• W1559122351 abstract "Martin H. Levinson (*) THE DECADE OF THE 1970s is perhaps best remembered for the resignation of an American president and the ending of an unpopular war. But it was also a period of historically high levels of youthful drug abuse. explanation offered for such massive drug taking by the young was that they were alienated from the society around them. An article in the September 1972 issue of the Journal of Drug Education stated, One frame of reference is to view adolescent drug abuse in the broader context of 'casualties' of our educational system find little relevance in the values and institutions of society. (1) To address the of student alienation, in 1979, as part of a doctoral dissertation in the School of Education at New York University, I devised and administered a research study that hypothesized instruction in general semantics would significantly reduce among junior high school problem students. results of that study, which were published in ETC in 1980, showed general semantics could significantly reduce student (2) But news of those findings did not make their way to a large public or to professionals in the drug prevention field. In 1992, an important article appeared that did receive a great deal of attention in the drug prevention field. Titled Risk and Protective Factors for Alcohol and Other Drug Problems in Adolescence and Early Adulthood: Implications for Substance Abuse Prevention, it identified and listed seventeen risk factors for adolescent drug abuse. (3) and was among the risk factors listed in the article and next to it two studies were cited that had attempted to reduce it. Of the two studies, only one had even partial success in decreasing There was no mention of the study that I had conducted on reduction. That study, The Effect of General Semantics Instruction on Three Dimensions of Alienation Among Eighth and Ninth Grade Problem Students, will be examined here. A General Semantics Approach to Reducing Student Alienation reduction study that I carried Out took place in a New York City junior high school over a 19 week period, from December 1978 to April 1979. Eighth and ninth grade students were chosen to be the subjects for the study because the literature indicated that middle school is a time of transition when children face greater challenges and pressures in learning to get along with others, and it is a time when drug use begins to escalate. students selected for the study had all been referred to school-based drug prevention counseling for exhibiting maladaptive attitudes and behaviors such as verbally abusing others, frequently disrupting the class, involvement in dysfunctional relationships, poor academic achievement, being withdrawn and shy, regularly attending late or not attending class, physically abusing teachers or peers, and experimenting with drugs. It seemed to me these maladaptive attitudes and behaviors were indicators of student alienation. Alienation -- Research Definitions and Reduction Rationale In common parlance the term alienation is used to describe the condition of being estranged or detached from one's self, others, or society in general. But as a research concept is more complex since it can be approached from a variety of different disciplines (e.g., psychology, sociology, and social psychology) and can take on a variety of different meanings -- anomie, loss of self, despair, apathy, loneliness, rootlessness, powerlessness, isolation, pessimism, etc. general semantics study I undertook considered from a socio-psychological perspective using a research model developed by Seeman that contains six researchable dimensions of (4) Three of those dimensions, powerlessness (a state characterized by feelings of helplessness about not being able to influence situations); self-estrangement (a state characterized by feelings of detachment toward situations); and cultural estrangement (a state characterized by rebelliousness toward the goals and priorities of the institutions in which one must live, work, or study) were picked as variables for analysis. …" @default.
