应对策略可能会影响青少年的吸烟行为，因为它们提供了促进或抑制吸烟的替代行为和认知渠道，或者因为它们是对吸烟或不吸烟的一般应对努力的表达。本研究考察了应对策略和应对努力作为青少年吸烟预测因子的三种可能性：(1)不吸烟的一般应对努力可能比具体的应对策略更好地预测青少年吸烟行为；(2)应对策略可能相对更好地预测吸烟行为；或(3)这两个结构可能相对更好地预测吸烟行为的不同参数。分析策略包括计算一系列多元回归模型，涉及(A)以前在青少年吸烟研究中研究的11种应对策略，(B)新的简单衡量不吸烟的应对努力，以及(C)感知的压力，作为四个与吸烟相关的项目的同时预测因子。在11种应对策略中，聚会、放松、寻求精神指导和报复至少与四种吸烟方式中的一种有关。只有应对努力与最近吸烟行为直接相关，而只有应对策略与累积吸烟有关。两种类型的条目都能预测拒绝自我效能感和未来吸烟意向。显然，这两类项目既有独特的预测性差异，也有共同的预测性差异。这些结果表明，应对策略与累积吸烟有关，而不是出于不吸烟的动机。
Coping strategies may influence adolescent smoking behavior because they provide alternative behavioral and cognitive outlets which facilitate or inhibit smoking, or because they are expressions of general coping effort to smoke or not smoke. The present investigation examined three possibilities regarding how coping strategies versus coping effort compare as predictors of adolescent smoking: (1) general coping effort to not smoke may be a better predictor of adolescent smoking behaviors than are specific coping strategies; (2) coping strategies may be relatively better predictors of smoking behaviors; or (3) these two constructs may be relatively better predictors of different parameters of smoking behavior. Analytic strategies included calculation of a series of multiple regression models, involving (a) 11 coping strategies previously studied in adolescent smoking research, (b) a new simple measure of coping effort to not smoke, and (c) perceived stress, as concurrent predictors of four smoking-related items. Of the 11 coping strategies, partying, relaxation, seeking spiritual guidance, and getting revenge were related to at least one of the four cigarette smoking items. Only coping effort was directly related to recent smoking behavior, whereas only the coping strategies were related to cumulative smoking. Both types of items predicted refusal self-efficacy and intention to smoke in the future. Apparently, these two types of items show unique as well as common predictive variance. These results suggest that coping strategies are related to cumulative smoking for reasons other than motivation to not smoke.
