Young adults use cannabis and experience negative consequences at high rates. Cannabis use motives include coping, conformity, enhancement, expansion, and social. Savoring involves focusing attention on positive events to intensify positive emotions. Savoring might be differentially protective or risky when considering motives in relation to cannabis outcomes. We examined the interactions between cannabis motives and savoring on cannabis frequency and consequences. Young adults ( = 154) who used cannabis at least weekly in the past month completed self-report measures. The interaction between coping and savoring was associated with cannabis use frequency ( = -0.04, = .001), such that coping motives were positively associated with cannabis use frequency at low levels of savoring ( = 0.80, = .002), but negatively associated with cannabis use frequency at high levels of savoring ( = -0.80, = .002). The interaction between coping and savoring was associated with cannabis-related consequences ( = 0.01, < .001), such that coping motives were positively associated with cannabis-related consequences at low levels of savoring ( = 0.44, < .001), but not at high levels of savoring ( = 0.10, = .47). Savoring may protect against the effects of coping motives on cannabis use frequency and related consequences. While these findings are preliminary, future work should explore how a savoring intervention might improve cannabis outcomes via changes in coping motives.
年轻人使用大麻的比例很高,且会经历负面后果。使用大麻的动机包括应对、从众、增强体验、拓展意识和社交。品味涉及将注意力集中在积极事件上以强化积极情绪。在考虑与大麻使用结果相关的动机时,品味可能具有不同程度的保护作用或风险。我们研究了大麻使用动机与品味对大麻使用频率和后果的相互作用。在过去一个月中至少每周使用一次大麻的154名年轻人完成了自我报告测量。应对动机与品味之间的相互作用与大麻使用频率相关(β = -0.04,p = 0.001),即应对动机在低品味水平时与大麻使用频率呈正相关(β = 0.80,p = 0.002),但在高品味水平时与大麻使用频率呈负相关(β = -0.80,p = 0.002)。应对动机与品味之间的相互作用与大麻相关后果相关(β = 0.01,p < 0.001),即应对动机在低品味水平时与大麻相关后果呈正相关(β = 0.44,p < 0.001),但在高品味水平时则不然(β = 0.10,p = 0.47)。品味可能会抵御应对动机对大麻使用频率和相关后果的影响。虽然这些发现是初步的,但未来的研究应探索品味干预如何通过改变应对动机来改善大麻使用结果。
