Statistical Risk Versus Psychological Vulnerability: Why are Men at Greater Risk for Substance Abuse than Women?
Doherty, Kathleen T.; Szalay, Lorand B.
Journal of Alcohol and Drug Education, v42 n1 p57-77 Fall 1996
Developed a cognitive mapping technique to investigate psychological propensities that increase one's risk for substance abuse. Male and female frequent users (N=400) and nonusers (N=400) were sampled and gender differences in substance abuse were examined. Results indicate that men show greater vulnerability, overall, to substance abuse than do women. (RJM)
