Psychological need satisfaction and need frustration, proposed by self-determination theory, may serve as conditions that foster health-promoting and health-impairing behaviors related to cannabis use. In the present study, we examined the measurement model of psychological need satisfaction and need frustration and their associations with cannabis protective behavioral strategies use, negative cannabis-related consequences, and cannabis use severity. Data were from 1394 college students from 10 universities across the U.S. who reported past-month cannabis use. A higher-order factor model representing general psychological need satisfaction and need frustration provided a good fit to the data. Regressing the three observed cannabis outcome variables onto these higher-order latent factors, we found that greater need satisfaction was associated with more frequent cannabis protective behavioral strategies use and fewer negative cannabis-related consequences. Greater need frustration was associated with greater negative cannabis-related consequences and cannabis use severity. Further, an interaction effect between need satisfaction and need frustration emerged for each cannabis outcome such that greater need satisfaction attenuated the associations between need frustration and cannabis outcomes and greater need frustration strengthened the associations between need satisfaction and cannabis outcomes. Implications for the roles of need satisfaction and need frustration in cannabis use and future intervention development are discussed.
心理需求满足和需求受挫，由自我决定理论提出，可能是促进与大麻使用相关的促进健康和损害健康行为的条件。在本研究中，我们检验了心理需求满足和需求受挫的测量模型，以及它们与大麻保护行为策略的使用、与大麻相关的负面后果和大麻使用严重程度的关系。数据来自美国 10 所大学的 1394 名大学生，他们报告了过去一个月的大麻使用情况。一个代表一般心理需求满足和需求受挫的高阶因子模型为数据提供了很好的拟合。将三个观察到的大麻结果变量回归到这些高阶潜在因子上，我们发现，更大的需求满足与更频繁的大麻保护行为策略使用和更少的与大麻相关的负面后果有关。更大的需求受挫与更大的与大麻相关的负面后果和大麻使用严重程度有关。此外，需求满足和需求受挫对每个大麻结果的交互作用也出现了，即更大的需求满足减弱了需求受挫与大麻结果之间的关联，而更大的需求受挫则加强了需求满足与大麻结果之间的关联。讨论了需求满足和需求受挫在大麻使用和未来干预措施发展中的作用。
