Peer Group Influence as a Factor in Smoking Behavior of Adolescents.
van Roosmalen, Erica H.; McDaniel, Susan A.
Adolescence, v24 n96 p801-16 Win 1989
Analyzed smoking behavior and peer group patterns among 1,689 eighth graders. Found that peer groups were crucially important in initiation of smoking among young adolescents, particularly females. Patterns of indirect peer influence on girls suggest that girls are less likely to stop smoking once they have begun than are boys. (Author/NB)
