ResumoStudent drug abuse and its relationship to attitudes held by the abuser, sex differences, and the abuser's relationship to his parents were studied. The Parent-Child Relations Questionnaire and four Semantic Differentials regarding the “real” me, the perceived me, the immediate world, and the drug addict were employed. Subjects were divided into present, past, and never users. Results indicated striking sex differences as well as differences between female present and never users with respect to all the attitudes investigated and the perceived relationship with the mother. It was hypothesized that the etiological factors surrounding female drug use may be psychodynamic in nature while the etiological factors for male drug use may be environmental.
