Abstract

In this study it was aimed to investigate the psychological factors related with regularly drinking university students’ substance use in a social perspective. Among 1720 students selected with convenience sampling who consumed alcohol with a frequency of at least once a month during the past year were selected as “regular drinkers” (n=586). The Sociotropy and Autonomy Scale, the Beck Hopelessness Scale, the Stress Audit Scale, and the Locus of Control Scale were administrated for data collection. Then, the relationship between ever use of an illicit substance and the aforementioned psychological factors was investigated in high- and low-income groups separately. A low level of Vulnerability to Stress and scoring lower in the Sociotropy Scale were found to be significantly related with a higher risk of substance use among low-income regularly drinking students. In the context of disadvantegous socioeconomic conditions, a low level of sociotropy and a low level of motivation indicate lack of attachment to the society, thus leading to a higher risk for substance use.

Özet

Bu çalışmada düzenli alkol kullanımı olan üniversiteöğrencilerinde madde kullanımı ile ilişkili psikolojik faktörleriaraştırmak amaçlanmıştır. Kolay örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenen1720 öğrenci arasından, son bir yılda ayda en az bir kez alkolkullananlar “düzenli içici” olarak seçilmiştir (n=586). SosyotropiOtonomi Ölçeği, Beck Umutsuzluk Ölçeği, Strese Yatkınlık Ölçeğive Kontrol Odağı Ölçeği veri toplamak amacıyla uygulanmıştır.Düşük ve yüksek gelirli aileye sahip öğrenciler arasındapsikolojik faktörler ve yasa dışı madde kullanımı arasındaki ilişkilojistik regresyon analizi ile incelenmiştir. Yüksek ve düşük gelirgruplarında, yaşam boyu en az bir kez madde kullanımı ve çeşitlipsikolojik faktörlerle ilişkisi ayrı ayrı araştırılmıştır. Düzenli alkolkullanımı olan düşük gelire sahip öğrencilerde, düşük seviyedeStrese Yatkınlık ve düşük Sosyotropi Ölçeği puanları, yüksekmadde kullanma riski ile anlamlı derecede ilişkili bulunmuştur.Bu çalışmanın sonucuna göre, olumsuz sosyoekonomik şartlaraltında; düşük düzeydeki sosyotropi ve motivasyon eksikliği,madde kullanımı için yüksek riske yol açtığını göstermektedir.
