We explored whether purpose in life and mastery predicted perceived physical health and problematic substance use among a sample of emerging adults who reported ever using alcohol or drugs. We examined perceived stress and coping as potential mediators of these associations and explored whether parental support moderated any of these associations. In a sample of emerging adults from across the United States (N = 2,564; M = 20.87, standard deviation = 1.75; 49.6% male), purpose in life and mastery were associated with better-perceived health and fewer negative consequences of drug use via lower perceived stress and coping. In addition, parental support modified the relationship between purpose in life and stress and coping. The findings suggest potential health benefits associated with a greater purpose in life and mastery and indicate that parental support may enhance these associations.
我们探究了生活目的和掌控感是否可以预测曾使用过酒精或药物的成年早期人群的身体健康感知和物质使用问题。我们研究了感知压力和应对方式作为这些关联的潜在中介，并探讨了父母支持是否调节了这些关联中的任何一个。在一项来自美国各地的成年早期人群样本中（N=2564；M=20.87，标准差=1.75；49.6%为男性），生活目的和掌控感通过降低感知压力和应对方式与更好的健康感知和更少的药物使用不良后果相关。此外，父母支持改变了生活目的和压力与应对方式之间的关系。这些发现表明与更高的生活目的和掌控感相关的潜在健康益处，并表明父母支持可能会增强这些关联。
