed a significant indirect pathway from avoidance to cigarette dependence through depressive symptoms; and also a significant indirect serial pathway from avoidance to cigarette dependence through environmental reward and depressive symptoms. Conclusions: Our findings suggest the importance of avoidance, environmental reward and depressive symptoms in cigarette dependence. Our findings contribute to the understanding of behavioral and psychological factors related to cigarette dependence, which is a well-known barrier to abstinence. Thus, it could be useful to assess and address such variables in the context of smoking-cessation interventions.
