This study developed the Temptation-Coping Questionnaire (TCQ) to help high school students manage substance use temptations. The validated TCQ measures coping strategies, supporting behavioral and cognitive approaches for preventing alcohol and drug use.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Adolescent Health
  • Substance Abuse Prevention

Background:

  • Adolescence is a critical period for substance use initiation.
  • Effective coping strategies are vital for preventing adolescent substance use.
  • Existing measures may not adequately capture coping with specific substance use temptations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the Temptation-Coping Questionnaire (TCQ).
  • To assess high-school students' coping mechanisms in response to substance use temptations.
  • To examine the construct and criterion validity of the TCQ.

Main Methods:

  • Principal components analysis was used to analyze data from 545 high-school students (Grades 9-12).
  • Construct and criterion validity were examined for the identified coping components.

  • The TCQ's correlation with situation appraisal and prediction of current substance use were assessed.

    • Main Results:

    • Two coping components were identified, with one retained based on validity assessments.
    • The retained TCQ component demonstrated strong correlations with situation appraisal.
    • The TCQ component effectively predicted current substance use among adolescents.

    Conclusions:

    • The Temptation-Coping Questionnaire (TCQ) is a valid measure for assessing adolescent coping with substance use temptations.
    • The temptation-coping construct is useful for understanding and intervening in adolescent substance use.
    • Behavioral and cognitive strategies are important for managing alcohol and drug use temptations in high school populations.
