Description
Summary:The Situation x Trait Adaptive Response Smoking Motivation Questionnaire (STAR-SMOQ) was developed to assess dimensions of conscious motivation to smoke, as well as desire to smoke and probability of smoking across a number of situations, using a theoretical scale construction strategy based on the STAR model of smoking motivation proposed by Gilbert. Item analysis of a 97-item version of the STAR-SMOQ using a sample of 215 undergraduate smokers yielded 55 items covering 4 dimensions (Cognitive Enhancement, Pleasure Enhancement, Negative Affect Reduction, and Weight). Preliminary validation of the STAR-SMOQ scales was conducted using a sample of 155 student and adult smokers. As predicted the STAR-SMOQ scales showed modest correlations with theoretically related scales of the Russell Smoking Motivation Questionnaire and the Revised NEO Personality Inventory Neuroticism Scale.
