“…Brill, Compton, and Grayson (1971) also found that college undergraduate marijuana users (some of whom used other drugs) scored significantly higher than nonusers on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory Psychopathic Deviant scale. On the other hand, Davis and Brehm (1971) in a study of young drug users in the North Carolina State Prison system, found no significant difference between users and nonusers. Users in this study consisted of users of both psychedelics and hard drugs.…”

Research concerning the sociocultural and personality correlates of deviant adolescent use of alcohol, psychedelic drugs, and narcotics was reviewed. A number of consistently replicated findings regarding both personality and sociocultural correlates of adolescent use were found. At the same time, lack of comprehensive, systematic and theory-bound research, gross lack of methodological rigor, and a lack of coordination of effort and integration of findings among the various areas of drug use research were noted. General requirements for the design of future research were also discussed.

e examined circumstances sirnounding initial illicit drug use for their effects on W escalation of use. We conducted separate multivariate analyses for men and women and, within each of these groupings, for subgroups differentiated by experiences in early adolescence. The analyses reflect changes in substantive concerns and methods that characterize the recent history of research on psychosocial influences on drug use. lbh work was supported by research grants RO1 DA 04310 and ROI DA 02497 and a Resemh Scientist Award (KO5 DA !W136] to Howard B.
