Abstract
The current study examined whether sex moderates associations between emotion dysregulation (overall and six dimensions of emotion dysregulation) and problematic cannabis use. 741 adult past-month cannabis users (31.44% female) completed questionnaires on problematic cannabis use (Marijuana Problems Scale) and emotion dysregulation (Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale). Mann-Whitney U tests and hierarchical multiple linear regressions were performed. Male cannabis users reported greater difficulties with overall emotion dysregulation, nonacceptance, goals, impulse, strategies, and clarity. Overall emotion dysregulation, nonacceptance, goals, impulse, and strategies were associated with more severe problematic cannabis use, with relationships weaker in female cannabis users. Lack of emotional awareness was associated with less severe problematic cannabis use in male cannabis users only. Examining individual differences in emotion dysregulation as they relate to problematic cannabis use suggests that treatments may need to be tailored for male cannabis users with a focus on specific emotion dysregulation dimensions.
本研究探讨了性别是否会调节情绪失调(总体情绪失调和六个方面的情绪失调)与问题性吸食大麻之间的关系。741 名过去一个月吸食大麻的成年人(31.44% 为女性)填写了关于问题性吸食大麻(大麻问题量表)和情绪失调(情绪调节困难量表)的问卷。结果进行了曼-惠特尼 U 检验和分层多元线性回归。男性大麻使用者在总体情绪失调、不接受、目标、冲动、策略和清晰度方面遇到的困难更大。总体情绪失调、不接受、目标、冲动和策略与更严重的大麻使用问题相关,而女性大麻使用者的关系较弱。只有男性大麻使用者缺乏情绪意识与较轻的问题大麻使用有关。研究情绪失调与问题性吸食大麻之间的个体差异表明,可能需要为男性大麻使用者量身定制治疗方案,重点关注特定的情绪失调维度。
