Research Abstract |
In order to find out efficacious factors that lead to success in the smoking cessation, a series of studies has been conducted to compare attitudes and daily habits of smokers, non-smokers, previous smokers (people who has given up smoking), and people who are presently trying to quit smoking. Attitudes have been measured by both explicit and implicit methods (the Implicit Association Test), that have been used in social cognitive psychology research area. Results show that, (1) implicit attitudes and family support promote smoking-cessation success after 6 months of treatment, (2) although smoking-cessation patients' implicit attitudes for smoking become worse during treatment, the implicit data level is still not close to non-smokers. Also, (3) it was found out that previous smokers still have positive associations of "self and smoking".
