Data analysis was performed using regression analyses. Since the Cronbach's alpha for the scale measuring attitudes towards drug abusers was not satisfactory, only one item from the scale was used. The results of the study showed only one significant finding, which was a significant positive relationship between Belief in a Just World and whether one believes that addicts... (More)

Denna studie syftade till att undersöka relationen mellan attityder gentemot drogmissbrukare och två potentiella prediktorer; belief in a just world och ålder (n =116). För att genomföra studien användes en digital enkät som inkluderade demografiska frågor samt två befintliga skalor avsedda att mäta respondenternas attityder gentemot drogmissbrukare och värdering av belief in a just world. Dataanalysen utfördes genom regressionsanalyser. Då Cronbachs alfa för skalan som mätte attityder gentemot drogmissbruk inte blev tillfredsställande, användes endast ett item ur mätskalan. Resultatet av studien visade enbart ett signifikant resultat, vilket var en signifikant positiv relation mellan belief in a just world och huruvida en anser att... (More)
