Although autobiographical narratives (ABNs) provide rich descriptions of how people change addictive behaviors, psychometric evaluations of such reports are rare. 27 ex-smokers who had quit for 1 to 5 years were interviewed twice about why they quit. Participants' ABN reasons for why they quit smoking were compared with their answers on the Reasons For Quitting (RFQ) scale and found to be similar. Ex-smokers' ABNs are reliably reported for number and types of reasons given for quitting. Reasons ex-smokers gave in their ABNs were similar to their RFQ subscale answers. ABNs, a qualitative measure of quitting smoking, captured more information about how people quit smoking than quantitative scales.
尽管自传式叙述（ABNs）能提供关于人们如何改变成瘾行为的丰富描述，但对这类报告的心理测量评估却很少见。对27名已戒烟1至5年的前吸烟者进行了两次访谈，询问他们戒烟的原因。将参与者关于戒烟的ABN原因与其在戒烟原因（RFQ）量表上的回答进行比较，发现二者相似。前吸烟者的ABN在戒烟原因的数量和类型方面报告可靠。前吸烟者在ABN中给出的原因与他们在RFQ子量表上的回答相似。ABN作为一种定性的戒烟测量方法，比定量量表能获取更多关于人们如何戒烟的信息。
