“…Despite this, there remains evidence that the mechanisms described in social learning theory are relevant over such selection effects (Boman IV, 2017; Boman IV & Mowen, 2018). While social learning processes described here have been found to predict substance use (Kruis et al, 2020; Orak et al, 2020; Watkins, 2016), there remain gaps in our understanding of this relationship. One omission here is the potential that deviant peer association may moderate the relationship between BPD and substance use.…”

Borderline personality disorder has been identified as a robust risk factor predicting substance use. There is a dearth of research examining how peer ties may condition this relationship. This study hypothesized that deviant peer association would amplify the relationship between Borderline personality disorder (BPD) symptoms and substance use. The Pathways to Desistance data were analyzed. Ordered logistic regression was used to analyze data. Results indicated that elevated levels of BPD symptoms predicted increased substance use frequency. Deviant peer association moderated the effects of BPD symptoms on marijuana use frequency and daily cigarette use. This moderation effect was in the opposite direction hypothesized, indicating that greater levels of deviant peer association dulled the effect on BPD symptoms on substance use. The unexpected effect indicated that youth reporting symptoms may be buffered against the impact of strain by having any peer relationships, even deviant ones.

“…The number of conscripts in the general military population at the time of the survey was about 330,000, with the majority of conscripts serving in the Land Forces, followed by the Gendarmerie Command. Given that military service is compulsory and a large proportion of young males join the military at a critical stage in their lives, the Turkish military operates as a significant source of socialization that may shape their identities, perceptions, and behavioral patterns both in the short and long terms (Orak et al, 2020).…”

Strain is an indivisible part of the military experience. Despite the well-documented association between strain and deviance in civilian settings, however, whether common forms of strain in the military produce deviant reactions among soldiers has yet to be established. In this study, we investigate the associations among various forms of strain and deviant behaviors among military service-members. Additionally, we examine the effects of mediating mechanisms linking strain to deviance through the lens of General Strain Theory (GST). We found that strain factors were all positively associated with each deviant behavior. Among the mediating factors, anger partially mediated the relationships between strain and all three deviant behaviors, while depression partially mediated only the relationship between strain and heavy alcohol use.
