Abstract

Background and objective: A stress-is-enhancing mindset refers to viewing the nature of stress as enhancing rather than debilitating and has been linked to better mental health in response to stressors. We examined the cross-sectional and longitudinal link between stress mindset and two mental health outcomes, depressive symptoms and cannabis use, over the COVID-19 pandemic in a diverse sample of adolescents.

Design and methods: A community sample of adolescents completed measures assessing depressive symptoms, cannabis use, and intentions to use cannabis at three time points (T1: 2018-2020, N = 299, T2: 2020, N = 219, T3: 2021, N = 173). Participants completed the stress mindset measure at T2.

Results: Cross-sectionally, a more stress-is-enhancing mindset was associated with fewer depressive symptoms and reduced intentions to use cannabis, which in turn were associated with less cannabis use. Longitudinally, a more stress-is-enhancing mindset was associated with fewer depressive symptoms and indirectly associated with less future cannabis use through behavioral intentions to use cannabis.

Conclusion: This study establishes a stress-is-enhancing mindset as a protective factor against cannabis use and contributes to a growing literature that stress mindset is protective against depression, indicating that stress mindset may be an important protective factor even in the face of naturalistic, chronic stressors.

压力心态对青少年抑郁症状和大麻使用的横断面和纵向影响。

背景和目的：增强压力的心态指的是将压力的本质视为增强而不是削弱，并且与应对压力源时更好的心理健康有关。在不同的青少年样本中，我们研究了压力心态与两种心理健康结果（抑郁症状和大麻使用）之间的横断面和纵向联系。设计和方法：社区青少年样本在三个时间点（T1: 2018-2020年，N = 299， T2: 2020年，N = 219， T3: 2021年，N = 173）完成了抑郁症状、大麻使用和大麻使用意图的测量。参与者在T2完成压力心态测试。结果：从横截面上看，更能增强压力的心态与较少的抑郁症状和较少的使用大麻的意图有关，而后者又与较少的大麻使用有关。纵向上，压力增强的心态与抑郁症状减少有关，并通过使用大麻的行为意图间接与未来较少使用大麻有关。结论：本研究确立了压力增强心态作为大麻使用的保护因素，并为越来越多的文献表明压力心态对抑郁有保护作用做出了贡献，表明压力心态可能是一个重要的保护因素，即使面对自然的、慢性的压力源。

期刊介绍： This journal provides a forum for scientific, theoretically important, and clinically significant research reports and conceptual contributions. It deals with experimental and field studies on anxiety dimensions and stress and coping processes, but also with related topics such as the antecedents and consequences of stress and emotion. We also encourage submissions contributing to the understanding of the relationship between psychological and physiological processes, specific for stress and anxiety. Manuscripts should report novel findings that are of interest to an international readership. While the journal is open to a diversity of articles.
