Question

Tying drug use to factors such as racial prejudice low self-esteem poor socioeconomic status and the high levels of mistrust negativism and defiance found in impoverished areas describes which causal explanation of drug use?

Answer 1

Tying drug use to these factors describes the subcultural view of drug use. This view originates from psychology, and presents a theory that certain groups or subcultures in society are more prone to the life of violence and crime. They connect drug abuse with the subculture itself, saying that people living in these conditions have a tendency to use drugs more often than people with better opportunities.
