These participants responded to Attitude to Drugs and Stimulants Scale, Scale of Secure-Insecure Levels of Family, Parenting Styles Scale, and Index of Brother and Sister Relations. This study was a correlational one wherein the obtained were analyzed using multivariate linear regression and multiple linear regression. Results: The results show that age, family relationships, and parenting styles can predict the triple dimensional attitudes to drugs. In return, students' general attitude to drugs will be predictable from age, father’s education, family relationships, emotional atmosphere of families.
