Abstract

Objective: To provide a scientifc tool, the Temptations to Try Smoking Scale (TTSS) is introduced to evaluate its reliability and validity in preventing and intervening Chinese adolescents from smoking temptations.

Methods: A questionnaire, including the TTSS, the Chinese version of the Decisional Balance Scale (CDBS), the Adolescent Smoking Curiosity Scale (ASCOS), and the Sensation-Seeking Scale (SSS), is used to test 1195 Chinese adolescent volunteers (214 of them are retested after 1 month). If all six items in the TTSS are retained, the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) reveals that the TTSS exhibits a structure of two factors: positive social and curiosity/stress.

Results: The confrmatory factor analysis (CFA) shows that the two-factor model of the TTSS has the ftting indices χ²/df = 2.35, RMSEA = 0.06, and CFI = 0.99, which are better than those of its single-factor model. The total scores of the TTSS, positive social, and curiosity/stress are positively correlated with the scores of Pros, ASCOS, TAS, and Dis of SSS but negatively correlated with the Cons, hereby exhibiting good criterion-related validity. The internal consistency coefcient of the TTSS is 0.89, and the retest reliability is 0.90.

Conclusion: Therefore, the TTSS has good reliability and validity for Chinese adolescents and can be used as an efective tool to evaluate adolescents' smoking temptations in China.

吸烟诱惑量表在一组中国青少年中的信度和有效性。

目的：为了提供一个科学的工具，引入诱惑尝试吸烟量表（TTSS）来评估其在预防和干预中国青少年吸烟诱惑方面的可靠性和有效性。方法：采用TTSS、中国版决定平衡量表（CDBS）、青少年吸烟好奇心量表（ASCOS）和感觉寻求量表（SSS）对1195名中国青少年志愿者（其中214人在1个月后再次测试）进行问卷调查。如果TTSS中的六个项目都保留下来，探索性因素分析（EFA）显示TTSS表现出两个因素的结构：积极的社会和好奇心/压力 = 2.35，RMSEA = 0.06和CFI = 0.99，优于其单因素模型。TTSS、积极社交和好奇心/压力的总分与SSS的Pros、ASCOS、TAS和Dis得分呈正相关，但与Cons呈负相关，因此表现出良好的标准相关有效性。TTSS的内部一致性系数为0.89，复测信度为0.90。结论：TTSS对中国青少年具有良好的信度和有效性，可作为评估中国青少年吸烟诱惑的有效工具。
