Glad, Wayne; Adesso, Vincent J.
Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 85, 1, 119-21, Feb 76
The purposes of this experiment were to determine (a) whether socially stimulated smoking (behavior contagion) occurs, (b) if evaluation by others is tension producing and if subjects smoke to reduce that tension, (c) if a relaxed social atmosphere would be conducive to smoking, and (d) if sex differences exist in smoking behavior.
