Data were collected from two northern California public high schools in the United States between 2001 and 2004. Main effects are shown for male adolescents and adolescents with greater smoking experience, within smoking experience group. OR=”odds ratio” CI=”confidence interval”
Gender and experience with puffing cigarettes interacted to predict “feeling that I looked cool”, but simple effect tests were non-significant (OR=2.35, 95% CI=0.65,8.52 for girls; OR=0.18, 95% CI=0.02,1.58 for boys).
Gender and experience with smoking whole cigarettes interacted to predict “feeling that I looked cool” (OR=2.50, 95% CI=1.16,5.37, p<.05, for girls; OR=0.86, 95% CI=0.51,1.45, ns, for boys).
Gender and experience with smoking whole cigarettes interacted to predict “feeling that I looked grown-up” (OR=4.03, 95% CI=1.47,11.01, p<.01, for girls; OR=0.90, 95% CI=0.53,1.54, ns, for boys).
