Addiction to mobile text messaging applications is nothing to “lol” about

The recent use of mobile text messaging applications, such as Blackberry Messenger (BBM) and WhatsApp, has increased greatly throughout the world. Unfortunately, this advanced technology is not without problems. In this study, the researcher argues that BBM and WhatsApp may generate noticeable improvements in consumer's lives but may simultaneously cause serious social and personal problems, including addiction to these applications. Amazingly, this topic has received little if any attention from consumer behaviorists, who need to understand the psychological factors that affect BBM and WhatsApp consumers. Hence, the current research examines two personality traits—extraversion and social anxiety—that influence consumer attitudes toward these applications. The results of a survey from 552 BBM and WhatsApp consumers in Kuwait indicate that the interaction effect of extraversion and social anxiety is significantly related to consumer attitudes toward BBM and WhatsApp. Furthermore, addiction to these applications plays a mediating role in the examined effect.

和谐社会建设中的戒瘾康复研究

成瘾问题是国际社会共同关注的焦点,也是亟待解决的世界性难题。戒瘾者的康复过程分为生理康复、心理康复、社会康复等三个阶段,对成瘾者进行治疗而非强制性戒除是和谐社会介入成瘾行为的主要趋势。戒瘾社会工作对于戒瘾者的心理康复和社会康复发挥了巨大的作用。     

青年数字游戏消费的后亚文化批判

后亚文化背景下青年的数字游戏消费出现了娱乐要求与游戏成瘾间的矛盾。新媒介的传播和文化产业的繁荣为当代青年对数字游戏的消费提供了载体和空间。国内数字游戏被"标签"为"毒害",消费数字游戏的青年被归为"反叛"的亚文化群体。多数研究者漠视数字游戏在满足青年娱乐要求方面的正价值,把各种负面效应特别是成瘾性看成是青年消费数字游戏的主要结果。其实,娱乐作为青年文化的时代标志才是青年对数字游戏消费的主流指向。     

Fourth Step: Discourse with an Addict

This article is an authentic, unrehearsed, verbatim dialogue between an adult sister and a drug"-addicted brother. It deeply reflects the compulsive nature of addiction despite the full comprehension of the consequences of continuing it. It sensitively touches upon the pain and sorrow within the family, although hardly any manifestations of the agony come clearly to the suiface. It concludes without any real hope for change. That inevitability brings to the surface the true nature of an addiction.     

War and Peace: Social Work and the State of Chemical Dependency Treatment in the United States

SUMMARY

In recent decades, treatment for alcohol and drug problems in the United States has been influenced by a number of factors. This article discusses several of these factors, including the “War on Drugs,” with its emphasis on law enforcement and interdiction, and managed health care, which has compromised access to treatment. In spite of these factors, the U.S. invests a goodly amount in alcohol and drug prevention and treatment services and research. Efforts are being made to ensure that research findings are being translated into improved clinical practice. Among the controversial issues in the treatment arena are recent efforts by the Bush administration to promote public funding of faith- or religious-based groups in delivering chemical dependency services. Social workers commonly see people with alcohol and drug problems in their practices, but only a small number of social workers are well prepared to treat this group of clients.     

Posttreatment 12-Step Program Affiliation and Dropout: Theoretical Model and Qualitative Exploration

ABSTRACT

Treatment outcome research has repeatedly demonstrated that involvement in twelve-step (TS) programs (e.g., Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous) following treatment is associated with improved substance use outcomes. Treatment providers widely encourage TS program attendance during treatment and for aftercare; yet, evidence suggests that minimal and sporadic attendance or complete dropout is the more common occurrence. Providers would benefit from knowledge that would contribute to a greater understanding of factors that influence posttreatment TS program affiliation or dropout to guide treatment strategies. This article reviews the literature on TS affiliation, advances theory and a model to explain affiliation, and reports findings from a qualitative research study focused on understanding what people in TS facilitative treatment report as good (the pros) and not so good (the cons) about TS program involvement. Results suggest that unresolved ambivalence as well as socio-cultural barriers to support contribute to poor TS program utilization.
