Five hundred and fifty-eight cigarette smokers were randomized in 4 groups: acupuncture, behavior therapy, placebo and waiting list. The MMPI scales showed stability across pretest, posttest and a one-year follow-up. Principal components analysis isolated a "depression-psychasthenia" factor accounting for 61% of the variance. Moreover 43% of the subjects had an abnormal MMPI profile. Segmentation isolated predictive factors: a high number of pathological MMPI scales predicted failures in any kind of treatment. Acupuncture yielded better outcomes when the profiles were normal. Behavior therapy and placebo had better outcomes when the anxiety index was abnormal. The study underscores the role of personality factors in tobacco addiction and their influence on cessation programs outcomes.
558名吸烟者被随机分为4组：针灸组、行为治疗组、安慰剂组和候补组。明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）量表在预测试、后测试及一年随访期间显示出稳定性。主成分分析分离出一个“抑郁-精神衰弱”因子，其解释了61%的方差。此外，43%的受试者MMPI剖面图异常。分组分析分离出预测因素：大量病理性MMPI量表预示着任何一种治疗都会失败。当剖面图正常时，针灸产生更好的效果。当焦虑指数异常时，行为治疗和安慰剂产生更好的效果。该研究强调了人格因素在烟草成瘾中的作用及其对戒烟项目结果的影响。
