本研究探讨了在一个大型的多民族，城市样本（N = 995），在中学和年轻的成年人物质使用的情感自我调节技能的轨迹之间的关系。在中学期间，参与者完成了一项用于控制消极，不愉快情绪或感知压力的认知和行为技能的测量。作为年轻人，参与者在电话采访中报告了他们使用酒精，香烟和大麻的频率和数量。控制人口统计学变量，自我调节在青春期没有显著变化，尽管参与者的增长率和下降率有显著差异。较低的七年级自我调节和自我调节的不太陡峭的增长是较高的年轻成人物质使用的预测。男性参与者有显着较低的初始自我调节和较高的年轻成人物质使用。结果表明，在青春期建立情感自我调节技能的干预措施可能会降低年轻人使用药物的风险。
This study explored the relationship between trajectories of affective self-regulation skills during secondary school and young adult substance use in a large multi-ethnic, urban sample (N = 995). During secondary school, participants completed a measure of cognitive and behavioral skills used to control negative, unpleasant emotions or perceived stress. As young adults, participants reported on the frequency and quantity of their alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use in a telephone interview. Controlling for demographic variables, self-regulation did not significantly change over adolescence, although there was significant variation in participants’ rates of growth and decline. Lower seventh grade self-regulation and less steep increases in self-regulation were predictive of higher young adult substance use. Male participants had significantly lower initial self-regulation and higher young adult substance use. The results suggest that interventions that build affective self-regulation skills in adolescence may decrease the risk of young adult substance use.
