鉴于大麻使用和社交焦虑的高发生率，本调查研究了大麻使用动机，大麻使用和问题，和社交焦虑之间的关系，在159（54.7%女性）的年轻成年人（M年龄= 18.74，SD = 1.20）。正如预期的那样，在与大麻使用和社交焦虑（例如性别，酒精使用问题，焦虑敏感性）相关的一些变量发生协变后，社交焦虑预测了更多的大麻使用问题。有趣的是，社交焦虑与大麻使用频率无关。同样与预测一致的是，社交焦虑是大麻使用的应对和从众动机的一个重要预测因素，超出了相关变量。最后，大麻使用的应对动机介导的社会焦虑和大麻使用问题之间的关系。这些数据为应对动机的大麻使用在大麻相关损害和社交焦虑之间的联系中的独特作用提供了新的证据。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Given the high rates of co-occurring marijuana use and social anxiety, the present investigation examined the relations among marijuana use motives, marijuana use and problems, and social anxiety in 159 (54.7% female) young adults (M-age = 18.74, SD = 1.20). As expected, after covarying for a number of variables related to both marijuana use and social anxiety (e.g. gender, alcohol use problems, anxiety sensitivity), social anxiety predicted greater numbers of marijuana use problems. Interestingly, social anxiety was not related to marijuana use frequency. Also consistent with prediction, social anxiety was a significant predictor of coping and conformity motives for marijuana use above and beyond relevant variables. Finally, coping motives for marijuana use mediated the relation between social anxiety and marijuana use problems. These data provide novel evidence for the unique effects of coping-motivated marijuana use in the link between marijuana-related impairment and social anxiety. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
