This study examined the stability of adolescent drug use into young adulthood and explored the possible influence of personality on adolescent and adult drug use. Participants in this longitudinal study (N = 640) completed questionnaires which assessed multiple indicators for latent constructs of tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, and hard drugs, and also for the personality constructs of Socialization. In addition, the effects of obedience and extraversion were examined. Results showed that a general drug use factor in adolescence significantly predicted young adult drug use. A particular effect of adolescent obedience on adult drug use was noted. Within adolescence, obedience, extraversion, and the construct of Socialization were significant predictors of drug use. Early onset of smoking predicted adolescent drug use. The implications of these findings for early drug use education and intervention are discussed. Additional analysis explored the possibility of treating obedience as another indicator of Socialization. This model could not provide as good a fit as the original model. The measure of obedience acted as a better predictor of drug use than an overall factor of Socialization. Gender differences are discussed.
本研究考察了青少年药物使用情况在青年期的稳定性，并探讨了人格对青少年及成人药物使用可能产生的影响。这项纵向研究的参与者（N = 640）完成了问卷调查，这些问卷评估了烟草、酒精、大麻和硬性毒品潜在结构的多个指标，以及社会化人格结构的指标。此外，还考察了服从性和外向性的影响。结果表明，青少年时期的一般药物使用因素能显著预测青年期的药物使用情况。研究注意到青少年服从性对成人药物使用有特定影响。在青少年时期，服从性、外向性和社会化结构是药物使用的显著预测因素。吸烟的早发情况可预测青少年的药物使用。讨论了这些发现对早期药物使用教育和干预的意义。进一步分析探讨了将服从性视为社会化的另一个指标的可能性。该模型的拟合度不如原始模型。服从性测量比社会化总体因素更能有效预测药物使用情况。文中还讨论了性别差异。
