| Samenvatting | The scientific novelty of this study is that when controlling for network effects that might bias the friendship influence effect, an influence effect is found over social distance two for the smoking behavior of Dutch adolescents. These findings add to a growing body of literature emphasizing the relevance of accounting for complex network dynamics when investigating adolescent behavior. This study convincingly shows that institutions such as the Dutch educational system, social phenomena such as inequality, peer group dynamics, and socialization at home are key factors for understanding smoking behavior. In contrast to the popular belief that smoking is the act of a rebellious, individualist adolescent, it is a phenomenon that is largely governed by social mechanisms. |
