Abstract

Objective: Substance use expectancies are beliefs about the anticipated effects of substance use, serving as key developmental precursors to adolescent substance use. However, the longitudinal trajectories of these expectancies, both substance-specific and higher order cognitive schemas, remain understudied. This study examined the developmental patterns of positive and negative substance use expectancies about alcohol, marijuana, and nicotine use as well as the time-varying influence of deviant peer affiliation and peer intolerance of substance use as environmental correlates of expectancies.

Method: Adolescent self-reports were drawn from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (N = 11,499; ages 9-13 years). Parallel process and second-order latent growth curve modeling were used to examine trajectories of substance-specific and higher order schemas for expectancies during early adolescence.

Results: Positive substance use expectancies increased across all substance types. Negative expectancies showed distinct developmental patterns by substance: increasing for alcohol, decreasing for marijuana, and remaining stable for nicotine. Deviant peer affiliation was associated with increased positive expectancies, whereas peer intolerance of substance use predicted lower positive and higher negative expectancies across time.

Conclusions: These findings highlight the dynamic development of substance use expectancies in adolescence and support peer influence as a critical factor shaping cognitive vulnerability to future substance use. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).

同伴影响在塑造青少年早期物质使用预期的发展轨迹中的作用。

目的：物质使用期望是对物质使用的预期影响的信念，是青少年物质使用的关键发展前体。然而，这些期望的纵向轨迹，包括物质特异性和高阶认知图式，仍未得到充分研究。本研究考察了酒精、大麻和尼古丁使用的积极和消极物质使用期望的发展模式，以及异常同伴关系和同伴不耐受对物质使用的时变影响作为期望的环境相关因素。方法：青少年自我报告来自青少年大脑认知发展研究（N = 11,499，年龄9-13岁）。平行过程和二阶潜在增长曲线模型用于研究青少年早期物质特异性和高阶期望图式的轨迹。结果：积极的物质使用期望在所有物质类型中都有所增加。不同物质的负性期望表现出不同的发展模式：对酒精的负性期望增加，对大麻的负性期望减少，对尼古丁的负性期望保持稳定。不正常的同伴关系与增加的积极期望有关，而同伴对物质使用的不耐受随着时间的推移预示着较低的积极期望和较高的消极期望。结论：这些发现强调了青少年物质使用预期的动态发展，并支持同伴影响是形成未来物质使用认知脆弱性的关键因素。（PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2026 APA，版权所有）。
