The Smoking Outcome Expectation Scale and Anti-Smoking Self-Efficacy Scale for Early Adolescents

Abstract

Smoking-related outcome expectation and self-efficacy have been found to be associated with adolescent smoking initiation. There is, however, a lack of appropriate instruments to investigate early adolescents' smoking outcome expectations and antismoking self-efficacy. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the Smoking Outcome Expectation Scale (SOES) and Anti-Smoking Self-Efficacy Scale (ASSES). A total of 232 fifth and sixth graders from four elementary schools in Taiwan participated in the study. Both scales had good content validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. On the basis of exploratory factor analysis, the 6-item SOES with two factors accounted for 54.72% of total variance and the 15-item ASSES with three factors accounted for 56.49% of total variance. The SOES had convergent and discriminant validity and ASSES had convergent validity. The two scales could help school nurses to understand early adolescents' smoking outcome expectation and antismoking self-efficacy and to develop more appropriate antismoking curricula.

Effects of Abstinence Self-Efficacy and Outcome Expectancies of Tobacco Smoking on the Desire to Quit Among Saudi Women: A Cross-Sectional Mediation Analysis

“…Social cognitive theory (SCT), a prominent theory of cognitive mechanisms, may partly clarify the desire to use and quit tobacco smoking. 15 Specifically, tobacco smoking outcome expectancies, which are the anticipated consequences of performing a behavior, 16 and tobacco smoking abstinence self-efficacy, meaning belief regarding one’s ability to successfully resist performing a behavior, 17 are involved in the cognitive processes of undertaking and avoiding tobacco smoking. Outcome expectancies of tobacco smoking were associated with the desire to quit and clinically employed with motivational interviewing techniques to encourage smokers to consider different outcomes associated with smoking treatment such as behavioral and pharmacologic withdrawals, and physical functioning improvement.…”
