Description Discussion #4: Chapter 8 Choose two of the following questions to answer in your post. I will be looking at the level of analytical thinking you present and the clarity of your thoughts and arguments. Be sure to offer new insight, ideas, or information in both of your posts. You are expected to write in full sentences for this assignment, although an introduction and conclusion is not necessary. Each response must be at least 4 - 6 sentences in length. Make sure to cite any outside information you're using for support (APA format).** **ensure proper grammar and avoid any jargon words** Chapter 8 Discussion Questions 1. Discuss the oral, injection, inhalation, and absorption routes of drug administration. Rank the four administrations roughly in terms of the speed by which a drug enters the bloodstream. 2. Compare and contrast the major forms of drug interactions. 3. Define drug tolerance and describe the circumstances under which environmental and contextual cues play a role in the development of behavioral (conditioned) tolerance. 4. Contrast the concepts of physical dependence and psychological dependence. 5. Describe the major behavioral criteria in the DSM-5 that are used in the diagnosis of substance use disorder. 6. Briefly discuss some evidence in favor of viewing drug-taking behavior in terms of genetic, physiological, and neurochemical factors. 7. Compare and contrast the behavioral perspective and the cognitive perspective in terms of the inclination to engage in a pattern of drug-taking behavior. 8. Describe in a few words the main tenets of strain theory, social control/bonding theory, differential association theory, subcultural recruitment and socialization theory, and labeling theory with regard to drug-taking behavior. 9. In what way is a study of risk factors and protective factors an "theoretical" approach to examining drug-taking behavior? 10. Describe the three risk factors that pertain to all drug-taking behaviors in the Pemberton et al. (2014) study. Why do you think these risk factors would be so important for so many drug-taking behaviors? Choose a risk factor that either predicted drug-taking behavior in the opposite direction as predicted or a risk factor that pertained to only a specific drug-taking behavior. Why do you think these patterns would be observed?
