Prediction of Drug Abuse by the Social Factors Questionnaire.

Abstract

Two measures, the lawlessness and permissiveness scores, yielded by a locally developed experimental psychological test were investigated to determine if they added significantly to the prediction of seven drug abuse criteria when combined with available demographic and aptitude variables. The results indicate that both scores add significant predictive variance to the background variables and appear to have considerable success in discriminating between drug abusers and nonabusers.
