Drug-Use History and Experience Seeking among Adult Male Correctional Inmates.
Kohn, Paul M.; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v47 n4 p708-15 Aug 1979
Determined what kinds of experience seeking are related to drug use using Pearson's Novelty-Experiencing Scale, Pearson's Desire-for-Novelty Scale, and Vando's Reducer-Augmenter Scale. Drug use was most frequent among men attracted to unusual states of consciousness and physically thrilling activities. They were stimulus-intensity reducers, and somewhat dissatisfied with their lives. (Author/BEF)
