The relationships, reasons for smoking and personality were investigated in 98 cigarette smokers. Contrary to the usual findings, smoking did not relate to extraversion (E) but related instead to psychoticism (P). It is suggested that this relation is the true one, and previous findings have been due to a contaminated measure of E. Neuroticism (N) was related to the amount smoked, and particularly to a willingness to give reasons for smoking. There was no relation between the Reasons for Smoking Questionnaire, and attempts or success at giving up smoking. Smokers who rolled their own cigarettes were more introverted than others. No measures showed significant relations with the nicotine content of cigarettes.
对98名吸烟者的人际关系、吸烟原因和性格进行了调查。与通常的研究结果相反，吸烟与外向性（E）无关，而是与精神质（P）有关。研究表明，这种关系是真实存在的，之前的研究结果是由于对E的测量存在偏差。神经质（N）与吸烟量有关，尤其与愿意给出吸烟原因有关。吸烟原因问卷与戒烟尝试或戒烟成功之间没有关系。自己卷烟的吸烟者比其他人更内向。没有任何测量结果显示与香烟的尼古丁含量有显著关系。
