| | Unformatted Document Text:
Sensation Seeking and Impulsivity 1
Abstract
Research over the past decades has found that adolescent drug use is intricately
entwined with serious personal and social problems, including personality trait
tendencies, peer pressure, family dysfunction and abuse, and poor school climate. Using
structural equation modeling, this study tries to incorporate a set of personal and
interpersonal factors to predict marijuana use among a sample of adolescents in two U.S.
cities. The study found that sensation seeking rather than impulsivity contributes directly
to adolescents’ marijuana use, while the indirect contributions of the personality traits on
marijuana use work through the interplay of risk/protective factors, the adolescents’
beliefs about, attitudes toward and intentions to using marijuana.
