WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Smoking Behavior Type Questionnaire Test

addictionsmoking

This questionnaire is used to characterize patterns and motives associated with cigarette smoking. The Smoking Behavior Type Questionnaire is intended to help identify common motivational drivers (e.g., habit, affect regulation, social/contextual cues) that may inform clinical formulation and intervention planning.

Developed by Horn, D., the measure consists of 18 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Responses are organized to highlight relative prominence of different smoking-related motives, supporting structured discussion in counseling, treatment planning, and research contexts. In applied settings, the Smoking Behavior Type Questionnaire may be used to guide goal setting, target high-risk situations, and monitor changes in smoking motivation over time.
