Objective:

Implicit cannabis associations (ICAs) inconsistently predict cannabis use (CU), and little is known about their formation. Personality, behavioral approach and inhibition, were tested as predictors of ICAs, which in turn, was expected to predict CU (mediation). Peer context was tested as a moderator.

Method:

Data were taken from three annual assessments of a larger longitudinal study. The community sample (314 emerging adults, mean age = 19.13, 54% female, 76% White/non-Hispanic at the first assessment) completed an ICA task and questionnaire assessments of CU, personality, and peer norms.

Results:

ICAs were positively associated with CU at high but not low levels of perceived peer approval/use. Behavioral inhibition was negatively associated ICAs, which in turn, predicted infrequent CU at high levels of peer approval/use (moderated mediation). Behavioral approach was marginally associated with ICAs.

Conclusions:

Peer context and personality are important for understanding the formation of ICAs and their association with CU.

大麻内隐联想的情境化：对同龄人和个性的考虑

客观的：

隐性大麻协会 (ICA) 不一致地预测大麻使用 (CU)，并且对其形成知之甚少。人格、行为方法和抑制作为 ICA 的预测因子进行了测试，而 ICA 又有望预测 CU（调解）。对等上下文作为主持人进行了测试。

方法：

数据取自一项更大的纵向研究的三个年度评估。社区样本（314 名新兴成年人，平均年龄 = 19.13，54% 女性，76% 白人/非西班牙裔在第一次评估时）完成了 CU、个性和同伴规范的 ICA 任务和问卷评估。

结果：

ICA 与 CU 呈正相关，但感知到的同行认可/使用水平不低。行为抑制与 ICA 呈负相关，ICA 反过来预测在高水平的同行认可/使用（适度调解）下很少出现 CU。行为方法与 ICA 略有相关。

结论：

同伴背景和个性对于理解 ICA 的形成及其与 CU 的关联很重要。
