The mediating effect of anger rumination, coping and conformity motives on the association between hostility and problematic cannabis use.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anger rumination is consistently associated with maladaptive psychopathological outcomes. However, there is a lack of research on the association between problematic cannabis use, cannabis use motives and anger rumination. Coping motives showed positive relationships with negative affectivity and emotion dysregulation, thus it might be possible that coping motives can mediate the effects of hostility and anger rumination on problematic cannabis use.

Aims

The goal of the present study was to examine the mediating role of anger rumination and cannabis use motives on the relationship between hostility and problematic cannabis use.

Methods

The cross-sectional study used a convenience sample of 764 past year cannabis users with a risk for problematic cannabis us
