“…Gilliard and Bruchan-Schweiter's (2001) smoking scale identified such benefits as pleasure on lighting and handling cigarettes, enjoying watching smoke, and taking direct pleasure from the act of smoking. Similar benefits have also been reported by Denscombe (2001a), Mayhew et al (2000), Moffatt and Johnson (2001) and McKie, Laurier, Taylor and Lennox (2003).…”

This Q-methodological study identified shared subjective explanations of smoking among non-smokers, current smokers and ex-smokers, to consider whether some representations were protective or facilitated quitting. Four factors were identified: named independent addiction; independent non-addiction; anti-smoking; and social addiction. The first two factors were dominated by current and ex-smokers, and the last two by non-smokers. Differences emerged on the use of the `addiction' concept, the use of smoking as a tool for affect management, the role of image manipulation and the general positive and negative perceptions of smoking. The functional use of the different shared smoking representations is discussed.

“…En el segundo caso, la homofilia es el resultado de un proceso de socialización en el que los individuos se influencian mutuamente una vez que han iniciado una determinada relación (Burk, Kerr & Stattin, 2008;Prinstein & Dodge, 2008). El efecto de influencia no debe confundirse con la llamada presión de pares, que es característica en las interacciones de drogas al interior de grupos de amigos (Denscombe, 2001;McIntosh, MacDonald & McKeganey, 2006). La mayor parte de la influencia se ejerce de un modo implícito, a través de modelos y normas que indican lo que es correcto, normal o aceptable dentro de una determinada relación.…”

Este estudio pretende establecer los niveles de homogeneidad de pares -a veces llamada homofilia en la literatura especializada-que se encuentra en el uso de tabaco, alcohol y marihuana en relaciones de amistad en la adolescencia temprana. Se utilizan datos longitudinales que identifican díadas de amistad entre alumnos de 7º y 8º grado provenientes de una muestra representativa de población escolarizada de la Región Metropolitana de Chile. También se ofrecen estimaciones sobre el origen de la homofilia observada, sea como resultado de procesos de selección, en los que la similitud precede a la amistad, o de influencia, en la que, por el contrario, la amistad conduce a la concordancia de pares. Los resultados muestran que la iniciación en el uso de drogas se realiza en ambientes moderadamente concordantes y que los efectos de influencia predominan sobre los de selección. Palabras clave: drogas, efecto de pares, adolescenciaThis study seeks to establish levels of peer homogeneity -sometimes called homophily in the literature-in the use of tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana in friendship relations in early adolescence. Longitudinal data from a representative sample of school population of the Metropolitan Region of Chile was used to identify friendship dyads between students in 7 th and 8 th grades. Additionally, some estimates about the origin of the observed homophily are provided, as a result of selection processes in which similarity precedes friendship or, alternatively, as a result of influence processes where friendship leads to matching pairs. The results show that initiation into drugs takes place in environments that are moderately homogeneous and that influence effects are more important than selection effects.

“…Based on a number of case studies, researchers reported mixed results in explaining whether peer pressure could close the gap between theory and practice in terms of teleworker compliance to security policy. The problem appeared to be even more difficult in the context of government agencies, if only because teleworking has been initiated more slowly in the public sector, as opposed to the private sector, and many managers remain wary of security problems they believe to be inherent to mobile computing and telework (Baginsky, 2004;Denscombe, 2001;Farmer, 2005;Gross, 2008;Hayes, 2008;Hines, 2007;Maier & Sametinger, 2004;Regan, 2003;Spitzmuller & Stanton, 2006;Thibodeau, 2007;Vijayan, 2009). …”

“…Peer pressure as a construct has become a basic tenet of research on youth behavior, with some influence in studies of adults in workplaces (Baginsky, 2004;Denscombe, 2001;Farmer, 2005;Gross, 2008;Hayes, 2008;Hines, 2007;Maier & Sametinger, 2004;Regan, 2003;Spitzmuller & Stanton, 2006;Thibodeau, 2007;Vijayan, 2009). For example, in a study of teen smoking, it was proposed that peer pressure contributed the most to the initiation of smoking, and programs to prevent smoking involve "the development of 'life skills' to combat such peer pressure" (Denscombe, 2001, p. 8).…”

“…The TPB has been used in several studies to explain compliance or resistance by employees to adhere to security policies (Booker & Kitchens, 2010;Booker, Rebman, & Kitchens, 2009;Bulgurcu, Cavusoglu, & Benbasat, 2010;Dinev & Hu, 2007;Herath & Rao, 2009). Because the majority of research on teleworkers and data security have been conducted on federal agencies, several case studies that examined problems of security in federal agencies will be reviewed (Baginsky, 2004;Denscombe, 2001;Farmer, 2005;Gross, 2008;Hayes, 2008;Hines, 2007;Maier & Sametinger, 2004;Regan, 2003;Spitzmuller & Stanton, 2006;Thibodeau, 2007;Vijayan, 2009). …”

With the increased use of teleworkers, it is important to understand how teleworker attitudes are related to willingness to accept and follow guidelines that maintain data security in the telework environment. The objective of the study was to evaluate the application of the theory of planned behavior and the idea of subjective norms as a means of explaining teleworker compliance in using information technology (IT) security guidelines in a telework environment. A sample of 150 respondents who considered themselves formal and informal teleworkers and were eligible for membership in The Telework Exchange completed a Teleworker Security Survey. Descriptive and linear regression analyses were used to determine relationships existing between willingness to follow organizational teleworker data information security guidelines and practices. The findings of the analyses demonstrated that Personal Attitude, Social Pressure, and Sense of Control represented a weak to moderate model for explaining teleworker willingness to follow an organization's security guidelines. This study is significant to organizations with teleworkers by identifying insight on the risks of teleworkers to data security, knowledge about what they can do to protect the confidentiality and integrity of data, and the intent of teleworkers to follow security protocols in a telework environment.
