The present investigation evaluated whether coping motives for marijuana use interacted with past 30-day frequency of marijuana use in relation to anxiety-relevant variables among community-recruited young adult marijuana users (n=149). As expected, after covarying cigarettes per day, alcohol use, and total years of marijuana use, the interaction between frequency of past 30-day marijuana use and coping motives predicted anxious arousal symptoms, agoraphobic cognitions, and worry. Marijuana users who demonstrated high use frequency and high coping motives demonstrated the highest levels of anxiety across these anxiety-relevant criterion variables. No such effects were evident, as expected, for depressive symptoms, offering explanatory specificity for anxiety relative to depressive factors. These results are discussed in relation to better understanding the role of marijuana use and coping motives in regard to anxiety vulnerability.
本研究评估了在社区招募的年轻成年大麻使用者（n = 149）中，使用大麻的应对动机是否与过去30天大麻使用频率在与焦虑相关的变量方面存在相互作用。正如预期的那样，在对每日吸烟量、酒精使用量和大麻使用总年限进行协变量调整后，过去30天大麻使用频率与应对动机之间的相互作用预测了焦虑唤醒症状、广场恐惧认知和担忧。在这些与焦虑相关的标准变量中，表现出高使用频率和高应对动机的大麻使用者表现出最高水平的焦虑。正如预期的那样，抑郁症状没有明显的此类影响，这为焦虑相对于抑郁因素提供了解释特异性。讨论了这些结果，以更好地理解大麻使用和应对动机在焦虑易感性方面的作用。
