The authors tested how behavioral and emotional self-control are related to adolescent substance (tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana) use. Data were obtained from 489 middle school students and 602 high school students. Multiple indicators were developed for each domain of self-control, and confirmatory analyses were used to test the measurement structure of latent constructs. Results showed that the domains of behavioral self-control and emotional self-control were statistically distinct, and both were related to adolescent substance use. Structural modeling analyses indicated indirect effects for self-control constructs primarily through pathways to competence and recent events. In addition, poor behavioral control had a direct effect to deviant peer affiliations, and poor emotional control had a direct effect to coping motives for substance use. The results indicate that both types of self-regulation are relevant for adolescent substance use. Implications for prevention and treatment research are discussed.
作者们测试了行为和情绪自我控制与青少年物质（烟草、酒精和大麻）使用之间的关系。数据来自489名中学生和602名高中生。针对自我控制的每个领域开发了多个指标，并使用验证性分析来检验潜在结构的测量结构。结果表明，行为自我控制和情绪自我控制领域在统计学上是不同的，且二者均与青少年物质使用有关。结构模型分析表明，自我控制结构的间接影响主要通过能力途径和近期事件产生。此外，不良的行为控制对不良同伴关系有直接影响，而不良的情绪控制对物质使用的应对动机有直接影响。结果表明，两种类型的自我调节都与青少年物质使用相关。文中还讨论了对预防和治疗研究的启示。
