Tobacco Motives 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).
Eligibility
The Tobacco Motives Inventory (TMI) is intended for use with adult smokers aged 18 and over. Participants should be current smokers of tobacco cigarettes, cigars, or other forms of combustible tobacco.
