This study examined the intergenerational transmission of implicit and explicit attitudes toward smoking, as well as the role of these attitudes in adolescents' smoking initiation. There was evidence of intergenerational transmission of implicit attitudes. Mothers who had more positive implicit attitudes had children with more positive implicit attitudes. In turn, these positive implicit attitudes of adolescents predicted their smoking initiation 18-months later. Moreover, these effects were obtained above and beyond the effects of explicit attitudes. These findings provide the first evidence that the intergenerational transmission of implicit cognition may play a role in the intergenerational transmission of an addictive behavior.
本研究考察了对吸烟的内隐态度和外显态度的代际传递,以及这些态度在青少年开始吸烟中所起的作用。有证据表明存在内隐态度的代际传递。具有更积极内隐态度的母亲,其孩子也具有更积极的内隐态度。反过来,青少年的这些积极内隐态度预示着他们在18个月后开始吸烟。此外,这些效应独立于外显态度的效应之外。这些发现首次证明,内隐认知的代际传递可能在成瘾行为的代际传递中发挥作用。
