Abstract

This study was intended to identify influential variables on types of smoking temptation(Urge to facilitate interpersonal relation, Psychological desire for tranquility, Habituation in social life, Habituation in daily life, Nicotine craving combined with daily routine) in adult smokers, which have been derived from Q methodology. A survey was conducted with 330 adult smokers at community settings in Seoul from March to July 2006. To identify the influential variables related to smoking temptation, variables form the Transtheoretical model(self-efficacy for smoking abstinence, smoking temptation, process of change, decisional balance) and nicotine dependency were analyzed by ANOVA. Post-comparison tests were also done. The scores of nicotine tendency and smoking temptation were higher in ‘Nicotine carving combined with daily routine' than any other types, while the score of self-efficacy for smoking abstinence was higher in ‘Urge in need of facilitating interpersonal relation' than any other types. Specific smoking intervention methods for each of the smoking temptation types to be developed, based on how different groups get into decisions to cease smoking with their contexts.
