摘要

This study explored contextual family therapy as a framework for understanding substance misuse, focusing on relational ethics as a key component. Using cross-sectional survey data from a national registry sample (n = 183) recruited through ResearchMatch, we examined associations between substance misuse and contextual facts (e.g., gender, residence), psychological factors, relational dynamics, and relational ethics. Findings showed that higher scores in relational ethics scores such as trust, justice, fairness and loyalty in individuals in a current romantic relationship were significantly associated with lower substance misuse. Findings also showed that contextual factors such as gender and area of residence influenced substance misuse patterns. These results support the relevance of contextual family therapy in conceptualizing substance misuse, suggesting that both relational and demographic contexts are critical targets for prevention and intervention.
