摘要
We examine the effect of self-control and opportunity on adolescent substance use. When theorizing about the role of opportunity, we believe the "sanction potential" of a given situation should be considered. Our results suggest the effect of self-control on substance use does not depend on the availability of substances in the home (high sanction potential), but friends' substance use (low sanction potential) conditions the effect of self-control on adolescents' smoking, drinking, and marijuana use. Therefore, adolescents with low self-control are more likely to use substances only when they are presented with attractive opportunities that are unlikely to lead to sanctions.
