调查了青少年对吸烟者和无烟烟草使用者的看法。参与者是佛罗里达州农村的562名中学生，他们观看了一位假想的同龄人(即演员)的6盘录像带，这位同龄人很快就会进入他们的学校。录像带的不同之处仅在于性别(男孩或女孩)和烟草状况(没有烟草、香烟、无烟烟草)。在观看录像带后，参与者完成了两项旨在评估对同伴的态度和行为意图的测量。结果表明：(A)无烟条件下的演员比其他两种条件下的演员获得的评价更高，尽管无烟条件下的演员比吸烟条件下的演员获得的评价更好；(B)女孩对无烟条件下的演员的评价比男孩更好；(C)与不吸烟的人相比，有吸烟史的青少年对吸烟条件下的演员的评价更好。综上所述，结果表明，不同类型的烟草使用可能会对青少年群体中的社会形象产生不同的影响。
Examined adolescents' perceptions of cigarette smokers and smokeless tobacco users. Participants were 562 middle school students in rural Florida who viewed I of 6 videotapes of a hypothetical peer (i.e., actor) who would soon be attending their school. The videotapes differed only as a function of sex (boy or girl) and tobacco condition (no tobacco, cigarette, smokeless tobacco). After viewing the videotape, participants completed 2 measures designed to assess attitudes and behavioral intentions toward the peer. Results indicated that (a) the actor in the no-tobacco condition was rated more favorably than actors in the other two conditions, although the actor in the smokeless-tobacco condition was rated more favorably than the actor in the cigarette condition; (b) girls viewed the actor in smokeless-tobacco condition more favorably than did boys; (c) compared to nonsmokers, adolescents with a cigarette use history provided more favorable ratings for the actor in the cigarette condition. Taken together, results suggest that different types of tobacco use may have a different impact on social image within the young adolescent population.
