Note. N = 1365. For each outcome, combined models were conducted including all six simultaneous predictors. Significant effects (p < .05) are bolded.

a

Includes only individuals who achieved initial abstinence (n = 1205).

b

Includes only individuals who lapsed (n = 892).

c

Logistic regression model.

d

Cox proportional hazards regression survival model.

e

Models adjusted for only treatment (dummy coded to categorize all six conditions).

f

Standardized Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire—Brief Form scores (M = 0, SD = 1).

g

Models adjusted for treatment (dummy coded to categorize all six conditions), age, gender, ethnicity and Fagerström Test of Nicotine Dependence score.

h

Effect significant after holm correction within the family of tests for that predictor.
