Sažetak
Self-determination theory presents a macro- theory of human motivation that has been applied to many risky behaviours. Nevertheless, there is a scarce literature on the role of this theory in predicting cannabinoids consumption. The aim of this study was to determine how well some constructs of self- determination theory and personality (extraversion, consciousness and neuroticism) predict the cannabinoids consumption among male and female students that live in student dormitories in Zagreb. In a sample of 438 students (37.9% males and 62.1% females) that live in student dormitories in Zagreb the following instruments were applied: The Learning Climate Questionnaire (Williams & Deci, 1996), Self-Determination Scale (Sheldon & Deci, 1993), adapted version of the General Causality Orientations Scale (Deci & Ryan, 1985), General Need Satisfaction Scale – autonomy subscale (Gagne, 2003), International Personality Item Pool (IPIP50) - extraversion, consciousness and neuroticism subscales ; and the question on lifetime prevalence of cannabionids consumption (number of days). Separate hierarchical regression analysis for men and women were conducted with a number of days person consumed cannabinoids in a lifetime as a criterion and personality, autonomous and control causality orientations, self- determination, need for autonomy and perception of autonomy support as predictors. The proposed model failed to explain the cannabinoids consumption among men. Among women, the tested model explained 8.6% of variance of cannabinoids consumption. Significant predictors were extraversion, autonomous causality orientation, and the need for autonomy. Implications for prevention practise are considered.
