Abstract

Interrelationships among key constructs of the Transtheoretical Model are examined for the first time on a large (N = 4,144) representative sample of smokers. The posited relationships between the early Stages of Change (Precontemplation, Contemplation, Preparation) and the Processes of Change, Decisional Balance, and Situational Temptation are generally supported. Precontemplators are found to use the Processes of Change the least and those in Preparation use them the most. Precontemplators also have the least negative attitudes toward their smoking behavior. Precontemplators and Contemplators are tempted to smoke in more situations than those in Preparation. Precontemplators are also the most addicted to smoking, followed by those in Contemplation and Preparation, respectively, when examined on traditional measures of smoking behavior. The implications for smoking cessation efforts are also discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
