Abstract

Introduction: Influence or peer pressure is one of the leading factors in developing cigarette smoking habits in university students; however, no effective strategy to assess this phenomenon has been developed yet. This study aimed to adapt and validate the peer pressure resistance scale to conventional cigarette consumption. Materials and methods: A total of 237 university students from the Nuevo León State (Mexico), aged 18–24 years, were enrolled. Exploratory factor and reliability analyses, the Spearman correlation, and the Kruskal–Wallis test were performed. Results: 63.3% of the participants who started to smoke conventional cigarettes were women, and the mean age was 19.66 years. The exploratory analysis extracted two factors with a total of 13 items. A Cronbach’s alpha of 0.81 was found. Statistically significant differences between consumers of conventional cigarettes and peer pressure resistance scores [H(4) = 23.85; p < .001] were found. Conclusions: The peer pressure resistance scale showed appropriate psychometric properties for assessing the peer pressure to smoke conventional cigarettes in university students.
