The views of minors and adults concerning breaking confidentiality about illicit drug consumption were examined and compared. Ninety-seven adolescents aged 15–16 (minors), 76 adolescents aged 17–18 (quasi-adults), and 88 adults aged 19–75 were presented with a series of 64 vignettes of a psychologist told by her young male client that he is using illicit drugs. They were composed according to a six within-subject factor design: the client’s age, the dangerousness of the drug, the time since initiation of drug consumption, whether he agreed to be treated for addiction, the stability of his family, and whether the psychologist consulted an expert before informing the family. Four qualitatively different personal positions were found, called Never acceptable (15% of the participants), Always acceptable (22%), Mainly depends on client’s age (26%), and Mainly depends on family problems (37%). Few differences were found between groups of participants, except that adults endorsed the Always acceptable view more frequently than did minors or quasi-adults. |
