Tying drug use to factors such as racial prejudice, low self-esteem, poor socioeconomic status and the high levels of mistrust, negativism and defiance found in impoverished areas, describes which causal explanation of drug use?
a) Social learning.
b) Psychological view.
c) Subcultural view.
d) Problem behavior syndrome.

In sociology and psychology, the subcultural theorists say that deviance from the norm is the result of subgroups who set apart from the norm and who have deviant values, thus, drug use can emerge from the relation between these subcultures (based on race, status, negativism from impoverished areas) and the identity the person develops ("I belong to this culture, and people from this culture uses drugs").

Thus, tying drug use to factors such as racial prejudice, low self-esteem, poor socioeconomic status and the high levels of mistrust, negativism and defiance found in impoverished areas (subcultures) describes the subcultural view of drug use.

Thus, the countercultural viewpoint of substance use is defined by associating drugs that are used to characteristics such as racist attitudes, low self-esteem, poor socioeconomic standing, and the high levels of suspicion, discouragement, and noncompliance prevalent in disadvantaged neighborhoods (cultural movements).

The correct option is c) the Subcultural view.

Subcultural sociologists in neuroscience and anthropology make an argument that discrepancy from the norm is the result of subgroups that set oneself apart from the norm and hold deviant values.

Thus, drug use can arise from the interaction between these subcultures (based on race, status, and discouragement from deprived neighborhoods) and the identification that an individual develops ("I belong to this culture, and people from this culture uses drugs").
