The Spec requires that you: • Describe and Evaluate one study to be selected from ……. • Ennett et al (1994) variability in cigarette smoking within and between adolescent friendship cliques.
Aim: To investigate the role of friendship groups and cliques in the smoking behaviour of adolescence.
Can you name the…… • Method • Sample • Controls • Design • Extraneous / participant variables • Now can you write an account of how this was carried out?
A total of 87 cliques were identified comprised of 461 adolescence. Average clique size was 5 members. 42.2% of the sample participants were in a clique. • What is a clique? • Those not in cliques were called isolates, 28.6% of the total sample. • Liaisons were participants who were friends with other adolescence but not in a clique, which accounted for 29.2% of the sample.
What do these results show?PROPORTION OF CURRENT SMOKERS BY FRIENDSHIP PATTERNS BY SCHOOL (N=1092)
Results • 414/461 were non smokers • 59/87 were totally non-smoking cliques • 2/87 cliques contained smoking only members • The smoking rate of clique members was 11.1% • The overall smoking rate in schools was 15.2% • Clique members displayed high levels of homogeneity (similar behaviour) – this was most apparent in all female, all white cliques, and cliques where mothers had a lower standard of education • Smoking behaviour in cliques compared to non cliques was significant to 5% (but achieve 0.1% level in 2/5 of the schools) From this data, use the statistics in infer 3 findings from this study:
Conclusions – finish that sentence! • Adolescences that smoke tend to associate with ………. • Clique membership contributes more to non-smoking behaviour than……… • Membership of a non-smoking clique supports the maintenance of ……… • This does / does not support the notion of social learning theory as an explanation of substance misuse.
Now you need to be able to evaluate the study: • Design • Reliability and Validity • Ethnocentric • Ethics • Evidence to support • Androcentric • Application • Method • Sample
