Abstract
A sample of 20,968 13-15-year-old secondary school pupils completed a scale of attitude towards substance use, alongside the short form of t he Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. The data demonstrate that rejection of substance use among this age group is associated with te ndermindedness, introversion, stability and social conformity. Copyrig ht (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
