“…More specifically, the positive message increased the intention to smoking cessation higher than the negative message (F = 4.353, p = .014). This result supported that the message emphasizing the negative factor for second‐hand smoke may lead to a side effect of socially stigmatizing smokers (Evans‐Polce, Castaldelli‐Maia, Schomerus, & Evans‐Lacko, 2015; Park & Kang, 2015). Therefore, it would be effective to emphasize social norms in a positive way in smoking cessation education or communication campaigns targeting smokers, requiring a strategy to consider smokers' social stigma.…”

Aim: Based on the main concept of reasoned action theory, this study aimed to examine which of the attitude and subjective norms affect the intention of smoking cessation by using four types of antismoking messages: (1) positively and(2) negatively stimulating one's attitude toward smoking cessation; and (3) positively and (4) negatively reflected subjective norms for secondhand smoking. Methods: We conducted a randomized field study in smoking areas in universities located in D city of South Korea. Two hundred and eighty-seven male students who smoke daily were recruited in the field and randomly divided into four experimental groups and one control group. The participants in each experimental group were asked to read attitude/positive, attitude/negative, norm/positive, and norm/negative message. The data of attitude, subjective norm, and intention to stop smoking were collected. Results: There were significant differences in the intention to quit smoking in attitude/negative messages (F = 4.311, p = .015) and norm/positive messages (F = 4.353, p = .014). The effects of subjective norm were greater than those of attitude (p < .001). Conclusion: Emphasizing the positive subjective norm for smoking cessation among young smokers might be effective in persuading them to quit smoking.

“…In these contexts, because smoking among adolescents is considered socially unacceptable delinquent behavior in Korean society (Lee & Yi, ), adolescents tend to avoid smoking despite the impulse to do so. In addition, in collectivistic cultures, feelings of guilt related to one's effect on others might have a stronger influence on smoking intention than individual smoking preferences (Park & Kang, ). As social norms regarding smoking are reflected in the popularity and images of smokers (Evans et al, ), people who have more negative social images of smokers are more likely to perceive their own smoking as causing psychological discomfort to others (Park & Kang, ).…”

In this study, we investigated the relationship between risk-taking tendency and smoking intention as moderated by social normative beliefs among Korean female adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 274 female adolescents in middle school. Multiple regression and simple slope analyses were employed to test the moderating effects of social normative beliefs regarding smoking on the relationship between risk-taking tendency and smoking intention. Results determined that risk-taking tendency, social normative beliefs regarding smoking, and their interaction were significant factors influencing smoking intention among adolescents. Risk-taking tendency was associated with greater smoking intention among adolescents, with higher than average social normative beliefs regarding smoking. However, risk-taking tendency was not significantly associated with smoking intention for adolescents with lower than average social normative beliefs regarding smoking. In conclusion, social normative beliefs regarding smoking moderated the relationship between risk-taking intention and smoking intention among Korean female adolescents. Unique sociocultural perceptions about smoking behaviors of adolescents need to be reflected in smoking-prevention and -cessation programs.

“…Furthermore, adolescent smoking is traditionally an unacceptable behavior in Korean society, which is influenced by Confucian culture (Lee & Yi, 2016). Therefore, adolescents could decide to start smoking if they believe that it is accepted by siblings and peers, who form the reference groups for proximal normative beliefs, as this justifies their delinquent behavior (Park & Kang, 2015). In addition, adolescents are likely to share behavioral norms with their peer groups, as this encourages a sense of belonging and social interaction.…”

“…However, most psychosocial factors associated with smoking intention and behavior in adolescents have been identified in Western cultures (Barrington-Trimis et al, 2015; DiNapoli, 2009; Wills, Knight, Williams, Pagano, & Sargent, 2015). Korea has unique sociocultural characteristics, such as collectivism and Confucian culture, influencing smoking behavior in adolescence (Lee & Yi, 2016; Park & Kang, 2015). In collectivist cultures, smoking behavior is likely to be determined by social norms regarding smoking, rather than individual preference (Park & Kang, 2015).…”

This study examined psychosocial factors influencing smoking intention in Korean male middle school students. We used a descriptive cross-sectional design, based on the biopsychosocial model, to analyze data from 309 male adolescents aged 14-16 years in middle school. Of the psychological factors examined, stress and risk-taking tendency were significantly associated with smoking intention. Of the social factors examined, social normative beliefs, close friends' and siblings' smoking, and low socioeconomic status were significant factors in smoking intention. The explanatory power of these variables in the predictive model was 23.1%. In conclusion, the unique psychological and social characteristics of adolescents should be reflected in interventions for smoking prevention.
