How Peers Perceive the Female Adolescent Smoker.
Germer, Paulette; Miller, Richard E.
Journal of School Health, v54 n8 p285-87 Sep 1984
Data were collected from high school students to observe peers' perceptions of two fictional adolescent females--one a smoker, the other a nonsmoker. Findings suggest that peers perceived the personality traits of the smoker more negatively than the nonsmoking counterpart. Recommendations are made for health educators. (Author/DF)
