Predicting Smoking Intentions and Behaviors from Attitudes, Normative Beliefs, and Emotional Arousal.

Beck, Kenneth H.; Davis, Clive M.

Social Behavior and Personality, v8 n2 p185-92 1980

Findings revealed that smoking-related intentions were more strongly associated with attitudes toward smoking than with subjective normative beliefs or emotional arousal. (RC)
