目前的研究试图测试Herrnstein（1970）匹配定律在预测自然环境中发生的药物使用方面的效用。参与者是206名大学生。行为分配测量两个同时可用的活动集：那些从事，而使用或药物和/或酒精（药物相关）的影响下，那些从事时，药物免费。回归分析的结果表明，毒品使用的预测得到改善，从无毒活动，这进入模型的负系数值收到的加强。基于匹配律方程的配筋率的增加也解释了唯一方差。结果表明，应用行为理论的选择药物使用的效用，并强调其更广泛的环境背景下查看行为的重要性。(C)1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
The current study sought to test the utility of Herrnstein's (1970) matching law in predicting drug use occurring in the natural environment. Participants were 206 college students. Behavioral allocation was measured across two concurrently available sets of activities: those engaged in while using or under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol (drug related) and those engaged in when drug free. Results from regression analyses indicate that predictions of drug use are improved with the addition of reinforcement received from drug-free activities, which enters the model with a negative coefficient value. The addition of a reinforcement ratio, based on matching law equations, also accounted for unique variance. Results demonstrate the utility of applying behavioral theories of choice to drug use and highlight the importance of viewing behaviors within their broader environmental context.
