Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of protective factors in psychology: these are conditions or attributes that help individuals resist or avoid negative outcomes, such as drug use.
Identify the options given and analyze whether each represents a protective factor or a risk factor. For example, frequent exposure to stress without coping strategies is a risk factor, not protective.
Recognize that strong family support provides emotional stability, guidance, and resources, which are known protective factors against drug use.
Note that high levels of peer pressure and low self-esteem typically increase vulnerability to drug use, making them risk factors rather than protective factors.
Conclude that among the options, 'Strong family support' is the protective factor that helps students avoid drug use.
