The aim of this study was to examine the effects of perceived parental attitudes on children's discernment of cigarettes.
The study sample consisted of 250 children attending grades 6, 7 and 8. Data were collected via a socio-demographic survey questionnaire, the Parental Attitude Scale (PAS) and the Decisional Balance Scale (DBS). Data analysis covered percentages, medians, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc tests using a statistical package.
There were 250 participants; 117 were male, 133 were female. The mean age was 13.1 ± 0.98 for the females and 13.3 ± 0.88 for the males. A statistically significant difference was found in the children's mean scores for 'pros' subscale on the Decisional Balance Scale (DBS) according to perceived parental attitudes (F=3.172, p=0.025). There were no statistically significant differences in the DBS 'cons' subscale scores by perceived parental attitudes.
It was determined that while perceived parental attitudes affect children's views on advantages of smoking, they have no effect on children's views on its disadvantages.
本研究旨在探讨父母感知态度对儿童香烟辨别能力的影响。
研究样本包括250名六、七、八年级的学生。通过社会人口调查问卷、父母态度量表（PAS）和决策平衡量表（DBS）收集数据。数据分析包括使用统计软件包计算百分比、中位数、单因素方差分析（ANOVA）和事后检验。
共有250名参与者，其中117名男性，133名女性。女性的平均年龄为13.1±0.98岁，男性为13.3±0.88岁。根据父母感知态度，儿童在决策平衡量表（DBS）“支持”子量表上的平均得分存在统计学显著差异（F=3.172，p=0.025）。父母感知态度在DBS“反对”子量表得分上无统计学显著差异。
研究确定，父母感知态度虽会影响儿童对吸烟益处的看法，但对儿童对吸烟危害的看法没有影响。
