摘要
对同伴物质使用的误解先前已被认为是对个人使用酒精和非法药物的重大影响。然而,对感知社会规范和相关干预措施的研究通常仅限于酗酒和大麻,没有实证研究探索与“新药”相关的误解。本研究探讨了大学样本(N = 2349)对三类新型药物的使用程度和使用感知:合成大麻素(Spice, K2, Mr. Miyagi, Pot-Pourri等),合成卡西酮(俗称“浴盐”)和丹参。结果表明,总体感知使用显著高于实际报告的使用。与酒精和大麻相比,新兴药物对同伴使用的高估频率尤其高。这一发现令人担忧,因为这些误解有可能影响学生对这些物质的实验,并表明干预的可能目标是对新兴新物质的误解。
Perception vs. reality: an investigation of the misperceptions concerning the extent of peer novel drug use.
Misperceptions of peer substance use have previously been implicated as significant influences on individual use of both alcohol and illicit drugs. However, research on perceived social norms and related interventions are typically limited to binge drinking and marijuana and no empirical studies have explored misperceptions related to "novel drugs." The present study explored the extent of use and perceptions of use among a college sample (N = 2,349) for three categories of novel drugs: synthetic cannabinoids (Spice, K2, Mr. Miyagi, Pot-Pourri, etc.), synthetic cathinones (commonly known as "bath salts"), and Salvia divinorum. Results indicate that overall perceived use was significantly higher than actual reported use. The frequency of overestimation of peer use was particularly large for the emerging drugs when compared to alcohol and marijuana. This finding is concerning as these misperceptions have the potential to influence students toward experimentation with these substances and suggests that a possible target for intervention is misperceptions of emerging novel substances.
