Utilisation de l’engagement pour limiter la valorisation des fumeurs chez les adolescents
Résumé
Introduction
Social psychology research about commitment has demonstrated that it is possible to change one people's cognition and behavior.
Objective
The aim of the present article is to show that commitment can be used as a reduction strategy of smokers’ valorization and smoking normativity in order to reduce smoking.
Method
Students have been followed into a longitudinal study from end of elementary school to 8th grade class. They have been divided into different groups representing the smoking prevention's degree of commitment.
Results
Rsults suggest that the sooner they are engaged in schooling, the better is the prevention. Commitment intervention made later in schooling has no influence on students smoking valorization.
