They are also more psychologically impaired in their adjustment than non-abusers. Significantly, though still unexplained, paternal rejection seems to cause substance abuse for both male and female subjects than maternal rejection. Significant differences are also found between substance abusers and non-abusers in terms of social class and educational level.
