A new model of change is proposed, based on the assumption that cognitive and behavioral processes of change basically follow inverse-U-shaped patterns of variation as smokers move toward effective change: Each process is first increasingly used, up to a maximum value, and then decreases. It is argued that such a model of data is properly dealt with by unfolding models specially designed for those cases. A theoretical foundation for an unfolding model of change is proposed, based on probabilistic reasoning first developed by D. Andrich and G. Luo (1993). An illustrative analysis on responses of 140 French smokers to C. C. DiClemente and J. O. Prochaska's (1985) Processes of Change Questionnaire is presented, which yields a very satisfactory unidimensional solution, along which items' locations are in convergence with previous longitudinal studies in the stage-of-change tradition and smokers' locations appear to be a good predictor of actual quitting. Numerous latent trait models for the measurement of attitudes and cognitive abilities have been proposed (Andrich, 1978b; Bock, 1972; Lord, 1952; Masters, 1982; Muraki, 1992; Samejima, 1969) that have expanded and sophisticated probabilistic response models initially proposed by Rasch (1960) in a tradition of psychological measurement that could be traced to Thurstone's (1927, 1928) seminal works. Extensions in the use of these models from structural traits measurement to longitudinal data analysis have been proposed (Fischer, 1989; Fischer & Parzer, 1991). In the structural equation modeling tradition, latent growth models are also available for the analysis of change (Duncan, Duncan, & Stoolmiller, 1994; Raykov, 1994). Those approaches, however, either assume a cumulative latent evolutionary process or require that repeated measures be available to estimate the (potentially nonlinear) growth function.
