Ransom, Mary Virginia
Journal of School Health, v62 n6 p238-42 Aug 1992

Students viewed slides of adolescents with or without health behavior artifacts (apple, cigarette, beer can, or tennis racket), rating the models on 16 characteristics. Models were rated less mature, friendly, and intelligent when holding a beer can or cigarette. (SM)
