The present study investigated the predictors of smoking intentions among subgroups of adolescent nonsmokers, examining age, sex, ethnic, and regional differences. Both proximal factors specific to smoking and more general, distal factors were successful predictors of intentions to smoke. The similarities in prediction outweighed the differences between demographic subgroups. There were three demographic differences: (1) peer and family smoking levels were more important in predicting intentions for girls than boys; (2) smoking initiation was more of a way of adopting deviant or problem behavior for midwestern than for southwestern subjects; (3) familial smoking models were more related to the intentions of midwestern than southwestern subjects. The theoretical significance of these results and their practical implications for smoking prevention are discussed.
本研究调查了青少年非吸烟者亚组中吸烟意图的预测因素，考察了年龄、性别、种族和地区差异。特定于吸烟的近端因素以及更普遍的远端因素都是吸烟意图的成功预测指标。预测方面的相似性超过了人口统计学亚组之间的差异。存在三个与人口统计学相关的差异：（1）在预测吸烟意图方面，同伴和家庭吸烟水平对女孩比对男孩更重要；（2）对于中西部地区的受试者而言，开始吸烟更多地是一种采取越轨或问题行为的方式，而对于西南部地区的受试者则不然；（3）家庭吸烟模式与中西部地区受试者的意图比与西南部地区受试者的意图联系更紧密。本文讨论了这些结果的理论意义及其对吸烟预防的实际影响。
