Background: Both positive smoking outcome expectancies and metacognitions about smoking have been found to be positively associated with cigarette use and nicotine dependence. The goal of this study was to test a model including nicotine dependence and number of daily cigarettes as dependent variables, anxiety and depression as independent variables, and smoking outcome expectancies and metacognitions about smoking as mediators between the independents and dependents.

Metacognitions about the positive and negative effects of smoking have been associated with cigarette use and nicotine dependence. The aim of the present study was to validate the Turkish version of the Metacognitions about Smoking Questionnaire (MSQ; Nikcevic et al., 2015). The sample consisted of 859 self-declared smokers (452 female) aged between 18 and 68 years (mean = 28.3; SD = 7.9). Once the English to Turkish translation of the MSQ was completed, confirmatory factor analyses were conducted based on ...

Alma Uzuntuna, Leyla; YILMAZ SAMANCI, ADVİYE ESİN (2019-12-01)
The use of tobacco and tobacco products is a leading cause of preventable health problems and results in many deaths. Thus, a better understanding of cigarette use and the mechanisms of addiction would advance the literature. This study aims to explain the addiction to smoking in accordance with the metacognitive approach, which has a current and innovator point of view, and provides evidence that the metacognitive approach might be a novel treatment for smoking dependency. The metacognitive approach has be...

Smoking is the source of fundamental health problems. Activities have been organised throughout the world so that smokers and non-smokers do not encounter smoking-related health problems in society. One such activity is the combined health warnings designed to be printed on cigarette packets. The warnings on cigarette packets are considered as an instrument of education to develop the desired attitudes in individuals by improving their knowledge of health. This research aims to evaluate the effects of 14 co...

What are the differences in decisional balance and self-efficacy between Turkish smokers in different stages of change?
Yalcinkaya-Alkar, Ozden; Karancı, Ayşe Nuray (2007-04-01)
This paper reports the results of an examination of decisional balance (pros and cons of smoking), and selfefficacy constructs, sociodemographic and smoking-related variables among smokers from different stages of change as proposed by the transtheoretical model. A convenience sample of 398 smokers completed the research instrument. Almost 60% of the sample were in the precontemplation stage. The results indicated that pros of smoking dropped significantly from precontemplation to contemplation and preparat...
