Stanford Smoking Dependence Inventory

This is a 15-item self-report measure that assesses motives for cigarette smoking. Response choices are on a 5-point Likert scale ("not at all true" to "very true"). Adolescents are asked to rate each potential motive for smoking with respect to how true they think it is. There are four subscales for the 15-item measure. These include Social Motives (4 items), Self-enhancement Motives (4 items), Boredom Relief Motives (2 items), and Affect Regulation Motives (5 items).
