Adolescents who smoke are more likely to escalate their smoking frequency if they believe smoking is self-defining. Knowing factors that are associated with development of a smoker identity among adolescents who smoke may help to identify who will become a regular smoker. We investigated whether smoker identity development is associated with internal and external motives for smoking. For comparison, we also investigated whether social smoker identity development is associated with internal and external motives for smoking. Adolescents who smoke (n = 292) completed measures of smoker and social smoker identity, internal motives for smoking (negative affect coping, positive affect enhancement), and external motives for smoking (social fit) at baseline, 6-, 15-, and 24-month assessments of an ongoing longitudinal study of smoking patterns. We examined whether change in smoker and social smoker identity from 6 to 24 months was associated with change in motives at earlier assessment waves. We also explored whether gender moderated these relationships. Increases in negative affect coping motives were associated with smoker identity development among both males and females. Increases in social motives were associated with smoker identity development among males, and increases in negative affect coping motives were associated with social smoker identity development among females. Smoker and social smoker identities are signaled by negative affect coping as well as social motives for smoking. (PsycINFO Database Record
如果认为吸烟是自我定义的一部分，吸烟的青少年更有可能提高其吸烟频率。了解与吸烟青少年中吸烟者身份形成相关的因素，可能有助于识别谁会成为经常吸烟者。我们调查了吸烟者身份发展是否与吸烟的内部和外部动机相关。为作比较，我们还调查了社交吸烟者身份发展是否与吸烟的内部和外部动机相关。在一项正在进行的吸烟模式纵向研究的基线、6个月、15个月和24个月评估中，吸烟的青少年（n = 292）完成了吸烟者和社交吸烟者身份、吸烟的内部动机（消极情绪应对、积极情绪增强）以及吸烟的外部动机（社交适应）的测量。我们研究了从6个月到24个月吸烟者和社交吸烟者身份的变化是否与早期评估阶段动机的变化相关。我们还探讨了性别是否调节了这些关系。消极情绪应对动机的增加与男性和女性的吸烟者身份发展都相关。社交动机的增加与男性的吸烟者身份发展相关，消极情绪应对动机的增加与女性的社交吸烟者身份发展相关。吸烟者和社交吸烟者身份通过消极情绪应对以及吸烟的社交动机表现出来。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》 ）
