Abstract
A negative relationship was found between internal control and drug use quantity-frequency. Correlations involving I-E [internal-external] control and drug use outcomes were not significant. Data from the junior high sample were compared with previously collected high school data; while overall patterns of use were similar for the 2 groups, the junior high students reported lower quantity-frequency and more social complications.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
