This qualitative research aimed at identifying conceptions held by undergraduate students regarding the term motivation, and motives leading them to the consumption of legal drugs. Data were collected through a questionnaire with four open questions, applied to 15 students of a public university in the central region of Mexico. In order to perform the data analysis, answers were classified in two categories: a) Undergraduate students' conceptions regarding the term motivation and b) Undergraduate students' conceptions regarding the motives for consumption. Such analysis indicated that students identify two types of motivations: external and internal. The external motivation includes family, mass media and friends; whereas internal motivation includes personal characteristics, need of belonging, curiosity, pleasure and idleness.
这项定性研究旨在确定本科生对动机一词的理解，以及促使他们使用合法药物的动机。通过一份包含四个开放式问题的问卷收集数据，该问卷应用于墨西哥中部地区一所公立大学的15名学生。为了进行数据分析，答案被分为两类：a）本科生对动机一词的理解，以及b）本科生对消费动机的理解。分析表明，学生们识别出两种动机：外部动机和内部动机。外部动机包括家庭、大众媒体和朋友；而内部动机包括个人特征、归属感需求、好奇心、愉悦感和无所事事。
