One study found a strong correlation between parental bonding and adolescent drug use. children with stronger bonds to their parents were far less likely to try drugs or alcohol. however, when the researchers examined their data more closely, they discovered that parental bonding was really a predictor for teen religiosity and that high levels of religiosity prevent drug use rather than parental bonding. this means that religiosity was: a. a paradigm shift. b. a spurious variable. c. an issue of reflexivity. d. the intervening variable.
