The current study tested the hypothesis that tension reduction expectancies mediate the relationship between anxiety symptoms and marijuana use.
Interview data for 332 young adult females from Southern New England were collected from 2004 to 2009.
In structural equation modeling, anxiety symptoms had a significant direct effect (b(yx) = 0.227, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.086-0.369, p < 0.05) on tension reduction expectancies and a significant indirect effect (b(yx) = 0.026, 95% CI 0.010-0.046, p < 0.05) on marijuana use.
The effect of anxiety symptoms on marijuana use was fully mediated by tension reduction expectancies. Implications for tension reduction as a possible component of treatment interventions are discussed.
本研究旨在验证这样一个假设,即缓解紧张的预期会调节焦虑症状与大麻使用之间的关系。
2004 年至 2009 年期间,从新英格兰南部的 332 名年轻成年女性那里收集了访谈数据。
在结构方程模型中,焦虑症状对缓解紧张的预期有显著的直接影响(b(yx) = 0.227,95%置信区间[CI] 0.086-0.369,p < 0.05),对大麻使用也有显著的间接影响(b(yx) = 0.026,95%CI 0.010-0.046,p < 0.05)。
焦虑症状对大麻使用的影响完全通过缓解紧张的预期来介导。讨论了将缓解紧张作为治疗干预的一个可能组成部分的意义。
