Scenаriо: Jоrdаn Jоrdаn is a 20-year-old community college student who works part-time but struggles financially. During his first year of college, he begins spending more time with a group of friends who regularly use drugs. At first, Jordan does not use drugs. His friends frequently talk about how drugs help them relax, deal with stress, and have more fun. When Jordan begins using with them, he feels more accepted by the group. Over time, drug use becomes a regular part of his social life. Jordan also begins using drugs when he is stressed about school, work, money, or relationships. He comes to believe that using drugs helps him cope with his problems. His friends reinforce this belief by encouraging him to use whenever he is stressed. Several members of Jordan's group also sell drugs. Jordan sees that they make money, gain status within the group, and rarely seem to experience immediate consequences. When Jordan begins having financial problems, a friend suggests that he could make extra money by selling drugs. Jordan initially hesitates but eventually begins selling small amounts to people he knows. His friends praise him for making money and introduce him to more customers. As Jordan becomes more comfortable selling, both his drug use and drug selling increase. Eventually, Jordan is arrested for possession of drugs with evidence indicating that he was also selling them. Midterm Question Using Social Learning Theory from Fields' Drugs in Perspective, analyze how Jordan learned and continued both drug use and drug-selling behavior. In your analysis, consider: How did Jordan's friends and social environment influence his drug use? What did Jordan observe and learn from others? What rewards or consequences reinforced his drug use? How did stress and his expectations about drugs contribute to continued use? How did Jordan's social environment influence his decision to begin selling drugs? What rewards reinforced his drug-selling behavior? How could Jordan learn new behaviors that might reduce his future substance use and criminal justice involvement? Remember: EVIDENCE + EXPLAIN WHY/HOW + CONNECT = ANALYSIS Don't stop with: “Jordan sold drugs because his friends sold drugs.” Ask yourself: What did Jordan observe? → What did he learn? → What reinforced the behavior? → WHY did it continue? → HOW did that learning contribute to both substance use and crime?
