Abstract
Two social values tests were given to young, middle-class drug abusers and to a control group of non-drug users to determine whether drug users rejected typical middle-class values significantly more often than non-drug users. The drug users rejected values that connoted the Protestant ethic more often than the non-drug users; however, they were not more rejecting of values, such as money, marriage, and job security, that would help them succeed in society.Abstract Teaser
