The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between political alienation and drug behavior using nonmetric techniques. A survey of undergraduate students was used to explore the dimensionality of drug attitudes and behavior. Through the use of smallest space analysis a dimensional structure of two dimension was derived from the data. Two space diagrams were constructed and examined as to the rank order of distances between alienation and drug behavior. The finding of the analysis indicates the validity of a nonmetric approach which focuses upon the rank order of alienation and drug usage.
本研究的目的是使用非度量技术探索政治疏离与吸毒行为之间的关系。通过对本科生进行调查来探究吸毒态度和行为的维度。利用最小空间分析从数据中得出了一个二维的维度结构。构建了两个空间图，并检查了疏离与吸毒行为之间距离的等级顺序。分析结果表明了一种关注疏离与吸毒行为等级顺序的非度量方法的有效性。
