Psychological and behavioural changes are associated with anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) use. Changes in personality, moods and self-esteem following weight training have also been reported. The fact that nearly all AAS users are also dedicated weight trainers has often been overlooked in studies examining the relationship between AAS use and behavioural change. A triad may exist between AAS use, weight training and behavioural change (including dependence). It is also possible that changes frequently attributed to AAS use may also reflect changes resulting from the concurrent use of other substances such as alcohol, and from dietary manipulation including food supplements. Weight training and related practices should be considered potential confounding factors in future studies designed to examine the psychological and behavioural effects of AAS.
心理和行为变化与合成代谢雄激素类固醇（AAS）的使用有关。也有报道称，举重训练后会出现性格、情绪和自尊的变化。在研究AAS使用与行为变化之间的关系时，几乎所有AAS使用者也是专注的举重训练者这一事实常常被忽视。AAS使用、举重训练和行为变化（包括成瘾）之间可能存在一个三联征。此外，经常归因于AAS使用的变化也可能反映出同时使用其他物质（如酒精）以及饮食控制（包括食用补充剂）所导致的变化。在未来旨在研究AAS心理和行为影响的研究中，举重训练及相关行为应被视为潜在的混杂因素。
