Dear All,
I hope this message finds you well. We are contacting you as contributors in the area of descriptive peer norms on adolescent smoking initiation and continuation. Currently, we (Dolores Albarracín, Emily Falk, Jiaying Liu, Siman Zhao, and Xi Chen) are conducting a meta-analysis of this literature and are making progress towards a working manuscript. We are particularly interested in finding what study characteristics moderate effect sizes and obtaining unpublished data would greatly assist us in identifying study attributes and theoretically-important variables that factor into the emergence of these effects.
We suspect that you will agree that this is a worthwhile goal for all involved. Would you be willing to share any unpublished studies or working papers that use longitudinal panel designs to examine the effects of peers’ smoking behavior on adolescents’ smoking behavior (i.e., whether peers’ actual or perceived smoking behavior at an earlier time point (Time 1) will lead to adolescents smoking initiation or continuation between Time 1 and Time 2).
If you are willing to discuss these studies with us and potentially share unpublished studies (confidentially or otherwise), please let us know by December 1st, 2015. We would like to check that we have as complete a database as possible. In addition, papers cited in meta-analyses may have a broad reach, so it can be beneficial for authors in publicizing existing work. Please note that we offer researchers the option of submitting data confidentially to provide authors maximal flexibility with how they publicize their results and confidence in the goals underlying our request. If you would like any details concerning how we plan on displaying the data in the paper and how to remove identifiers, please let us know.
If you are willing to provide unpublished data as we hope, we would need (a) the effect sizes obtained from the study, the standard deviations associated with the effect sizes, and the sample size of the study; (b) the adolescent smoking behaviors examined (initiation, continuation, or both); (c) social closeness of the peers (best friend, general friend, etc.); (d) the country where the study was conducted and (f) a few details about the study designs and sample.
Please contact Dolores Albarracín (dalbarra@illinois.edu) or Emily Falk (falk@asc.upenn.edu) for submission of the above items. I really appreciate your consideration of our request.
Sincerely,
Dolores Albarracín, Ph.D.
