  • The externalizing and internalizing pathways to marijuana use initiation

    Open AccessAlexander M Wasserman, K J Shaw-Meadow et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2021References: 3

Two developmental pathways to adolescent substance use have been proposed: an externalizing pathway that emphasizes the expression of aggressive and delinquent behavior, and an internalizing pathway that emphasizes the role of depressive symptoms and negati…
