This study investigated the relationship between lay theories of cigarette smoking and expectations to smoke. An incremental lay theory of smoking entails the belief that smoking behavior can change; an entity theory entails the belief that smoking behavior cannot change. Undergraduate nonsmokers and smokers completed a survey that assessed lay theories of smoking and smoking expectations. Results demonstrated that lay theories of smoking were differentially associated with smoking expectations for nonsmokers and smokers: stronger incremental beliefs were associated with greater expectations of trying smoking for nonsmokers but lower expectations of becoming a regular smoker for smokers. Implications for interventions are discussed.
本研究调查了关于吸烟的外行理论与吸烟期望之间的关系。一种渐进的吸烟外行理论认为吸烟行为可以改变；而实体理论则认为吸烟行为无法改变。本科非吸烟者和吸烟者完成了一项调查，该调查评估了吸烟的外行理论和吸烟期望。结果表明，吸烟的外行理论与非吸烟者和吸烟者的吸烟期望存在差异关联：更强的渐进信念与非吸烟者尝试吸烟的更高期望相关，但与吸烟者成为常规吸烟者的更低期望相关。文中讨论了对干预措施的启示。
