Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: This study explores whether and how the amount of smoking differs by economic status and perception among the men in working age.
Methods: The study utilized the 4th wave of KoWEPS containing the items on perception of economic conditions. Analysis was conducted on ever-married men aged 30-54, who have capacity to work. It used 2 stage regression model methods to examine the mediation effect of perception on economic status.
Results: The results shows that the negative perception on economic status has a positive effect on smoking. Disposable income affects smoking only through the perception of economic status. Employment status exerts both direct and indirect effect on smoking.
Conclusions: These findings imply that less privileged economic status is related to smoking through anxiety or stress for the negative perception on it.
