The Theory of Planned Behavior, Domain Specific Self-Efficacy and Adolescent Smoking.

Maher, Robynne A.; Rickwood, Debra

Journal of Child and Adolescent Substance Abuse, v6 n3 p57-76 1997

Used the theory of planned behavior in a sample of 15- and 16-year-old students (N=285), to create a comprehensive model for predictors of adolescent smoking. Students with lower conduct/morality self-efficacy had more positive attitudes toward smoking. Discusses results in terms of potential interventions to discourage adolescent smoking. (RJM)
