Two hundred college student alcohol and marijuana users rated their desire to drink alcohol and desire to smoke marijuana in or after different settings shown via color photographic slides. Contrary to the compensation hypothesis (that these drugs are used to escape from unpleasant circumstances), desire for both alcohol and marijuana was greater both in and after more pleasant settings than unpleasant ones. These results were more consistent with an amplification hypothesis, that alcohol and marijuana intensify emotions already present.
200名大学生酒精和大麻使用者通过彩色幻灯片展示不同场景，对他们在这些场景中或之后饮酒和吸食大麻的欲望进行了评分。与补偿假说（即这些药物用于逃避不愉快的情况）相反，与不愉快场景相比，在更愉快的场景中以及之后，对酒精和大麻的欲望都更高。这些结果更符合放大假说，即酒精和大麻会强化已有的情绪。
