This study examined the interconnection of maternal determinants and personality attributes of adolescent male tobacco users. The 39 mothers and their 39 sons were interviewed separately about their attitudes and the mother's child-rearing practices. The sons also responded to questions concerning their personality characteristics. In general, the findings indicated that adolescent tobacco use depends on the coexistence of certain personality predispositions and maternal conditions. Thus, with regard to personality factors, male smokers tended to be less in control of their impulses, less responsible and autonomous, more rebellious, and more likely to engage in interpersonal aggression. With respect to the coexisting maternal conditions, the mothers of smokers tended to be less traditional and affectionate, and less likely to serve as models for their sons.
本研究考察了青少年男性烟草使用者的母亲相关决定因素与人格特质之间的相互联系。分别对39位母亲及其39个儿子进行了访谈，了解他们的态度以及母亲的育儿方式。儿子们也回答了有关其人格特征的问题。总体而言，研究结果表明，青少年吸烟行为取决于某些人格倾向和母亲相关状况的共同存在。因此，在人格因素方面，男性吸烟者往往较难控制自己的冲动，责任心和自主性较差，更叛逆，且更有可能出现人际攻击行为。在并存的母亲相关状况方面，吸烟者的母亲往往不那么传统和慈爱，也不太可能为儿子树立榜样。
