This study examined the perception of social attractiveness and approval of smoking in a vignette of an American college female smoker after a failed quit attempt. It was hypothesized that she would be perceived more favorably when she was smoking to control her weight, compared to a non-weight related excuse during a failed quit attempt. The design was a 2 (gender: male vs. female)x4 (condition: control, 5, 10, 20 lb gain)x3 (participants' smoking status: never, former, or current smoker) factorial design with the Social Attraction Index and Perception of Smoking Index as dependent variables. Contrary to the hypothesis, perceptions of the female were not affected by her disclosed amount of weight gain. However, consistent with the literature on stigmatization of smokers, smoking participants perceived the female target as most socially attractive and nonsmokers perceived her to be the least attractive.
本研究通过一个美国大学女烟民戒烟尝试失败后的情景描述，考察了对社交吸引力的认知以及对吸烟的认可情况。研究假设，与戒烟尝试失败时非体重相关的借口相比，当她为控制体重而吸烟时，会被给予更积极的评价。研究设计为2（性别：男性与女性）×4（条件：控制组、体重增加5磅、10磅、20磅）×3（参与者吸烟状况：从不吸烟、曾经吸烟或当前吸烟者）析因设计，以社交吸引力指数和对吸烟的认知指数作为因变量。与假设相反，对该女性体重增加量的披露并未影响人们对她的看法。然而，与关于吸烟者污名化的文献一致，吸烟参与者认为女性目标最具社交吸引力，而非吸烟者则认为她最缺乏吸引力。
