2013, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :Therefore, a health education message that attempts to dispel the myth that smoking has social benefits would not resonate with this smoker, who believes that he/she smokes to relieve stress. Attribution research has been conducted to address cigarette smoking, a public health problem worldwide, among adolescents (Allbutt, Amos, & Cunningham-Burley, 1995; Aloise-Young, Hennigan, & Graham, 1996; Barton, Chassin, Presson, & Sherman, 1982; Cronan, Conway, & Kaszas, 1991; Kleinke, Staneski, & Meeker, 1983; McGee & Stanton, 1993; Rugkasa et al., 2001; Sarason, Mankowski, Peterson, & Dinh, 1992; Stanton, Mahalski, McGee, & Silva, 1993; Treacy et al., 2007). However, although previous attribution studies have identified self-reported cognitive attributions for smoking, they did not report whether those attributions were truly correlated with actual smoking behaviors, nor did they examine whether the attributions influenced future smoking behaviors.
Do cognitive attributions for smoking predict subsequent smoking development?
2012, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :To design more effective smoking prevention and cessation program, it is better to not only understand cognitive attributions and their associations with current smoking behaviors, but also understand their influences on subsequent smoking behaviors and the underlying mechanisms of those influences, so that relevant issues can be addressed in health communication curricula. Most previous attribution studies have been conducted in western countries (Berlin et al., 2003; Eiser, Sutton, & Wober, 1977; Jenks, 1994b; Kleinke et al., 1983; Sarason et al., 1992). Few have been conducted in China, where smoking has caused more than 600 million people, 72% of the total population including 60% of female non-smokers of childbearing age, to be either directly or indirectly exposed to cigarette smoke (Yang et al., 1999).
Cognitive attributions for smoking among adolescents in China
2010, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :Several studies have identified cognitive attributions for smoking by asking people directly why they and other people initiate, maintain, or become addicted to smoking (Allbutt, Amos, & Cunningham-Burley, 1995; Rugkasa et al., 2001; Sarason, Mankowski, Peterson, & Dinh, 1992; Treacy et al., 2007). However, most of these studies have not assessed the relative importance of attributions to the individual, and most have not linked cognitive attributions with actual smoking behaviors to determine which are most influential (Kleinke, Staneski, & Meeker, 1983). A comprehensive investigation about cognitive attributions, their relative importance, and their associations with actual smoking behaviors could provide a better understanding about how people rationalize their decisions about smoking, which could be helpful in the design of more effective health communications for smoking cessation and prevention.
