Résumé :
This study investigated whether a measure of delay discounting was associated with substance use variables in a sample of college students. Participants (N = 47) completed a substance use survey and a delay-discounting measure that asked them to make a series of choices between a fixed amount of hypothetical money to be delivered immediately and a larger amount to be delivered after a range of delays. Discounting values were significantly associated with a number of substance use variables, most notably age of first alcohol use (r = - .34 ; P < .05), age of first smoking (r = - .51 ; P < .05), age of first marijuana use (r = - .48 ; P < .05), number of times "passed out" from alcohol use (r = .73 ; P < .01), and total number of illicit drugs used (r = .32 ; P < .05). Individuals reporting more illicit drug use and younger ages of first use tend to discount the value of future hypothetical rewards more steeply than their peers. (Editor's abstract.)
