Abstract

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati čestinu konzumacije ilegalnih psihoaktivnih tvari i alkohola
kod mladih te utvrditi u kojoj mjeri je konzumacija navedenih tvari određena mračnom trijadom
ličnosti (makijavelizmom, narcizmom i psihopatijom), sklonosti traženju uzbuđenja i načinima
nošenja sa stresom. Istraživanje je provedeno sa 367 mladih osoba u dobi od 18 do 30 godina.
Upitnik je poslan online anketom, a sastojao se od: sociodemografskih pitanja, Kratkog upitnika
mračne trijade... More (Jones i Paulhus, 2013), Upitnika suočavanja sa stresom (Carver, Scheier i
Weintraub, 1989) i Skale traženja uzbuđenja (Forma V, Zuckerman i sur., 1978). Dobiveni
rezultati ukazuju na to kako mladi u pogledu konzumacije ilegalnih psihoaktivnih tvari najčešće
konzumiraju marihuanu, nakon čega slijede psihostimulansi (kokain, speed, ice i sl.), pa
psihostimulansi s karakteristikama halucinogena (ecstasy i MDMA) i na posljetku
halucinogene droge (LSD, psihoaktivne gljive, PCP). U ovom istraživanju dobiveno je kako
mladi piju alkohol umjereno do često. Nakon provedenih hijerarhijskih regresijskih analiza,
utvrđen je statistički značajan prediktivan učinak dobi, spola, psihopatije, makijavelizma,
podložnosti dosadi, dezinhibicije i traženja iskustava životnoj prevalenciji konzumacije
psihoaktivnih tvari, na način da su prediktori zajedno objasnili 45,1% varijance konzumacije
psihoaktivnih tvari, dok su predikciji čestine konzumacije alkohola statistički značajan doprinos
pokazali suočavanje sa stresom usmjereno na izbjegavanje, dezinhibicija i traženje uzbuđenja i
avantura objašnjavajući 19,6% varijance. Ove spoznaje korisne su kako u teorijskim, tako i u
praktičkim domenama psihologije u pogledu detekcije rizičnih skupina za kasniju konzumaciju
psihoaktivnih tvari i alkohola. Less

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study was to examine the illegal psychoactive substances and alcohol use in
young people to determine the extent to which consumption was defined by the Dark triad of
personality (Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy), Sensation seeking and Coping
orientations to problems experienced. The study was conducted on 367 young people aged 18
to 30 years. The questionnaire was sent online, composed of: sociodemographic questions, the
Short Dark Triad (Jones and... More Paulhus, 2013), Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced
(Carver, Scheier, & Weintraub, 1989), and the Sensation Seeking Scale (Form V, Zuckerman
et al., 1978). The results indicate that young people most commonly use marihuana, followed
by psychostimulants (cocaine, speed, ice, etc.), psychostimulants with the characteristics of
hallucinogens (ecstasy and MDMA) and finally hallucinogenic drugs (LSD, psilocybin, PCP).
In this research, young people drink alcohol moderately to often. After conducting hierarchical
regression analyzes, the predictors of psychoactive substances use that were statistically
significant were age, gender, psychopathy, Machiavellianism, boredom susceptibility,
disinhibition and experience seeking, explaining 45.1% of total variance. Statistically
significant predictors of alcohol consumption were: avoiding as a way of coping with stress,
disinhibition and thrill and adventure seeking, explaining 19.6% of total variance. These
findings are useful in both the theoretical and practical domains of psychology in terms of
detecting groups high at risk for later consumption of psychoactive substances and alcohol. Less
