Abstract

abstract The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between depressive mood and lifetime cannabis use in adolescents, particularly through the mediating role of anxiety and cannabis use effect expectancies, and the moderating role of peer cannabis use. A questionnaire was administered to 1,246 adolescents (16 to 17 years old). Analysis of variance (ANOVA), chi-square, logistic regressions, and mediation/moderation analyses were performed. Results demonstrate that depressive adolescents show a greater probability of cannabis use when they have friends who also consume cannabis. Also, social anxiety has a preventing effect against cannabis use. However, if adolescents have few or no friends who use cannabis, depression does not appear to be a risk factor, and social anxiety becomes a stronger preventing factor against early cannabis use.

青少年大麻使用与抑郁情绪:焦虑、大麻效应预期和同伴使用者的中介/调节作用

本研究的目的是阐明青少年抑郁情绪与终生大麻使用之间的关系，特别是通过焦虑和大麻使用效果预期的中介作用，以及同伴大麻使用的调节作用。对1246名青少年（16至17岁）进行了问卷调查。进行方差分析（ANOVA）、卡方、逻辑回归和中介/调节分析。结果表明，当抑郁的青少年有朋友也吸食大麻时，他们使用大麻的可能性更大。此外，社交焦虑对大麻的使用也有预防作用。然而，如果青少年很少或没有使用大麻的朋友，抑郁似乎不是一个风险因素，社交焦虑成为早期使用大麻的更有力的预防因素。
