This study explores the drug use of a sample of inner-city junior high school youths by examining a hypothesized, interactive relationship between perceived toughness/drug use in their neighborhood and the youths' demographic, neighborhood orientation/involvement, and drug use context factors in regard to their involvement with drugs. The results dramatically showed that the youths' views of their environmental setting operate as a conditioning factor in understanding the correlates of their drug involvement. In supporting the hypothesis, prosocial correlates of drug use are stressed in settings characterized by high toughness/drug use settings. Our findings urge that serious consideration be given to examining social contextual effects on drug taking as a means to understanding this behavior among different sociocultural groups.
本研究通过考察城市内初中青少年样本中，他们对邻里 toughness/吸毒情况的感知与青少年人口统计学特征、邻里取向/参与度以及吸毒相关背景因素之间假设的交互关系，来探究吸毒情况。结果显著表明，青少年对其环境背景的看法在理解其吸毒相关因素时起到了调节作用。为支持该假设，在以高 toughness/吸毒情况为特征的环境中，强调了吸毒的亲社会相关因素。我们的研究结果敦促，应认真考虑研究社会背景对吸毒的影响，以此作为理解不同社会文化群体中这种行为的一种手段。
