The existing research on affective and interpersonal determinants of smoking cessation largely under-represents minority smokers, such as Latinos. The current study examined associations between affective and interpersonal factors with intermediary smoking cessation variables among Mexican-American smokers (N = 290; 60% male). Measures of positive and negative affect, social support, and loneliness were each examined for associations with measures of motivational readiness to quit smoking, and smoking abstinence self-efficacy. Significant predictors were entered into models simultaneously to examine their unique associations. Covariates included gender, age, and educational attainment. Negative affect ( b  = .68,  SE b  = .14,  p  &lt; .001) and loneliness ( b  = .20, SE  b  = .09,  p  &lt; .05) were independently associated with motivation. Negative affect ( b  = .20, SE  b  = .06,  p  &lt; .01) and positive affect ( b  = .34 SE  b  = .07,  p  &lt; .001) were independently associated with self-efficacy. In the final models, only negative affect was associated with motivation ( b  = .68, SE b = .17,  p  &lt; .001); whereas negative ( b  = .17,  SE b  = .06,  p  &lt; .01) and positive ( b  = . 32, SE  b  = .07,  p  &lt; .001) affect were associated with self-efficacy. Results highlight the importance of resilience factors (e.g., positive affect) among Mexican-American smokers. Cessation interventions regularly target negative affect among smokers; additional focus on positive affect in cessation interventions with this population may be warranted.
