BACKGROUND
Greater levels of sensation seeking are associated with experiencing more marijuana-related consequences (MRC). Protective behavioral strategies (PBS) use is associated with both the lower frequency of marijuana use and fewer marijuana-related consequences. However, research has not examined whether PBS use mediates the relation between sensation seeking and MRC.
METHODS
The current study is a secondary data analysis of the initial Marijuana Outcomes Study Team data collection. A path analysis was conducted to assess for indirect effects from both risk and experience seeking (facets of sensation seeking) to MRC via frequency of PBS use, controlling for marijuana use frequency.
RESULTS
We found negative relations between both experience seeking and PBS and MRC, and a positive relation between risk seeking and MRC. Furthermore, PBS mediated the relation between both risk and experience seeking and MRC.
CONCLUSIONS
Results suggest that PBS is a mediator of the sensation seeking-MRC relationship. Discussions about selecting and implementing PBS use may be particularly useful for treatment of clients high in risk seeking.
背景
更高水平的感觉寻求与经历更多与大麻相关的后果（MRC）有关。保护性行为策略（PBS）的使用与大麻使用频率较低和与大麻相关的后果较少有关。然而，研究尚未检验 PBS 使用是否在感觉寻求与 MRC 之间起中介作用。
方法
本研究是对初始大麻结果研究团队数据收集的二次数据分析。进行路径分析以评估风险寻求和体验寻求（感觉寻求的方面）通过 PBS 使用频率对 MRC 的间接影响，同时控制大麻使用频率。
结果
我们发现体验寻求和 PBS 与 MRC 之间呈负相关，风险寻求与 MRC 之间呈正相关。此外，PBS 中介了风险和体验寻求与 MRC 之间的关系。
结论
结果表明 PBS 是感觉寻求与 MRC 关系的中介。讨论选择和实施 PBS 使用可能对高风险寻求者的治疗特别有用。
