    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Sociology
    • Substance Use Studies

    Background:

    • Understanding motivations behind substance use is crucial for public health.
    • Previous research has explored various psychoactive substances, but comparative analysis of user motivations and associated psychological factors is less common.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the reasons for trying and using coffee, tobacco, liquor, and marijuana.
    • To assess the comparative 'attracting and capturing power' of these substances.
    • To examine the relationship between substance use, guilt, shame, and user contentment.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey-based interviews with 272 individuals aged 11 to 80.
    • Development of a guilt/shame index based on self-reported motives.
    • Comparative analysis of user motivations across four different substances.

    Main Results:

    • Coffee and liquor demonstrated higher 'attracting and capturing power' compared to tobacco and marijuana.
    • Initiation of tobacco and liquor use was linked to greater guilt/shame than coffee or marijuana.
    • A significant portion of tobacco users reported ongoing guilt/shame, contrasting with the general contentment expressed by users of other substances.

    Conclusions:

    • Substance use motivations and associated psychological responses vary significantly across different substances.
    • Tobacco use, in particular, is associated with persistent guilt and shame, suggesting unique psychological underpinnings.
    • Public health interventions may need to consider these differential psychological impacts when addressing substance use behaviors.
