Warranted Uncertainty and Students' Knowledge and Use of Drugs
Sieber, Joan E.; And Others
Contemporary Educational Psychology, 3, 3, 246-64, Jul 78

A three-year followup evaluation measuring transfer of these skills on hard and soft drug use confirmed that students had developed a skeptical analytic attitude, allowing them to ignore peer and parental dogma about drugs.
