简介：电子烟依赖性测量主要集中在与尼古丁使用有关的电子烟使用（“vaping”），以及评估可能影响使用的vaping感官方面的测量（例如，口味）范围有限。因此，我们开发了新的感官电子烟期望量表（SEES）。方法：2017年夏季，610名成年电子烟使用者（48.7%男性，84.9%白色，37.41[+/- 12.15]岁）完成了一项在线调查，其中包括23个SEES项目。心理测量分析包括评估潜在结构、内部一致性、测量不变性、平均差异和测试标准关系。结果：因子分析支持9项、3个分量表结构（味觉/嗅觉、愉悦/满意度、蒸汽云产生）。子量表通过性别、种族、吸烟状态（当前/否）、电子烟状态（每日/否）、电子烟液尼古丁含量（是/否）和设备类型（香烟/电子烟笔/高级个人汽化器[APV]/Mods）证明了内部一致性和标量不变性。女性和日常电子烟使用者报告的味觉/嗅觉和快感比他们的同行更强。非白色参与者报告的云生产SEES比白色参与者更强。与APV/mod用户相比，类似于APV/mod的用户报告了最弱的味道/气味SEES和与云生产相关的较弱SEES。SEES评分与尼古丁依赖一致（平均r = 0.36）。最后，SEES分数预测vaping频率和习惯vaping同时和增量超出尼古丁dependence.Conclusions：SEES证明了良好的心理特性，这表明该措施可用于评估感官vaping预期在成年人。重要的是，SEES评分表明感官期望与尼古丁依赖相关，但又不同。未来的研究应该评估SEES如何与产品特征偏好和电子烟模式相关，包括成瘾的发展和维持。
Introduction: E-cigarette dependence measures largely focus on e-cigarette use ("vaping") that is linked to nicotine use, and measures assessing sensory aspects of vaping that may influence use (e.g., taste) are limited in scope. Thus, we developed the novel Sensory E-cigarette Expectancies Scale (SEES).Methods: In Summer 2017, 610 adult e-cigarette users (48.7% male, 84.9% White, 37.41[+/- 12.15] years old) completed an online survey that included 23 SEES items. Psychometric analyses included evaluating latent structure, internal consistency, measurement invariance, mean differences, and test-criterion relationships.Results: Factor analyses supported a 9-item, 3-subscale structure (taste/smell, pleasure/satisfaction, vapor cloud production). Subscales evidenced internal consistency and scalar invariance by sex, race, smoking status (current/not), vaping status (daily/not), e-liquid nicotine content (yes/no), and device type (cig-a-likes/vape-pens/Advanced Personal Vaporizers [APVs]/Mods). Women and daily e-cigarette users reported stronger SEEs for taste/smell and pleasure than their counterparts. Non-white participants reported stronger SEES for cloud production than White participants. Cig-a-like users reported the weakest SEES for taste/smell and weaker SEES linked to cloud production than APV/mod users. SEES scores evidenced convergence with nicotine dependence (mean r = .36). Finally, SEES scores predicted vaping frequency and habitual vaping concurrently and incrementally beyond nicotine dependence.Conclusions: The SEES evidenced good psychometric properties, suggesting that the measure can be used to assess sensory vaping expectancies in adults. Importantly, SEES scores indicated that sensory expectancies are related, yet distinct, from nicotine dependence. Future research should evaluate how SEES relate to product characteristic preferences and patterns of vaping including the development and maintenance of addiction.
