The aims of this work were to analyse the relationships between sense of coherence (SOC) and substance use among Spanish adolescents and to examine the potential moderator effect of the patterns of substance use in the peer group. Sample consisted of 5475 Spanish adolescents aged 15 to 18 from the 2010 edition of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study. Statistical analysis included cluster analysis to identify groups of adolescents according to their peer group's patterns of substance use and logistic regression with SOC and peers' pattern of consumption as predictors of current tobacco use, current alcohol use, life-time drunkenness and current drunkenness. The results showed that a strong SOC seemed to reduce the adolescents' likelihood of involving in tobacco use and drunkenness, but it was not associated with being a current drinker. In addition, the protective effect of SOC was moderated by peers' patterns of substance use. Specifically, SOC had a significant protective influence in adolescents whose peer group showed either a nonconsumption pattern or a pattern of frequent alcohol use and occasional drunkenness; but the protective effect of SOC disappeared if peers showed a pattern of consumption that included illegal drugs. In conclusion, SOC tends to act as a protective personal variable with respect to substance use during adolescence, but the influence exerted by the peer group seems to moderate the aforementioned protective effect of SOC.
这项工作的目的是分析西班牙青少年的归属感（SOC）与物质使用之间的关系，并检验同伴群体中物质使用模式的潜在调节作用。样本由来自 2010 年健康行为在学龄儿童（HBSC）研究的 5475 名年龄在 15 至 18 岁的西班牙青少年组成。统计分析包括聚类分析，根据青少年同伴群体的物质使用模式对青少年进行分组，以及使用逻辑回归，将 SOC 和同伴的消费模式作为当前吸烟、当前饮酒、终生醉酒和当前醉酒的预测因子。结果表明，强烈的 SOC 似乎降低了青少年参与吸烟和醉酒的可能性，但与当前饮酒者无关。此外，SOC 的保护作用受到同伴物质使用模式的调节。具体来说，SOC 对同伴群体表现出非消费模式或频繁饮酒和偶尔醉酒模式的青少年有显著的保护作用；但是，如果同伴表现出包括非法药物在内的消费模式，SOC 的保护作用就会消失。总之，SOC 倾向于作为一种保护个人变量，对青少年时期的物质使用产生影响，但同伴群体的影响似乎调节了 SOC 的上述保护作用。
