Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of mediation in the components of temperament, character and individual beliefs the relationship between family-social factors and substances use. The research method was descriptive-correlational. All the 18-35 year-old substance consumer men in Qom who were coming to camps and Qom addiction centers in 1396 and 1397, were the statistical population. A sample of 320 people was selected by targeted method. The research tools included High Risk Behaviors Questionnaire for Adults by Mohammad khani, the Causes of substances abuse Tendency Scale by Mohammadi et al., Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory and Luthans Psychosocial Capital Questionnaire. The proposed model was evaluated based on Amos. The model was well suited for fitting goodness indicators. The family had indirect effects on substances use through positive attitude towards substances, self-directiveness and Self-Transcedenc. Friends had indirect effects on substances use through positive attitudes toward substances, harm avoidance and self-directiveness. The substances market indirectly affected substances use through a positive attitude towards substances. positive attitude towards substances and harm avoidance had a direct and positive impact on substances use and self-directiveness and Self-Transcedenc had a direct and significantly negative effect (p≤0/01). The findings were in line with the results of similar previous studies and an important step to explain the factors affecting substances use and a model for designing comprehensive prevention programs for high-risk behaviors.
