“…The association between attitude toward smoking and smoking stages is supported by the findings of this study, as with other studies (Andrews & Duncan, 1998;Hill, Boudreau, Amyot, Dery, & Godin, 1997). Although, the attitude toward smoking has had the most significant role in the discriminant function analysis, because of the cross-sectional nature of this study one cannot determine whether having a positive attitude toward smoking or smoking itself increases the attitude toward smoking.…”

A staged model of smoking adoption has been widely applied in studies of adolescent smoking. This paper examined the effects of socioenvironmental and personal factors on three stages of the smoking continuum among a sample of 10th-grade male students, ages 14-19 years, at 20 high schools in Shiraz city. This paper is the first step of a longitudinal study related to adolescents smoking and predictors of transition in the stages. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to 1,132 10th-grade students from a possible population of 14,000 students. Multivariate discriminant function analysis was used to analyze the data. Overall 19.4% of students had smoked; 80.6%, 16.9%, and 2.5% had never smoked, had experimented, and had regularly smoked, respectively. The discriminant function analysis indicated that attitude toward smoking, use of alcohol, use of illicit drugs, smoking behavior of best friends, and self-esteem were related to more intense smoking behaviors. Finally, these variables permitted the correct classification of 70.3% of students into the stages of smoking acquisition. This finding has important public health significance, but further research is required to determine if the association is causal.

“…Quanto ao poder preditivo, a TCP tem sido aplicada a diversos comportamentos, relacionados com a saúde, entre os quais, a cessação tabágica (Côté, Godin & Gagué, 2004;Moan & Rise, 2005) e o consumo de tabaco (Hill, Boudreau, Amyot, Déry, & Godin, 1997). Num estudo efetuado por Armitage e Conner (2001), em que participaram fumadores em fase de cessação tabágica, verificou-se que os fumadores pensavam no que teriam que fazer para o conseguir (atitudes face ao comportamento), estando conscientes de quem aprovaria, ou não a sua decisão (normas subjetivas).…”

Este estudo avaliou os preditores da dependência tabágica e o modo como as representações do tabaco contribuem para as variáveis sócio-cognitivas na cessação tabágica. Participaram no estudo 224 fumadores. Os resultados revelaram que ter menos idade, ser do sexo masculino, ter doença respiratória, fumar mais cigarros por dia, ter um parceiro que fuma, menor qualidade de vida mental e mais morbilidade psicológica foram preditores de maior dependência tabágica. Por sua vez, mais idade, menor compreensão, representações emocionais mais ameaçadoras e parceiro não fumar revelaram-se preditores da intenção; menor compreensão, representações cognitivas mais ameaçadoras e parceiro não fumar previram as atitudes face ao comportamento deixar de fumar; mais idade, representações emocionais e cognitivas mais ameaçadoras e parceiro não fumar previram as crenças de comportamento em relação a deixar de fumar; representações emocionais mais ameaçadoras e parceiro não fumar previram as normas subjetivas; representações cognitivas menos ameaçadoras e parceiro não fumar previram o controlo comportamental percebido; mais idade, parceiro não fumar e representações emocionais mais ameaçadoras previram as crenças normativas/controlo. As representações emocionais e cognitivas mais ameaçadoras e ser do sexo masculino, foram os preditores do planeamento do coping/ação. Este estudo enfatiza a importância das representações do tabaco nos programas de cessação tabágica.Palavras-chave: Dependência nicotínica, Representações do tabaco, Teoria do comportamento planeado.

“…During adolescence, changes in intent may be instigated by shifts in normative beliefs about a drug. The Theories of Reasoned Action [21] and Planned Behavior [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] have used constructs representing "subjective norms" to explain intentions to use alcohol and tobacco. However, work on these closely aligned theories has so far not led to the description and measurement of carefully specified normative beliefs [30].…”
