56、lt;p>　　青少年己成為世界上迅速增長(zhǎng)的香煙消費(fèi)者群體。青少年的吸煙行為直接關(guān)系到其成人后的吸煙行為，大多數(shù)成人吸煙者都是從青少年時(shí)期就開始并形成吸煙習(xí)慣的。針對(duì)青少年吸煙的嚴(yán)重性，學(xué)者們對(duì)這一問題展開了大量的研究。目前，對(duì)青少年吸煙問題的研究主要集中在以下兩個(gè)方面:究竟那些因素導(dǎo)致了青少年的吸煙行為?如何預(yù)防青少年的吸煙行為?后一個(gè)問題以前一個(gè)問題的研究為基礎(chǔ)，所以對(duì)影響青少年吸煙因素的探討日益成為研究的焦點(diǎn)。一些研究認(rèn)為家庭

57、內(nèi)部的父母、環(huán)境因素影響了青少年的吸煙行為，另一些研究認(rèn)為社會(huì)外部環(huán)境影響了青少年的吸煙行為，還有一些研究認(rèn)為青少年的吸煙行為是由其個(gè)人內(nèi)部因素所導(dǎo)致的。然而，由于影響青少年吸煙行為的因素本身具有復(fù)雜性，這方面的研究還處于繼續(xù)探討階段，還沒有一個(gè)完整的理論體系和統(tǒng)一定性的結(jié)論。</p><p>　　青少年吸煙是目前嚴(yán)重的社會(huì)問題之一，由青少年吸煙引發(fā)的各種問題己成為社會(huì)各界關(guān)注的焦點(diǎn)，如何預(yù)防和減少青少年吸煙行為

58、成為迫切需要解決的問題。煙本身是人們生命中的無形殺手，吸煙會(huì)引起癌癥等多種惡性疾病，而青少年正處于長(zhǎng)身體的重要時(shí)期。青少年的吸煙行為還會(huì)使他們產(chǎn)生一系列的問題行為，如吸煙、飲酒，甚至自殺等，現(xiàn)有對(duì)青少年吸煙行為的研究認(rèn)為青少年的吸煙行為伴隨著許多不良的后果，如學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)差、在校行為不良，、不愿上學(xué)、問題行為等(kieiman, et al, 1988)。這些無疑都對(duì)青少年的身心健康發(fā)展造成很大影響。另外，青少年正處于人生觀、世界觀形成的時(shí)

60、;p>　　過去幾十年中許多國家的社會(huì)狀況發(fā)生了重要的變化，其中之一便是生活在單親家庭和繼父母家庭中的孩子數(shù)量迅速增多。隨著社會(huì)中離婚率和再婚率不斷增長(zhǎng)，出生在不完整家庭中的孩子也越來越多。經(jīng)調(diào)查，1998年11一1S歲青少年中經(jīng)歷父母離異的人數(shù)是1978年的兩倍(Summerfield & Matheson, 2000).</p><p>　　值得我們注意的是，這些生長(zhǎng)在單親家庭或繼父母家庭中的孩子

61、與同齡的其他孩子相比可能會(huì)遭遇更多的不利因素。首先，單親家庭的平均收入要比一般家庭的平均收入低三倍之多(Eurostat, 2000)。這些研究還發(fā)現(xiàn)繼父母/單親家庭中的青少年經(jīng)常有許多負(fù)面的生活方式，這種負(fù)面的生活方式與青少年的不健康生活之間緊密相關(guān)。另外，我們可以從社會(huì)文化學(xué)的角度出發(fā)來探討這一問題，通常，來自不完整家庭的青少年在問題行為的發(fā)生率上遠(yuǎn)高于一般青少年，如這些孩子很少在學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)、生活中表現(xiàn)出優(yōu)良品質(zhì)，在早期，他們通常會(huì)有

62、較高的曠課率和逃課率，在他們身上也更容易出現(xiàn)越軌行為和問題行為，如犯罪行為、離家出走以及與身體健康密切聯(lián)系的一些行為問題，如吸煙等(Sweeting, West, & Richards, 1998)。如許多西方國家的研究都發(fā)現(xiàn)來自不完整家庭的青少年有較高的吸煙率( Isohanni, Moilanen &Rantakallio, 1991;Goddard&Higgins, 1999; Tyas&Peder

63、son,1998; Shakib, Mouttapa,Johnson, 2003)。</p><p>　　但對(duì)這一問題目前還存在爭(zhēng)論:不完整家庭與完整家庭之間的差別是否真的是造成青少年吸煙的一個(gè)主要因素，如果是，則為什么會(huì)這樣?對(duì)此，目前還沒有完全一致、可靠的答案。Dornbusch及其同事認(rèn)為來自單親家庭的青少年之所以更容易吸煙是因?yàn)槿狈Ω改副O(jiān)控和社會(huì)情感支持(Dornbusch, 1991)。一項(xiàng)美國學(xué)者關(guān)于

64、12-16歲青少年的健康行為研究表明，青少年的吸煙行為與其它不良行為與他們對(duì)父母的理解有關(guān)，那些認(rèn)為父母是關(guān)心、愛護(hù)和理解他們的青少年傾向于有較少的吸煙行為，而認(rèn)為父母忽視他們的青少年有更多吸煙行為(Foxcroft&Lowe, 1991)。青少年吸煙與家庭環(huán)境的關(guān)系的研究仍處于不斷完善之中，青少年吸煙受其它家庭因素的影響，其中父母與子女之間疏遠(yuǎn)而淡漠的關(guān)系可能是其首要因素。一些研究將家庭簡(jiǎn)單地分為一個(gè)父母或兩個(gè)父母的這種兩分法

65、使問題過于簡(jiǎn)單化，分離、離婚、父母死亡都可以造成家庭破裂。另有一些單親家庭與其他成人生活在一起，而另一些單親家庭則沒有(Hoffman, 1995)。美國心理學(xué)家Hoffman通過其研究提出了一個(gè)階梯模型，這個(gè)模型描繪了那些出身于單親家庭的</p><p>　　青少年是如何走上吸煙的道路的。第一步，父母離異或與繼父母生活在一起將降低了青少年與家庭聯(lián)系，包括情感溝通及來自家庭的其他方面的支持;第二步，松散的家庭關(guān)系

66、和較少的家庭干涉增加了孩子與其他吸煙或吸毒青少年的聯(lián)系;第三步，上述二因素結(jié)合使青少年吸煙或吸毒的可能性大大提高。</p><p>　　與上述結(jié)果相反，一些研究發(fā)現(xiàn)家庭結(jié)構(gòu)與青少年的吸煙行為無關(guān)。如Dunham等人在對(duì)11-14歲的青少年的調(diào)查研究中發(fā)現(xiàn)，家庭結(jié)構(gòu)對(duì)青少年吸煙行為的影響是不明顯的，他們將家庭關(guān)系引入其研究中發(fā)現(xiàn)家庭關(guān)系對(duì)青少年吸煙行為有直接影響，而且這種影響受年齡變量的調(diào)節(jié)(Sokl, Katc,

67、 1997). Farell等(1992)的研究指出家庭結(jié)構(gòu)不是影響青少年吸煙的主要原因，青少年吸煙主要受家庭經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況、父母吸煙情況、父母受教育程度等影響?；蛘呒彝ソY(jié)構(gòu)受到社會(huì)支持，青少年自身心理因素的調(diào)節(jié)(Miller, 1997)。而Griesbach (2003)等人專門就歐洲7個(gè)國家進(jìn)行了跨文化研究，結(jié)果幾乎在所有的國家中家庭結(jié)構(gòu)作為一個(gè)獨(dú)立的因素影響著青少年的吸煙行為，它不受青少年所在家庭的經(jīng)濟(jì)情況、父母吸煙情況、性別等因素的

68、影響，但他們的研究中也發(fā)現(xiàn)其中一個(gè)國家的家庭結(jié)構(gòu)與青少年吸</p><p>　　煙行為并不具有顯著意義的相關(guān)。在其它六個(gè)國家中，青少年吸煙與繼父母家庭環(huán)境有顯著的相關(guān)，而且所有的國家中，單親家庭中青少年吸煙的比率高于完整家庭中的青少年吸煙的比率。Glending, Shucksmith & Hendtry(1997)發(fā)現(xiàn)在日常吸煙者中，繼父母家庭中的青少年有最高的吸煙率，隨之是單親家庭中的青少年，而完整家

69、庭青少年的吸煙率最低。而Sweeting, West & Richards(1998)對(duì)日常吸煙者和偶爾吸煙者的研究得出了相反的結(jié)論。</p><p>　　雖然有關(guān)家庭結(jié)構(gòu)與吸煙的關(guān)系并不一致，但大多數(shù)研究都認(rèn)為家庭結(jié)構(gòu)的不完整是導(dǎo)致青少年吸煙的一個(gè)重要因素，而其它一些不一致的結(jié)論可能有其地域與方法上的問題。</p><p>　　2．父母素質(zhì)因素與青少年吸煙的關(guān)系</p>

70、;<p>　　許多研究和幾項(xiàng)權(quán)威的觀點(diǎn)都證明家庭在青少年行為的社會(huì)化過程中起著十分重要的作用(Maccoby & Martin, 1983)。孩子的社會(huì)化行為主要依賴他們的家庭，特別是父母的支持和向?qū)硗瓿伞Ｔ诟改笓狃B(yǎng)方式與孩子社會(huì)化的經(jīng)典觀點(diǎn)中，Maccoby&Martin認(rèn)為家庭環(huán)境中社會(huì)化行為的心理學(xué)研究涉及到父母的行為是怎樣支持孩子學(xué)到那些今后可能會(huì)幫助或危害他人的行為習(xí)慣，與此同時(shí)，父母幫助孩子塑

71、造一些社會(huì)所需的肯定行為，如幫助他人、獨(dú)立、有責(zé)任心等。當(dāng)孩子進(jìn)入成年時(shí)，許多家庭外的因素逐漸影響他們的成長(zhǎng)，但家庭仍然充當(dāng)他們社會(huì)化的主要代言人。家庭的社會(huì)化過程對(duì)個(gè)人現(xiàn)在及未來與健康有關(guān)的行為(如酗酒、吸煙和其它物質(zhì)濫用)有很大影響(Steinberg, 1987).</p><p>　　在家庭環(huán)境中，父母對(duì)青少年成長(zhǎng)的作用是不可估量的。首先，父母對(duì)他們的情感溫暖、關(guān)心程度等決定著青少年是否能健康成長(zhǎng)。Fox

72、croff & Lowe(1991)調(diào)查了1000名12-16歲的青少年，了解青少年對(duì)父母教養(yǎng)方式的理解與其自我匯報(bào)的健康行為，如吸煙、酗酒之間的關(guān)系。根據(jù)參加者自我報(bào)告的獲得家庭支持和控制的情況，將他們分類到四種不同的家庭環(huán)境中。這四種環(huán)境分別為:溫暖型家庭，這種家庭以高支持和高控制為其主要特點(diǎn):溺愛型家庭，以高支持低控制為其主要特點(diǎn);權(quán)威型家庭，表現(xiàn)為高控制、低支持;忽視型家庭，表現(xiàn)為低支持、低控制。結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)對(duì)于家庭生活的理

73、解與青少年的健康行為有密切的關(guān)系。那些認(rèn)為父母是權(quán)威和控制型的青少年比那些認(rèn)為父母是溺愛溫暖型的青少年有更多的吸煙行為，忽視型家庭中的青少年吸煙行為最多。其它研究也發(fā)現(xiàn)了類似的結(jié)果，認(rèn)為缺乏父母關(guān)心與尊重和缺乏父母社會(huì)支持都與青少年的吸煙行為相關(guān)(Aquilino, 2001; Byrne, Haddock, Poston, 2002)。另有觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為，青少年不健康行為的產(chǎn)生也可能是因?yàn)樵谠缙诎l(fā)展階段中，父母影響了青少年的自尊及其他心理功

74、能，而</p><p>　　迄今為止的大多研究都己確定父母素質(zhì)因素的確是影響青少年吸煙的重要因素之一，但在具體研究中，各研究選擇了不同的角度。</p><p>　　除此之外，父母職業(yè)和由父母職業(yè)決定的家庭社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)地位都被認(rèn)為可能是與青少年吸煙行為有關(guān)的因素。Sweeting強(qiáng)調(diào)社會(huì)群體之間不同階層的家庭生活對(duì)青少年的健康行為有潛在的影響，但家庭生活中的物質(zhì)環(huán)境與青少年的健康行為無關(guān)。然而，

75、Gonrad (1992)的研究結(jié)果卻顯示父母職業(yè)、家庭社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)地位均與青少年的吸煙行為相關(guān)，而且他還發(fā)現(xiàn)父母吸煙是預(yù)測(cè)青少年吸煙的一個(gè)重要指標(biāo)。</p><p>　　3.吸煙與青少年身心壓力的關(guān)系</p><p>　　關(guān)于吸煙與壓力的關(guān)系長(zhǎng)期以來一直是一個(gè)有爭(zhēng)議的問題，對(duì)其二者的關(guān)系一直存在兩種對(duì)立的觀點(diǎn)。一種觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為吸煙與壓力之間有非常密切的關(guān)系，有關(guān)的研究主要從三方面來說明二者的密切

76、相關(guān):1、與不吸煙者相比，吸煙者經(jīng)常匯報(bào)他們感受到更多的壓力，吸煙者報(bào)告說吸煙幫助他們解除壓力;2、隨個(gè)人所感受到的壓力水平的增加，他們的吸煙量也有所增加;3、吸煙者在感受到生活壓力水平低的情況下可能會(huì)戒煙，而那些戒煙的人匯報(bào)他們感受到較低水平的壓力。與此相反，另一種觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為吸煙與壓力并不存在密切的相關(guān)，二者的相關(guān)關(guān)系常常是不顯著的。</p><p>　　大多數(shù)的吸煙者匯報(bào)當(dāng)他們感到緊張或焦慮時(shí)，他們經(jīng)常會(huì)吸煙，

78、能平靜和減少吸煙者的焦慮和憤怒情緒。另外，一些研究也表明，經(jīng)常吸煙的人在沒有煙的情況下會(huì)比不吸煙者有更多的負(fù)面情緒，在沒有煙的情況下，吸煙者會(huì)經(jīng)受更多壓力和憤怒的情感。( Hughes,Hiffins & Hatsukami, 1990)。吸煙與壓力之間有一種互相影響的關(guān)系，吸煙使人們能很好的應(yīng)對(duì)壓力，同時(shí)人們對(duì)煙的依賴可能會(huì)使他們?cè)跊]有煙的情況下感到更多的負(fù)面情緒。因此，吸煙者比不吸煙者經(jīng)歷了更多的壓力，大量的研究也證明了這一

79、點(diǎn)，吸煙者的壓力、緊張水平顯著的高于不吸煙者的壓力、緊張水平(Warb</p><p>　　隨其所面臨壓力水平的增長(zhǎng)，青少年傾向于發(fā)展吸煙行為和增加吸煙量，也就是說，與不吸煙的青少年相比，吸煙青少年報(bào)告他們處于更強(qiáng)的壓力環(huán)境中。在一項(xiàng)對(duì)1684名加拿大中學(xué)生的橫向調(diào)查研究中，與同齡不吸煙的人相比，那些吸煙者報(bào)告有更多的緊張、焦慮和擔(dān)心，而且二者的差別達(dá)到了顯著的統(tǒng)計(jì)水平(Mitic, McGuire &

80、Neumann, 1985)。在英國的調(diào)查也發(fā)現(xiàn)不吸煙的人自我報(bào)告有最低的壓力水平，相比而言，偶爾吸煙者則報(bào)告較高的壓力水平，而那些日常吸煙的人自我報(bào)告的壓力水平是三者當(dāng)中最高的(Siqueira et al, 2000)。美國的一項(xiàng)事后回溯研究中，要求被試分別描述自己在過去兩年中的吸煙行為與情感狀況，發(fā)現(xiàn)隨情感痛苦的逐漸增加，人們傾向于從偶爾吸煙者轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)槿粘Ｎ鼰熣摺?Hirschman,Leventhal & Glynn, 1

82、其壓力水平與吸煙行為只有很弱的相關(guān)，而且這種相關(guān)可以被其它因素解釋。而在女青少年中顯示了壓力水平與吸煙有很強(qiáng)的相關(guān)，壓力存在于吸煙女生生活的各個(gè)方面。Byrne & Mazanov對(duì)兩千六百多名青少年進(jìn)行了為期十二個(gè)月的追蹤調(diào)查，發(fā)現(xiàn)女生匯報(bào)的壓力水平顯著高于男生，即在校青少年的壓力水平在性別上存在差異。其它有關(guān)青少年與成人的壓力研究中也確證了這一點(diǎn)，即與男性相比，女性更可能匯報(bào)和經(jīng)歷更多的壓力事件(Groeer & T

83、homas, 1992)。與此相應(yīng)，一些研究報(bào)告了青少年女性的吸煙率高于男性((Byrne, Reinhart, 1998; Hill, White & Letcher, 1999).</p><p>　　關(guān)于吸煙與壓力的另一派觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為吸煙與壓力之間并不存在高相關(guān)。他們認(rèn)為那些認(rèn)為吸煙與壓力有高相關(guān)的人往往認(rèn)為吸煙者是隨機(jī)分配于整個(gè)人群中的，個(gè)人是否成為一個(gè)吸煙者是隨意的?？墒菍?shí)際上，大量的證據(jù)表明個(gè)人不

84、同的心理傾向，如心理癥狀中的抑郁傾向，人格中的神經(jīng)質(zhì)傾向，以及對(duì)尼古丁的反應(yīng)情況(對(duì)尼古丁是否敏感)都會(huì)影響個(gè)人吸煙的可能性。所以，吸煙者與不吸煙者在開始吸煙時(shí)只是存在情感痛苦方面的不同，而不是壓力水平不同，幾項(xiàng)縱向研究都支持這一觀點(diǎn)(Gilbert, 1995)。另外值得注意的是，那些未成癮的吸煙者匯報(bào)他們只是偶爾會(huì)用吸煙這種方式來應(yīng)對(duì)負(fù)面情緒，在他們中間，吸煙與壓力并不存在相關(guān)(Shiffman et al, 1994) 。<
