Tobacco dependence is a key construct in tobacco research. This paper describes a construct validation approach to dependence assessment and describes key conceptual and psychometric criteria on which to evaluate putative measures of dependence. Five current dependence scales-the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence; the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.); the Cigarette Dependence Scale; the Nicotine Dependence Syndrome Scale; and the Wisconsin Inventory of…

Assessing dimensions of nicotine dependence: an evaluation of the Nicotine Dependence Syndrome Scale (NDSS) and the Wisconsin Inventory of Smoking Dependence Motives (WISDM).
TLDR
Results reveal that NDSS and WISDM subscales are related to important dependence criteria, but in a heterogeneous fashion and suggest that there are important underlying mechanisms or motives that are significantly related to different important outcomes, such as withdrawal and cessation.
A Comparison of the Fagerström Test for Cigarette Dependence and Cigarette Dependence Scale in a Treatment-Seeking Sample of Pregnant Smokers.
TLDR
Suboptimal reliability estimates and failure to predict short-term smoking call into question the value of including either of the brief measures in studies that aim to explain the obstacles to smoking cessation during pregnancy.
DSM criteria for tobacco use disorder and tobacco withdrawal: a critique and proposed revisions for DSM-5.
TLDR
The use and utility of DSM-5 will be enhanced by eliminating most DSM-IV criteria and adding new ones based on smoking pattern, smoking heaviness, and the severity of craving during periods of smoking and withdrawal.
Refining the tobacco dependence phenotype using the Wisconsin Inventory of Smoking Dependence Motives.
TLDR
The results suggest that a pattern of smoking that is heavy, pervasive, automatic, and relatively unresponsive to instrumental contingencies is a necessary and sufficient condition for severe nicotine dependence.
Evaluating the validities of different DSM-IV-based conceptual constructs of tobacco dependence.
TLDR
Although the findings do not provide a compelling alternative to the full set of DSM-IV nicotine dependence criteria, its poor psychometric properties and low predictive power limit its clinical and research utility.
What Aspect of Dependence Does the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence Measure?
TLDR
The FTND and its six items, including the HSI, consistently showed the strongest correlations with withdrawal, suggesting that the behaviors described by the items of the FTND are primarily indicative of a difficulty maintaining abstinence because of withdrawal symptoms.
E-cigarette Dependence Measures in Dual Users: Reliability and Relations with Dependence Criteria and E-Cigarette Cessation.
TLDR
All 3 measures appear to be valid measures of e-cigarette dependence as suggested by their significant relations with self-perceived addiction, heavy use, early use after overnight deprivation, and continued use over time.
Refining the tobacco dependence phenotype using the Wisconsin Inventory of Smoking Dependence Motives: II. Evidence from a laboratory self-administration assay.
TLDR
The PDM appears to index core features of tobacco dependence, but susceptibility to deprivation-contingent distress and craving may be better indexed by SDM, and results support a 2-factor model of dependence.
Time to first cigarette in the morning as an index of ability to quit smoking: implications for nicotine dependence.

TLDR
Results showed that much of the predictive validity of the FTND could be attributed to its first item, time to first cigarette in the morning, and this item had greater validity than any other single measure.
Are tobacco dependence and withdrawal related amongst heavy smokers? Relevance to conceptualizations of dependence.
TLDR
The findings support models that accord an important role for associative processes and withdrawal symptoms, especially craving, in drug dependence and support the use of withdrawal variables as criteria for the evaluation of dependence measures.

A multiple motives approach to tobacco dependence: the Wisconsin Inventory of Smoking Dependence Motives (WISDM-68).
TLDR
This research creates a multidimensional measure of dependence that is based on theoretically grounded motives for drug use and is intended to reflect mechanisms underlying dependence.
A multidimensional model for characterizing tobacco dependence.
TLDR
The hypothesis that tobacco dependence is multidimensional is supported after two competing models for dependence representing a hybrid of the FTQ/FTND and the Smoking Motives Questionnaire were identified.
Measurement properties of a nicotine dependence scale for adolescents.
TLDR
The NDSA was positively correlated with lifetime number of cigarettes smoked, cigarettes smoked per day on days smoked, and number of quit attempts, and negatively correlated with the length of the quit attempt.

TLDR
CDS-12 and CDS-5 are reliable measures of cigarette dependence which fulfill several criteria of content validity and construct validity and are sensitive to change over time.

Measuring nicotine dependence: A review of the Fagerstrom Tolerance Questionnaire
TLDR
The findings indicate that the FTQ correlates with other proposed measures of nicotine dependence (carbon monoxide, nicotine, and cotinine levels), and the connection between FTQ scores and withdrawal symptoms is weak.
Predicting smoking cessation and major depression in nicotine-dependent smokers.
TLDR
The more a measure of dependence is based exclusively on level of daily smoking, the greater is its ability to predict cessation and the number of DSM-III-R behavioral symptoms might be an indicator of severity of dependence or of personality traits, which in turn might be associated with major depression.
