Adolescents' response to the gender valence of cigarette advertising imagery: The role of affect and the self-concept

Article Abstract:

The role played by affect and the self-concept in adolescent never smokers' reactions to the gender valence of cigarette advertising imagery is examined. Results indicate that female-valenced cigarette advertising imagery may have specific effects on never smoking female adolescents by enhancing positive affect and suggesting that women who smoke hold the same characteristics as do the young women themselves.
