在这项研究中，作者比较了小组成员和小组外的人对朋友吸烟影响的易感性。7年级不吸烟，观察1年。与他们的假设一致，作者发现，与小组成员相比，小组外的人（没有互惠朋友的人）更容易受到他们最好朋友吸烟的影响，也更容易受到他们朋友吸烟的总体水平的影响。此外，对于那些非常关心朋友对自己吸毒反应的青少年来说，这种同伴影响是最强的。此外，吸烟状态的一致性与互惠友谊的形成有关，而不是与友谊的破裂有关。结果表明，青少年可能将吸烟视为进入理想友谊群体的一种手段。作者提出了预防计划可能解决青少年开始吸烟的机制的方法。
In this study, the authors compared group members' and group outsiders' susceptibility to the influence of their friends' smoking. Ss were nonsmokers in Grade 7 who were observed for 1 year. Consistent with their hypothesis, the authors found that group outsiders (Ss who did not have reciprocal friends) were affected more by the smoking of their best friend and by the overall level of smoking among their friends than group members were. Furthermore, this peer influence was strongest for teens who were very concerned about their friends' reactions to their substance use. In addition, consistency in smoking status was related to the formation, but not the breakdown, of reciprocal friendships. Results indicated that teenagers may view smoking as a vehicle for entering a desired friendship group. The authors suggest ways that prevention programs might address this mechanism for adolescent smoking initiation.
