The current study examined the unique predictive ability of tolerance of specific negative affective states in relation to frequency of past-month cannabis use and coping-oriented cannabis use motives. 416 undergraduates who reported past 30 day cannabis use (65.1% female; = 19.46, = 2.56). Participants completed self-report questionnaires for course credit. After accounting for the effects of sex, negative affectivity, and tolerance of other specific negative affective states, lower levels of tolerance for sadness, but not any other negative affective states, significantly predicted more frequent cannabis use in the past 30 days (1.1% unique variance) and coping motives (1.1% unique variance). These findings suggest that cannabis users who have difficulty withstanding sad mood states use cannabis more frequently and are motivated to use cannabis to cope with this specific mood state and not necessarily negative affective states more broadly.
当前的研究考察了对特定负面情绪状态的耐受性与过去一个月大麻使用频率及以应对为导向的大麻使用动机之间独特的预测能力。416名报告在过去30天内使用过大麻的本科生(65.1%为女性;平均年龄=19.46岁,标准差=2.56)。参与者通过完成自我报告问卷来获取课程学分。在考虑了性别、负面情感性以及对其他特定负面情绪状态的耐受性的影响后,对悲伤情绪的较低耐受性,而非对任何其他负面情绪状态的耐受性,显著预测了过去30天内更频繁的大麻使用(独特方差为1.1%)以及应对动机(独特方差为1.1%)。这些发现表明,难以承受悲伤情绪状态的大麻使用者更频繁地使用大麻,并且有动机使用大麻来应对这种特定的情绪状态,而不一定是更广泛意义上的负面情绪状态。
