The Values of Middle Class Drug Users and Their Perceptions of the Values of Society.
Beech, Robert; Katz, Bernard
Journal of Drug Education, v10 n1 p39-48 1980
Values of drug users were measured using the Rokeach Value Survey. The values the drug users espoused and perceived to be in opposition to society's values formed three themes: tranquility, aesthetics, and humanism. Although this group was perceived as deviant, they adhered to the literal meaning of these cultural ideals. (Author/BEF)
