Note. No means were statistically significantly different from each other. All means and SDs presented here were backtransformed from the transformation used to construct a more normal distribution. Log10 transformation was performed on can avoid addiction, worry, and delayed harm. Square root and exponential transformations were performed on judgment and quitting self-efficacy, respectively. The remaining variables were not transformed.
