Alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana are commonly used substances among adolescents. In the context of the Biopsychosocial Model (BPSM), this study investigated the relationships between psychological and normative factors associated with adolescent alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana use. Data were analyzed from 1053 middle and high school students. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the relationships between BPSM constructs. Results indicate that latent constructs of the BPSM are significant antecedent factors to alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana use; however, the relationships between study constructs were inconsistent with those theorized by BPSM. Findings support the importance of theory testing for complex models applied to new topics and new populations.
酒精、烟草和大麻是青少年常用的物质。在生物心理社会模型(BPSM)的背景下,本研究调查了与青少年酒精、烟草和大麻使用相关的心理因素和规范因素之间的关系。对1053名中学生和高中生的数据进行了分析。采用结构方程模型来检验BPSM各构念之间的关系。结果表明,BPSM的潜在构念是酒精、烟草和大麻使用的重要先行因素;然而,研究中的构念之间的关系与BPSM理论化的关系不一致。研究结果支持了对应用于新主题和新人群的复杂模型进行理论检验的重要性。
