Modeling of the Causes of Student's Tendency to Drug Use via LISREL Software

This study was conducted with the aim of modeling the causes of student's tendency to drugs use by means of LLISREL software.
This study was carried out as a survey research wherein the number of 220 female students was selected as the participants through stratified random sampling method. The required data were collected through questionnaire.
The hypothesis testing results show that the female student's desire for drug use was the same based on education level, parental employment status, and academic discipline; and the observed difference was not significant. In addition, the results of the structural model indicate that religiosity, social capital, family disputes, and social alienation can explain nearly 31% of the variations of female student's desire for drug use. Religiosity and social capital had a negative impact but social alienation and family disputes had a positive effect on female student's desire for drug use.
Family disputes and social alienation provide the grounds for the increased desire female students for drug use while social capital and religiosity prevent the increased desire of female students for drug use.
