Reasons for Quitting Scale
| Schizophrenia | Normal Controls | Statistics | Adjusted P Value | |
| Total score | 37.7 ± 18.8 | 41.6 ± 16.1 | t = 1.57, df = 196, P = .12 | P = .14 |
| Level of intrinsic relative to extrinsic motivation | 1.0 ± 1.4 | 1.7 ± 1.5 | t = 3.67, df = 196, P = .0003 | P = .002 |
| Health concerns (intrinsic) | 2.2 ± 1.3 | 2.8 ± 1.0 | t = 3.43, df = 196, P = .0007 | P = .002 |
| Self-control (intrinsic) | 2.0 ± 1.1 | 2.2 ± 1.1 | t = 1.33, df = 196, P = .18 | P = .18 |
| Immediate reinforcement (extrinsic) | 2.0 ± 1.1 | 2.3 ± 0.9 | t = 2.39, df = 196, P = .02 | P = .04 |
| Social pressure (extrinsic) | 1.3 ± 1.1 | 1.0 ± 1.0 | t = −2.17, df = 196, P = .03 | P = .047 |
Note: The Reasons for Quitting Scale scoring: 0, not at all true; 1, a little true; 2, moderately true; 3, quite true; and 4, extremely true. All dimensions contain 5 questions that ask, eg, “I would consider quitting smoking because I am concerned that I will suffer from a serious illness if I don't quit smoking.” Higher scores indicated a greater consideration of the dimension in quitting smoking. Post hoc comparisons included inpatient and outpatient differences. Immediate reinforcement was rated higher in the outpatients (2.1 ± 1.1) compared with inpatient groups (1.7 ± 1.0) (t = 2.5, df = 196, adjusted P = .035). No other differences were noted by hospitalization status.
