This study aimed to determine the relations between cognitive variables (self efficacy, locus of
control, and dysfunctional attitudes) and psychological morbidities with using doping agents in adolescent
athletes.
Methods: We conducted a case-control study in Kermanshah among adolescent athletes using 50 athletic
drug users with reported use as a case group and 50 athletic nonusers and 50 nonathletic nonusers as controls that
were matched on salient demographics. Controls selected by a simple random sampling. They were then studied
by self-efficacy questionnaire, locus of control scale, dysfunctional attitude scale, and general health
questionnaire. Hypotheses tested by variance analysis and Tukey’s test.
Results: Our findings showed that athletic drug users had a lower self-efficacy, more dysfunctional attitudes,
and exhibited external locus of control rather than control groups. They were also more sensitive to
psychological morbidity. Most of relations were statistically significant.
Conclusion: Our findings were in accordance with the theoretical basis of cognitive psychology and they are
comparable to most of the similar studies.
