Past research has found that loneliness and social networks are both associated with cigarette smoking. However, social factors and loneliness have not been studied concurrently as correlates of smoking behavior, despite their potential association with each other. Furthermore, past studies have often conflated loneliness and depression or did not include depression as a covariate in analyses, although research suggests that loneliness and depression are correlated and are associated with smoking. Examining social networks, loneliness, and depression together as correlates of smoking may provide clarity into how they contribute to smoking behavior individually and through interaction. This dissertation examines the associations among loneliness, social networks, depression, and smoking in a sample of predominantly Hispanic/Latino adolescents enrolled in five schools located in one school district in Southern California, USA. Study one is a structural equation model of social networks, parental communication, loneliness, and depression as predictors of use of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, hookah, marijuana and alcohol. Study two uses logistic and linear regression to assess the associations of social networks, loneliness, and depression with accuracy in assessment of peer behavior, exposure to peer smoking and alcohol use, participant's own use of cigarettes and alcohol, and participant's use of cigarettes and alcohol with friends. Study three uses a stochastic actor-oriented model to analyze the dynamics among social networks, loneliness, and smoking. Studies two and three additionally consider potential interaction terms between peer influence and loneliness in the prediction of smoking. Contrary to past studies, we did not find that loneliness was associated with smoking and other substance use. Exposure from peers to cigarette and alcohol use was associated with adolescents' own cigarette and alcohol use, but loneliness was not a moderator of this association. Furthermore, selection and influence processes were not found for cigarette use, despite findings that having a friend who smokes is associated with an adolescent's smoking behavior. We found that centrality, parental communication, depression, and self-identifying as a stoner/druggie were associated with smoking and other substance use. Future research directions and implications of the findings are discussed.Subjects--Topical Terms:
