目的：本研究主要探討青少年嚼食檳榔的社會選擇與社會影響之兩大社會化歷程。方法：174名國中生參與歷時三個月兩波調查之縱貫性研究，調查中完成社會常模以及檳榔嚼實意圖問卷。結果：社會選擇歷程可以解釋社會常模對於嚼食意圖的影響。結論：未來可以參照此結果發展青少年嚼食檳榔行為之預防策略。

Objectives: In this present study, we investigated social influence and social selection to explain the social process for betel nut-chewing behavior. Methods: We recruited 174 adolescents from a junior high school for a three month study with data collection in two waves. They all completed the questionnaire including the social norm and intention scale. Results: In this study, most (93%) of adolescents never chewed betel nut in both waves 1 and 2. No differences were found between both waves in intention and social norm. In the canonical correlation, the social infl uence model was not founded to be signifi cantly correlated, but the social selection model signifi cantly correlated(r=0.27, p=0.02). Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, we suggest that social selection model may best account for the relation between the perceived social norm and chewing intention. The finding may be used in the prevention program for the adolescents' betel nut-chewing problem.
