目的：尽管一些社交网络研究已经证明同伴影响对青少年药物使用的影响，但大麻使用的研究结果却模棱两可。本研究探讨了友谊的结构特征是否会随着时间的推移调节朋友对青少年大麻使用的影响。方法：利用国家青少年健康纵向研究的一年纵向数据，本文研究了友谊的三个结构特征是否会调节朋友对青少年大麻使用的影响：友谊是否得到回报、指定朋友的受欢迎程度以及指定朋友与青少年之间的受欢迎程度/地位差异。样本由第一波 10/11 年级的学生和第二波 11/12 年级的学生组成，来自两所拥有完整年级友谊网络数据的大型学校 (N=1,612)。 结果：在一所学校中，与非互惠关系相比，朋友对大麻使用的影响更有可能发生在相互的、互惠的友谊中。在另一所学校，当朋友在学校环境中相对受欢迎或比青少年本身更受欢迎时，朋友的影响力更强。结论：朋友对青少年吸食大麻的影响可能会以不同的方式发挥作用，具体取决于学校环境。在一所学校中，影响力主要发生在可能以亲密和信任为特征的互惠关系中，而在另一所学校中，采用朋友的吸毒行为似乎是获得社会地位的一种策略。需要进一步的研究来更好地了解友谊的结构特征在何种条件下调节朋友对青少年吸食大麻的影响。 (C) 2014 年青少年健康与医学协会。版权所有。
Purpose: Although several social network studies have demonstrated peer influence effects on adolescent substance use, findings for marijuana use have been equivocal. This study examines whether structural features of friendships moderate friends' influence on adolescent marijuana use over time.Methods: Using 1-year longitudinal data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, this article examines whether three structural features of friendships moderate friends' influence on adolescent marijuana use: whether the friendship is reciprocated, the popularity of the nominated friend, and the popularity/status difference between the nominated friend and the adolescent. The sample consists of students in grade 10/11 at wave I, who were in grade 11/12 at wave II, from two large schools with complete grade-based friendship network data (N=1,612).Results: In one school, friends' influence on marijuana use was more likely to occur within mutual, reciprocated friendships compared with nonreciprocated relationships. In the other school, friends' influence was stronger when the friends were relatively popular within the school setting or much more popular than the adolescents themselves.Conclusions: Friends' influence on youth marijuana use may play out in different ways, depending on the school context. In one school, influence occurred predominantly within reciprocated relationships that are likely characterized by closeness and trust, whereas in the other school adopting friends' drug use behaviors appeared to be a strategy to attain social status. Further research is needed to better understand the conditions under which structural features of friendships moderate friends' influence on adolescent marijuana use.
