How do modeling and manipulation explain the development of emotional dependence on tobacco?
Answer: Modeling is the process of adopting the behavior patterns of a person one admires or has bonds with. An example would be a young person who struggles to resist peer pressure, or a young individual who is trying to gain a bond with others through tobacco. Manipulation provides a "tool" to offset boredom, anxiety, or stress. This enables people to feel they have the situation under control. It also gives people an outlet to go to when one is under stress.
