Goe, W.R. | Napier, T.L. | Bachtel, D.C.
Extract: Data focused on marijuana use were collected in 1981 from 4,859 high school students living in two counties in southern Georgia. The data were used to test a facilitative-constraint model developed from selected components of differential association, differential identification, and social control theories. Regression analysis was used to identify the factors that were predictive of frequency of marijuana use. Discriminant analysis was used to compare "users," "experimenters," and "nonusers" on the basis of factors chosen to represent each dimension of the theoretical perspective. The findings demonstrated that the theoretical model was useful in predicting the frequency of marijuana use and for correctly classifying students into appropriate user categories.
