This purpose of this study is to test Akers's general Social Structure and Social Learning model (SSSL) model of crime and deviance on substance use behaviors among adolescents. This study attempts to gauge the validity and cross-cultural generalizability of the SSSL model by utilizing a sample of 1,021 high school students drawn from a non-American cultural setting, South Korea. The data for this dissertation consist of self-reported individual-level survey data including measures of all of the main explanatory variables found in social learning, social bonding and self-control theories. The analysis therefore includes a comparison of the effects of the social learning variables in the SSSL with the effects of social bonding and self-control variables in expanded models. Also this study measures all four social structural components of the SSSL model with measures drawn from census data in Busan (formerly Pusan) in South Korea. To examine this multi-level data, several Hierarchal Linear Models (HLM) and Hierarchical Generalized Models (HGLM) are used. The chief hypothesis to be tested is that the effects of the structural variables on adolescent substance use are mediated by social learning variables and more so than they will be mediated by bonding/self-control variables. The findings from the analyses provide supportive evidence for the SSSL model. Social learning variables substantially mediate the impact of social structural components on adolescents' substance use (alcohol, depressants, and tobacco). On the other hand, social bonding and self-control variables do not mediate the relationship between social structural influence and individual substance use behaviors as much as social learning variables do. Rather, social bonding and self-control variables appear to be moderated by the social structural variables. The social learning variables have significant and greater mediation effects compared with the effects of social bonding and self- control variables. Overall, this study found support for the validity and generalizability of the SSSL model to a non-Western society. The contributions, limitations, and implications of the study for future research are presented.
