التدين والأفكار اللاعقلانية وعلاقتهما بالاتجاهات النفسية نحو تعاطي المخدرات لدى عينة من طلاب جامعة تبوك

This study aimed to identify the relationship between religiosity and irrational beliefs with psychological attitudes toward drug abuse among a sample of students at Tabuk University. The sample consisted of 370 male and female students selected using stratified random sampling. The researcher used a religiosity scale (Al-Sheibani, 1988), an irrational beliefs scale (Zahran, 1987), and a psychological attitudes toward drug abuse scale prepared by the researcher. The results revealed a statistically significant negative correlation between religiosity (both intrinsic and extrinsic) and psychological attitudes toward drug abuse. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between irrational beliefs and psychological attitudes toward drug abuse. No significant differences were found in psychological attitudes toward drug abuse due to specialization, while significant differences were found due to gender in favor of males.
