The drug problem is a serious social problem facing the world today,especially the growing number of young drug users.The deviant peer interaction is an important reason for the youth group to take drugs.The acquisition of young people’s deviant behavior mainly occurs in close groups.The higher the interaction and emotional identity between young people and deviant partners,the closer the relationship with deviant partners will be established.With the in-depth exchanges between young people and deviant companions,young people have gradually embarked on the road of drug abuse and become addicted to drugs.From the perspective of the composition of drug users,the majority of drug users are men,and most of the ways for women to become infected with drugs are caused by men’s "leading the way".Compared with female drug users,male drug users have more serious social harm.Therefore,this paper discusses the influence of deviant peer interaction and addictive behavior on male drug users.Specifically,the question discussed in this paper is: in male drug users,will their deviant partners promote their drug use behavior? Is there any difference in the communication between male drug users and their deviant partners in the network and reality,which will affect their addiction degree? After taking drugs,how does the interaction between individuals and deviant partners change?This paper takes the deviant peer interaction of young men as the starting point,selects 685 young men from three compulsory detoxification centers in Sichuan Province as the research object,uses the theory of differential communication and social learning,and studies the drug addiction behavior of young men through the data obtained from the questionnaire survey.First of all,the author makes a descriptive analysis of male youth’s deviant peer interaction,drug abuse and addictive behavior from multiple aspects.After that,the Ordered Logistic model was used to test the influence of the deviant peer interaction of young men on their drug addiction behavior,and the influence of the deviant peer interaction of real communication and network communication on the addiction behavior of young men was compared according to the way of acquaintance.The results show that,first,the number of deviant partners has a certain impact on the drug addiction behavior of young men.The more deviant partners who have had "fight","drug abuse" and "robbery and extortion" behaviors in young men’s interactions,the higher their drug addiction level.Secondly,the different social styles of young men and deviant partners have different effects on young people’s addictive behaviors.From the perspective of communication content,male drug users who participate more in the network and have parties for eating,drinking,bathing and massage are more likely to have deeper addictive behaviors.The higher the degree of intimacy of network deviant partners,the higher the degree of addiction of male youth.The frequency of communication between young men and deviant partners has no significant impact on the degree of addiction,whether in real life or online communication.Thirdly,after drug use,the number of deviant partners still has a significant positive impact on the degree of drug addiction of young men.After taking drugs,the more deviant partners of male drug users’ "drug use" and "addicted to the Internet" behaviors,the higher their drug addiction.Finally,the communication status of deviant partners proposed by the theory of differential communication will have different effects on their drug addiction behavior,which is partially verified in this paper.Among them,the influence of the type,quantity and specific content of male youth’s deviant partners on their drug addiction behavior has been verified.However,the relationship between the frequency of communication between young men and deviant partners and the degree of drug addiction has not been verified.Whether in real life or online communication,frequent communication between male drug users and their deviant peers does not necessarily deepen their addiction,but rather the intimate relationship between peers,the more likely they are to deepen their addiction.Therefore,according to the analysis results,the author puts forward relevant suggestions from the aspects of family education,anti-drug education and social management,hoping to provide some reference for preventing young people from getting involved in drugs.
