Abstract :
This research aimed to identify the best fit
model for personal drug use. Specifically, the
relationship among state self-esteem, emotional
intelligence, and aggression of the drug users in Region
XII. This study used the quantitative method of analysis
and the structural equation model. The data were
obtained from the 400 drug users in area of region XII
under community based rehabilitation program. Four
sets of sample questionnaires were used during data
collection. The results showed that the level of drug users
in region XII in terms of state self-esteem was described
very high and emotional intelligence was also described
high. It was also revealed that aggression among drug
users was moderate and same for personal drug use.
There were significant relationships between state selfesteem and personal drug use and also showed that the
correlation among emotional intelligence and personal
drug use had been important. Conclusively, there was a
significant relationship between state self-esteem,
emotional intelligence, aggression, and personal drug
use. Moreover, state self-esteem, emotional intelligence
and aggression are predictor of personal drug use.
Furthermore, generated model 4 fits on personal drug
use. This means that the causes of personal drug use lean
on the emotional intelligence and aggression which
stimulated by young and adult users. In addition,
personal drug use is best anchored of state self-esteem
and emotional intelligence which signify that the extent
of state self-esteem and emotional intelligence could
