Abstract
This study was designed to examine the interconnection of paternal factors and adolescent personality attributes and their impact on the adolescent girls' use of marijuana. Analysis of the data suggested that fathers who are affectionate and child-centered and whose daughters identify with them are less likely to have daughters who use marijuana. Adolescent nonusers differed from users on a number of personality attributes reflecting conventionality and a cognitive style of receptivity to change. In general, the results suggest that paternal factors and adolescent personality attributes each have an independent impact on the adolescents' marijuana use.Keywords
