title: Some methodological cautions in the use of the Tolerance Questionnaire.
abstract: Both factor analysis and internal consistency analyses indicate that the items of the Tolerance Questionnaire do not form a unidimensional measure of an underlying construct. Implications of these findings are discussed. The importance of considering smoking rate, one of the scales' eight items, when interpreting validity correlations is emphasized.
