Discuss adolescent students' attitudes towards drugs.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. The University of Michigan researchers have also tracked the extent to which high school students disapproved of drug use over the past generation (Johnston et al., 2008a). Students in both groups were more likely to disapprove of regular drug use than experimental drug use. For example, one-third to one-half of students disapproved of use of marijuana on an experimental basis (33.4% in 1978 and 55.5% in 2008), but the disapproval rate for regular smoking of marijuana was 43.5% in 1978 and 79.6% in 2008. Only a minority of high school seniors (15.6% in 1978 and 29.8% in 2008) disapproved of trying a drink or two. However, most seniors in both eras disapproved of regular drinking. Overall, disapproval ratings were somewhat higher in 2008 than in 1978.
