- 요약Ayahuasca, a psychoactive drug from the Amazon basin, may occasion a dynamic set of both positive and negative acute effects. Some of the most common acute effects involve difficult and challenging physical (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) and emotional (e.g., frightening hallucinations, paranoia) experiences, and yet many people also report that these difficult and challenging effects contribute to healing and beneficial outcomes (e.g., improved spiritual well-being, life satisfaction, and meaning in life). To understand how people experience different acute effects of ayahuasca, especially the acute challenging effects, and achieve positive psychospiritual outcomes, a Resilience Framework was applied in this study to explore whether levels of resilience could explain this phenomenon. To date, no research study has assessed whether resilience influences acute ayahuasca effects and if resilience is a potential moderator of the relationship between acute ayahuasca effects and psychospiritual outcomes.This dissertation adopted a longitudinal study design with three timepoints (baseline before retreats: T1; right after retreats: T2; One-month follow-up: T3). In total, 267 participants completed the baseline (T1) survey and enrolled in this study, 247 completed the post-retreat (T2) survey, and 233 completed the one-month (T3) survey. There are 233 participants who completed all three timepoints (Mage=41.20, SD=11.41). The majority of participants were from the North America, reported their biological sex was female, identified as White/Caucasian, reported have at least attended/completed college degree, reported past psychedelic use experience before the retreats, and reported intention for treatment and spiritual improvement by attending ayahuasca retreats.Findings from hierarchical regression analyses revealed that baseline resilience was a significant predictor of the acute challenging experiences of ayahuasca after controlling for neuroticism (△F(1,230)=5.797, p=0.017, Adjusted R2=.053). There was a positive association between resilience and acute challenging experience (β=0.183, t=2.408, p=0.017) indicating higher levels of baseline resilience predicted more intense acute challenging experience of ayahuasca. Additionally, results from multiple regression analyses with interaction terms demonstrated significant moderation effects of baseline resilience on the relationship between acute challenging experiences and the search for meaning in life (β=0.154, t=2.444, p=.015) as well as on the relationship between uncomfortable ayahuasca experiences and the search for meaning in life (β=0.134, t=2.134, p=0.034) while controlling for neuroticism. Lastly, findings revealed a significant positive canonical correlation (F144,1659.596=2.978, Rc=0.761, p.001) between the independent set of acute effects of ayahuasca (emotional breakthrough, mystical experience, psychological insight experience) and the dependent set of psychospiritual outcomes (satisfaction with life, presence of meaning in life, spirituality index well-being life-scheme, and persisting effects on sense of personal well-being, sense of life's purpose, sense of life's meaning, social relationships, attitudes about life, attitudes about self, mood, behaviors, how spiritual you are, and attitudes about death), while controlling for acute challenging effects, setting, neuroticism, spiritual intention, search for meaning in life, spiritual index well-being self-efficacy, and human flourishing. The canonical correlation explained 55.94% of the variance in the model.
