Abstract

This study examined the relationship between the assertiveness, conformity, and drug use of sixteen (n = 16) university students. Subjects were exposed to a series of ten conformity tasks based on Asch's classic paradigm. The College Self-Expression Scale and the Tentative Drug Use Scale were administered. Assertiveness and conformity scores were blocked on alcohol-marijuana and “hard” drug-use. One-way analyses of variance revealed that alcohol-marijuana users were less assertive and more compliant than “hard” drug users.
