The relationship of measures of sensation seeking and trait anxiety to drug use and reasons for drug use was studied among a sample of 92 detained or adjudicated adolescent males in a residential detention facility. Experience seeking was found to be related to drug use in general, and especially use of "hard" drugs. Anxiety tended to be related to drug avoidance, except in the case of marijuana and alcohol use. Reasons for drug use which related with experience seeking were excitement and thrill oriented, whereas reasons associated with anxiety were related to feelings of discomfort for this sample. In general, experience seeking was a stronger factor than trait anxiety in these findings. Implications for more action-oriented and less insight-oriented treatment are discussed in light of these results.
在一所寄宿拘留所中，对92名被拘留或被判决的青少年男性样本进行了研究，以探讨寻求刺激和特质焦虑的测量指标与药物使用及用药原因之间的关系。研究发现，寻求体验总体上与药物使用有关，尤其是与“硬性”毒品的使用有关。焦虑往往与避免药物使用有关，但大麻和酒精的使用情况除外。与寻求体验相关的用药原因以兴奋和刺激为导向，而与焦虑相关的原因则与该样本的不适感有关。总体而言，在这些研究结果中，寻求体验是比特质焦虑更强的因素。根据这些结果，讨论了对更注重行动而非洞察力的治疗方法的启示。
