Adjustment Mechanisms

Patterns of drug use among students in higher education change and reach stabilization as a result of societal reactions, institutional adjustment mechanisms, and the students' own experiences and experimentation in drug use. The thesis of this article is that patterns of drug use on large U.S. campuses have been institutionalized to such an extent that they are no longer a disruptive element in education and adjustment. Looking at the stages of the institutionalization process may help us in understanding the correct scope of drug abuse, as opposed to drug use, and in recognizing parallel processes in other populations.

Higher Education Change

The purpose of this study is to look at whether higher education has an effect on value perceptions of students. In particular, the researcher will examine the role of 'foundation' or 'private' universities on the priorities of value perceptions. The results are limited to the 115 students participated in the study. In order to have a more generalizable and comprehensive analysis, large number of students from other universities should  also be studied. That way we could have a more convincing claiming about whether university education have negative or positive effects on the change of certain values. However, for the current study we can claim that university education is changing the level of value perceptions of students mostly in negative ways.
