The brief version of the Wisconsin Inventory of Smoking Dependence Motives (B-WISDM) is a well-established instrument to measure the multidimensional nature of nicotine dependence. However, no previous research has assessed its psychometric properties in the Spanish context. The aim of the present study was to analyze the factor structure and measurement invariance across gender of this instrument among Spanish smokers from the general population.
This cross-sectional study assessed 480 smokers through an online questionnaire including information on tobacco use and several nicotine dependence measures. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used to assess the factorial structure of the Spanish B-WISDM, its internal consistency, measurement invariance across gender and convergent validity with the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) and the Glover-Nilsson Smoking Behavioral Questionnaire (GN-SBQ) scores.
Results indicate that the eleven correlated factors solution had a better fit when compared to the other tested models (two correlated factors and two second-order factors with eleven first-order correlated factors solution), remaining such structure invariant across gender. Internal consistency of the scale was high (α = 0.950; dimension α values ranged between 0.657 and 0.921). Overall scores and dimensions of the scale significantly and positively correlated with other nicotine dependence measures (except for Social/Environmental Goads and FTND).
This is the first version of the B-WISDM validated to assess nicotine dependence with a multidimensional perspective within the Spanish culture. Results show adequate psychometric properties regarding its factor structure and measurement invariance across gender, supporting its utility to evaluate the motives driving tobacco use among Spanish smokers from the general population.
威斯康星州吸烟依赖动机简表（B-WISDM）的简短版本是一种成熟的工具，用于衡量尼古丁依赖的多维性质。然而，以前没有研究在西班牙背景下评估其心理测量特性。本研究的目的是分析该工具在西班牙普通人群中吸烟者中的因子结构和跨性别测量不变性。
本横断面研究通过在线问卷评估了 480 名吸烟者的信息，包括烟草使用情况和几种尼古丁依赖测量。验证性因子分析用于评估西班牙 B-WISDM 的因子结构、内部一致性、跨性别测量不变性以及与尼古丁依赖测试量表（FTND）和 Glover-Nilsson 吸烟行为问卷（GN-SBQ）得分的收敛效度。
结果表明，与其他测试模型相比，十一相关因素解决方案具有更好的拟合度（两个相关因素和两个二阶因素，具有十一相关因素解决方案），性别之间保持这种结构不变。量表的内部一致性很高（α=0.950；维度α值在 0.657 到 0.921 之间）。量表的总分和维度与其他尼古丁依赖测量显著正相关（除了社会/环境诱因和 FTND）。
这是第一个在西班牙文化中使用多维视角评估尼古丁依赖的 B-WISDM 验证版本。结果表明，其因子结构和跨性别测量不变性具有足够的心理测量特性，支持其在评估西班牙普通人群中吸烟者吸烟动机方面的效用。
