Stress and Adolescents' Smoking: The Moderating Effect of Personality and Gender

Abstract

Abstract: 2415 middle school students were selected to complete the Adolescent Life Events Questionnaire (ALEQ), Big Five Personality Questionnaire (NEO-FFI) and the questionnaire of Middle School Students' Smoking Behavior. Results show stress was positively related to adolescents' smoking，and the openness and the agreeableness of the five personality were negatively correlated with adolescents' smoking. The agreeableness plays a moderating role in the effects of stress on adolescents' smoking. Gender also plays a moderating role in the effects of stress on adolescents' smoking.

Key words: stress, big five personality, smoking, adolescents

摘要： 采用青少年生活事件问卷、大五人格量表和自编中学生吸烟行为调查问卷对2415名中学生进行问卷调查。结果发现：压力与青少年吸烟行为显著正相关，大五人格的开放性、宜人性与青少年吸烟行为显著负相关；大五人格的宜人性在压力对青少年吸烟行为的影响中起调节作用；性别在压力对青少年吸烟行为的影响中起调节作用。
