Résumé :
This study investigates the combination of several psychological factors related to tobacco smoking to identify smokers' psychological profiles among French university students. A cluster analysis was performed on smoking motives, psychosocial variables, and the smoker identity (N = 909). Five profiles were identified and then compared regarding tobacco dependence and motivations to quit. "Normative" and "sociohedonist smokers" are characterized by two distinct social factors (normative influences and social motives) and moderate dependence. "Dependent identified smokers" have higher levels of dependence motives, smoker identity and tobacco dependence associated with low motivations to quit. "Inconsistent smokers" have weak smoker identity and weak smoking motives, a strong perceived control over resisting smoking, low dependence and motivations to quit. "Coping smokers" have strong sedative and addictive motives and exhibit moderate dependence and motivations to quit. This research encourages prevention programs to consider the diversity of student smokers with strategies adapted to their psychological profiles.
