Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Evidence suggests that affirming the self can help people to make changes in their health behavior. Typically, people affirm a personally-important value, but evidence suggests that affirming the values of family ("familial self-affirmation") might exert stronger effects. The aim of the present study is to examine the effects of familial self-affirmation versus standard self-affirmation versus a control group on smoking cessation.
