In turn, this has implications for HIV transmission risk behaviors (e.g., riskier sexual behaviors) that are difficult to treat (Darke et al., 2008).
MA+ is also associated with worse self-efficacy for drug abstinence, or confidence in one’s ability to abstain from future drug use (Lee & Rawson, 2008).
However, general self-efficacy, or the belief in one’s capacity to have control over meaningful events in his/her life, is not been well-studied in MA+ individuals
Furthermore, the potentially additive or interactive impact of general self-efficacy on impulsivity/disinhibition has not been well-studied in MA+ individuals. |
