Marijuana Consumption and Reactivity Are Positively Associated with the Fading Affect Bias for Marijuana Events in Person and Online
= 232). Analyses included ANOVAs to examine fading affect across initial event affect and event type, and Process Model 1 was used to evaluate the fading affect bias across initial event affect in 2-way interactions with continuous variables. Process Model 3 was used to investigate fading affect across initial event affect and event type in 3-way interactions with continuous variables. Both experiments showed a robust FAB that was positively related to adaptive variables and negatively related to non-adaptive variables, and it was positively related to marijuana consumption/reactivity. In addition, the positive relations between FAB and marijuana consumption (hours) and reactivity (highness) measures in Experiment 1 and a marijuana reactivity measure (highness) in Experiment 2 were only found for marijuana events. Implications, limitations, and future research directions are discussed.
