这篇论文是有关的意义和过程同伴压力与吸烟行为在青春期前和青春期的学生。先前的研究表明，吸烟的孩子会通过强迫、戏弄、欺凌和被理想群体拒绝等策略，使不吸烟的同龄人染上吸烟的习惯。在这项研究中，不同的方法从同一名学生中引出了不同的初次吸烟情况。虽然角色扮演引发了刻板印象中的强迫和欺凌场景，但自我完成的问卷调查和焦点小组的结果与这些描述相矛盾，并表明这个过程更为复杂，包含了强烈的自主行为因素。这项研究突出了使用单一研究方法来理解复杂过程的问题。结果表明，个人在开始吸烟方面发挥的作用比以前所认识到的更为积极，需要考虑到同伴压力以外的社会过程。
This paper is concerned with the meaning and the processes of peer pressure in relation to smoking behaviour amongst pre-adolescent and adolescent pupils. Previous research suggests that children who smoke cause their non-smoking peers to take up the habit through strategies such as coercion, teasing, bullying and rejection from a desired group. In this study different methods elicited different accounts of initial smoking situations from the same pupils. While role-play elicited stereotypical scenes of coercion and bullying, results from a self-complete questionnaire and focus groups conflicted with these accounts and suggested that the process was more complex and included strong elements of self-determined behaviour. This study highlights the problems of using a single research method to understand complex processes. Results suggest that individuals play a more active role in starting to smoke than has previously been acknowledged and that social processes other than peer pressure need to be taken into account Possible implications for health education programmes are far reaching.
