Further, the MCQ can differentiate reliably between craving factors [ 42], but a theoretical framework should be developed further, which is beyond the scope of this paper.
To control for other variables, baseline weekly cannabis use (in grams), CUDIT score, DSM-IV criteria-count, craving factors (pre post-test average) and neutral bias score were entered first, after which the apre post-testwaveragered.
Craving scores for each factor were obtained by summing item scales.
The MCQ-SF is a Likert-based, 12-item self-assessment instrument for situational cannabis craving measurement with four factors (compulsivity, emotionality, expectancy, and purposefulness).
DTQ factors predicted craving independently of level of alcohol use.
Potential modulators of craving other than personality factors were investigated through Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Pearson's correlation test.
Ninety-five treatment-seeking withn with substance dependence, abstinent for at least 5 and no more than 21 days, were investigated regarding the correlation between personality factors and craving.
The scores on both BDI and BAI co-varied up to a considerable extent (r =.654; p <.001), and a further stepwise multiple regression procedure showed that depression and days of abstinence combined was the best model accounting for modulators of craving other than personality factors.
Editors also crave an impact factor for the article they publish, namely, to be prominently cited in the scientific press and lay media.
GEMA surveys captured internal and external situational factors (e.g., craving intensity, location type, seeing others smoking).
