The purpose of this research was to provide an integrated model of drug causation based on social control theory and social learning theory. Social control theory postulates that strong bonds to conventional agents of social control will restrain drug involvement. Social learning theory suggests that drug behavior is learned through the principles of operant conditioning, meaning that the behaviors and reactions of primary groups influence the behavior of individuals. The theoretical orientations of social control and social learning theories were integrated in a causal model which depicted the social context and process out of which drug use evolves.

520 $a The purpose of this research was to provide an integrated model of drug causation based on social control theory and social learning theory. Social control theory postulates that strong bonds to conventional agents of social control will restrain drug involvement. Social learning theory suggests that drug behavior is learned through the principles of operant conditioning, meaning that the behaviors and reactions of primary groups influence the behavior of individuals. The theoretical orientations of social control and social learning theories were integrated in a causal model which depicted the social context and process out of which drug use evolves.
520 $a The empirical indices for social control theory, maternal bond, religiosity and educational goals, were hypothesized to restrain drug use. For social learning theory, parental and peer drug usage, attitudes and reactions toward drug usage, were hypothesized to influence the respondent's own disposition toward drug involvement. Path analysis was used to examine the impact of social control and social learning theories on four types of drug usage: marijuana, stimulants-depressants, psychedelics-narcotics and multiple drug use.
520 $a The findings indicated overall support for both social control and social learning theories. However, the degree of support was contingent on both the sex of the respondent and the type of drug under investigation. The social control variables were more predictive of female than male drug use, but this held true only for less serious drug involvement. Regarding social learning theory, the saliency of parental influence was limited to female drug use. Peer influence exerted the strongest influence, regardless of the sex of the respondent or the type of drug consumed.
520 $a The causal model strongly suggests that drug involvement is a peer group phenomenon. It appears that once progression is made into more serious drug usage, conventional bonds are largely irrelevant. Future research should concentrate on the formation and maintenance of peer networks.
