本研究分析了青少年烟草、酒精和大麻使用中的同伴影响与同伴选择机制。参与者被调查了3次，间隔1年，关于同龄人和自己的药物使用情况；样本1有1190名参与者（初始平均年龄= 12.4岁），样本2有1277名参与者（初始平均年龄= 11.5岁）。基于综合得分的潜在增长分析表明，最初的同伴使用与青少年使用的变化率呈正相关，支持影响机制；几乎没有证据表明存在选择机制。气质困难、自我控制能力差和倾向偏差的态度与同伴和青少年使用的初始水平有关。结论：同伴影响是青春期中期的主要机制。性情相关的属性可能会导致早期实验和异常同伴关系。
This study analyzed peer-influence versus peer-selection mechanisms in adolescent tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana use. Participants were surveyed 3 times, with 1-year intervals, about peers' substance use and their own use; Sample 1 had 1,190 participants (initial mean age= 12.4 years), Sample 2 had 1,277 participants (initial mean age= 11.5 years). Latent growth analyses that were based on composite scores indicated that initial peer use was positively related to rate of change in adolescent use, supporting the influence mechanism; there was little evidence for a selection mechanism. Difficult temperament, poor self-control, and deviance-prone attitudes were related to initial levels for both peer and adolescent use. It is concluded that peer influence is the primary mechanism during middle adolescence. Temperament-related attributes may be predisposing to early experimentation and deviant-peer affiliations.
