Young adulthood (18-25) is the peak age for substance use, but friends who engage in positive behaviors may be protective. The present study examined the direct relation between positive peer affiliation and substance use, and whether positive peer affiliation moderated the relation between self-reported sensation-seeking, future orientation, self-regulation and substance use. Participants were 382 college students ( = 19.25, = 1.33). Participants completed questionnaires assessing substance use, peer affiliation, sensation-seeking, future orientation, and self-regulation. In structural equation models, positive peer affiliation was negatively associated with drunk driving, cigarette use, and marijuana use; and moderated relations between sensation-seeking and substance use, but not cognitive control in the predicted direction. Substance use remains a salient public health concern for college students, but the current study found that having friends who generally engage in positive activities is an important buffer against socioemotional risk factors.
青年期(18 - 25岁)是物质使用的高峰期,但有积极行为的朋友可能具有保护作用。本研究考察了积极同伴关系与物质使用之间的直接关系,以及积极同伴关系是否调节了自我报告的冒险倾向、未来取向、自我调节与物质使用之间的关系。参与者为382名大学生(平均年龄 = 19.25岁,标准差 = 1.33)。参与者完成了评估物质使用、同伴关系、冒险倾向、未来取向和自我调节的问卷。在结构方程模型中,积极同伴关系与酒后驾车、吸烟和使用大麻呈负相关;调节了冒险倾向与物质使用之间的关系,但未按预测方向调节认知控制。物质使用仍然是大学生面临的一个突出的公共卫生问题,但当前研究发现,有通常参与积极活动的朋友是抵御社会情感风险因素的重要缓冲。
