The Effect of a Video Character's Smoking Status on Young Females' Perceptions of Social Characteristics.

Jones, Brett; Carroll, Marie

Adolescence, v33 n131 p657-67 Fall 1998

University students viewed a young woman in a socially oriented role-play that portrayed either a smoker or a nonsmoker. Smoker was rated more outgoing and sophisticated, less easy to manipulate, and less emotional than nonsmoker. No differences were found on other measures. Results are related to previous studies.
