There is relatively little research examining the relationship between identity and marijuana-related outcomes (e.g., marijuana use and consequences). Identity may both directly help shape marijuana use behaviors and moderate the influence of other risk factors on marijuana outcomes.
The current study examines the relationship between marijuana identity and marijuana-related outcomes among emerging adults and explores whether identity moderates the relationships between nonidentity correlates (e.g., perceived norms and negative affect) of marijuana-related outcomes.
College students who reported marijuana use in the past 12 months completed measures of marijuana identity, perceived norms, negative affect, frequency of marijuana use, and marijuana consequences. Conclusions/Importance: The results indicated that marijuana identity is associated with marijuana use frequency and moderates the relationship between perceived norms and marijuana consequences. The findings have implications for both identity-based and social norms-based interventions targeting problematic marijuana use among emerging adults.
目前，关于身份认同与大麻相关结果（例如大麻使用和后果）之间关系的研究相对较少。身份认同可能直接影响大麻使用行为，也可能调节其他风险因素对大麻结果的影响。
本研究考察了成年早期人群中大麻身份认同与大麻相关结果之间的关系，并探讨了身份认同是否调节了与大麻相关结果的非身份相关因素（例如，感知规范和负性情绪）之间的关系。
在过去 12 个月内报告使用过大麻的大学生完成了大麻身份认同、感知规范、负性情绪、大麻使用频率和大麻后果的测量。
结论/意义：结果表明，大麻身份认同与大麻使用频率相关，并且调节了感知规范与大麻后果之间的关系。这些发现对以身份为基础和以社会规范为基础的干预措施具有重要意义，这些措施针对的是成年早期人群中存在问题的大麻使用。
