Emotional Self-Efficacy and Alcohol and Tobacco Use in Adolescents

Abstract: This study examined relationships between emotional self-efficacy (ESE) and alcohol and tobacco use in a statewide sample of public high school adolescents (n = 2,566). The Center for Disease Control Youth Risk Behavior Survey and an adolescent ESE scale were utilized. Logistic regression analyses indicated the presence of any significant race by gender associations between lower ESE and alcohol and tobacco use. Results suggest that alcohol and cigarette use was significantly associated (p ≤ .05) with lower le… Show more

“…Similar to the SSE, little is known about how this scale performs when it is used as an independent measure. However, the OD has been retained in studies on the SCM (e.g., Zullig et al, 2014;Zullig et al, 2015). The internal consistency for the OD was excellent in the current study ( = .91).…”

“…These items employ a self-report format and are rated on a five-point scale ranging from zero "strongly disagree" to four "strongly agree." Although research on the independent use of this scale is limited, a recent factor analytic study by Zullig et al (2015) supports the factorial validity of the SSE scale as well as the retention of these two items on the same dimension. Despite having only two items, the SSE scale displayed excellent reliability in the current study ( = .90).…”

“…The role of emotional symptoms on tobacco use has already been explored. Low emotional self‐efficacy has already been associated to tobacco use, in a sample of more than two thousand high school students . The association between psychosocial problems and smoking is clearer for the onset of regularly smoking and less clear for the onset of tobacco use .…”

“…In this preliminary study, we explored associations between student perceptions of harm from tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine use and their selfreported SSE. Known, and lesser studied, risk factors for adverse behavior among early adolescents include lower levels of self-efficacy and lower life satisfaction (Valois, Kerr, & Huebner, 2012;Valois, Paxton, Zullig, & Huebner, 2006, 2010Valois, Revels, Kerr, & Kammermann, 2015;Zullig, Teoli, & Valois, 2015), while known protective factors include social skills such as the ability to make friends and maintain quality peer relationships (Paxton et al, 2006;Valois et al, 2009). In addition, perception of harm of an illicit substance is a known risk or protective factor for subsequent substance use, with higher perceptions of harm being strongly associated with reduced use of a particular substance and vice versa (Hawkins et al, 1992;Johnston et al, 2012;SAMHSA, Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, 2013).…”
