Despite evidence that expectancies influence the use and effects of drugs, there are no questionnaires that assess abstinence expectancies among smokers. Such a questionnaire may assist prediction models of successful quitting, enable clinicians to target specific expectancies, and give researchers a broader understanding of cognitive processes that influence smoking.
We aimed to develop a questionnaire that assesses, among daily smokers, expected short-term psychological and physiological consequences to (hypothetically) abstaining from smoking. Initial scale items, completed by 326 smokers, were constructed on the basis of theory, empirical evidence, and expert review.
The final Smoking Abstinence Expectancies Questionnaire (SAEQ) has 28 items and 4 internally consistent subscales: Negative Mood (e.g., "I would feel grouchy"), Somatic Symptoms (e.g., "My throat would feel dry"), Harmful Consequences (e.g., "I would feel like I'm dying"), and Positive Consequences (e.g., "I would feel calm"). The full scale showed good internal consistency (∝ = .86), test-retest reliability over a 2-week span (r = .82), as well as convergent and discriminant validity.
The present study provides preliminary support for the SAEQ as a tool in smoking cessation research and treatment planning.
尽管有证据表明期望会影响药物的使用和效果，但目前还没有专门评估吸烟者戒烟期望的问卷。这样的问卷可以帮助预测戒烟的成功率，使临床医生能够针对特定的期望进行治疗，并让研究人员更全面地了解影响吸烟的认知过程。
我们旨在开发一种问卷，评估每日吸烟者在（假设）戒烟时短期预期的心理和生理后果。最初的量表项目是基于理论、经验证据和专家审查而构建的，由 326 名吸烟者完成。
最终的《吸烟戒断期望问卷》（SAEQ）共有 28 个项目和 4 个内部一致的分量表：负面情绪（例如，“我会感到烦躁”）、躯体症状（例如，“我的喉咙会感到干燥”）、有害后果（例如，“我会感觉自己快死了”）和积极后果（例如，“我会感到平静”）。整个量表显示出良好的内部一致性（α =.86）、两周内的重测信度（r =.82），以及收敛和区分效度。
本研究初步支持 SAEQ 作为戒烟研究和治疗计划的工具。
