Abstract

Previous research has found mixed results regarding the association between acculturation and substance use in Hispanic populations. Additional research is warranted to examine relations among facets of acculturation, particularly acculturative stress, and marijuana use. The purpose of this study was to examine whether self-esteem mediates the relation between acculturative stress and a lifetime history of marijuana use among a sample of Hispanic college students. Hispanic college students (N = 204; Mean age = 20.3 years) from a large southwestern university participated in an online study and reported on lifetime marijuana use, self-esteem, and acculturative stress. We evaluated the hypothesis that self-esteem would mediate the relation between acculturative stress and the likelihood of reporting a history of marijuana use, utilizing Hayes’ SPSS macro, which provides estimates of boot-strapped confidence intervals for the indirect effect. Results showed that self-esteem did not significantly mediate the relation between acculturative stress and likelihood of marijuana use [b = .157, 95% CI (−.003, .017)]. Future studies might examine other facets of acculturation in relation to substance use, utilizing a longitudinal approach to better understand these associations.

西班牙裔大学生的自尊、异文化压力与大麻使用

之前的研究发现，在西班牙裔人群中，文化适应和药物使用之间的关系存在不同的结果。需要进一步的研究来检验文化适应方面，特别是文化适应压力和大麻使用之间的关系。本研究的目的是在西班牙裔大学生样本中检验自尊是否介导了异文化压力和大麻使用史之间的关系。西班牙裔大学生(N = 204;平均年龄为20.3岁)，来自西南一所大型大学，他们参与了一项在线研究，并报告了终身吸食大麻、自尊和异文化压力的情况。我们利用Hayes的SPSS宏来评估自尊会介导异文化压力和报告大麻使用历史的可能性之间的关系的假设，该宏提供了间接影响的bootstrap置信区间的估计。结果表明，自尊在异文化压力与大麻使用可能性之间没有显著的中介作用[b =]。157, 95% ci(−。003年,.017)]。未来的研究可能会考察与物质使用有关的文化适应的其他方面，利用纵向方法更好地了解这些关联。
