The music video I decided to write about is from the artist Tove Lo and is titled Habits. In the lyrics she is talking about a breakup and how she needs to stay high to keep the guy she lost off her mind. In the video she states how the only way she can forget about him is by being “high all the time” in order to not think about him. Tove is revealing that the only way she can cope with the breakup is by using substances as her coping mechanism. I definitely think in this situation that losing her role as a girlfriend has enhanced her behavior to use marijuana as an attempt to manage. I also think that the thought of him is her trigger and that’s a main reason she cannot stop using and is relying on these substances because her trigger is always

The options would be happily taken, taken, single, and recently single. I would then have those answers returned to me and those who are happily taken, single, and recently single would be called into the lab for further questions. Those taken would be asked to rate their drug use level from zero to ten with zero being not at all using and ten being using every day for a week basis. If rating five on the one to ten scale that would mean you used it for half of the week, ten would mean every day and we would go from there. The married group and recently separated group would be looked at the most while the single group would be my control group. Once the answers have been given, Participants will be asked to come back every 2 weeks for 2 months to see if their level of substance use has or hasn’t changed. From my predictions, those in happy relationships and those who have been single for a while will have similar results from the beginning to the end of the questionnaire, while those recently single will shift each few weeks with the amounts they are using and experimenting with due to finding their own ways to cope with being newly …show more content…
In this article there was a longitudinal study that was conducted and studied participants from youth to early adulthood. This study was used to examine romantic relationships and their impact on substance use; researchers in this study looked at “marriage, cohabitation, no cohabitating dating relationships” (Fleming, White, Catalano; p.152) and compared those aspects to individuals that were labeled as single. They hypothesized that we would “see reductions in substance use associated with marriage” (p.155), meaning that those who are married; were believed to use less substances than those who are not married and/or single. Participants were asked in a thirty day length if they used marijuana and their options were “none, 1-9 times and 10 or more times” (p.157). When looking at the results, the researchers found that those who were “married had the strongest negative association with substance use” when compared to the other options (cohabitating, non-cohabitating dating, and single (p.162). These findings mean that those who were married, were less likely to use substances compared to those who were dating and/or single. The finding from this study support my initial claim that I believed those who were married would be less likely to use substances verses those who are single and I found it very interesting seeing the way their study and experimental design was set up
