人类社会中精神活性物质滥用的多维探源

现代文明社会中酒精、烟草以及非法违禁物质的滥用,使人类为之付出了惨痛的代价.为什么人类在经历自然选择后仍没有摆脱物质滥用的顽疾?从成瘾物质的特性以及在生物进化,特别是人类历史中的物质滥用发展过程,来探讨其在人类社会中存在的原因是很必要的.     

工读学校学生的物质滥用行为及其关键影响因素分析

选取西南某省工读学校的193名工读学生参加问卷调查,拟考察工读生的物质滥用行为特点,并初步探索影响工读生物质滥用行为的关键因素以及各关键因素的相对影响力。结果发现:(1)工读生中存在较严重的每日吸烟(49%)、大量饮酒(41%)和毒品使用行为(41%),女生的毒品使用行为约是男生的两倍(74%vs.35%);(2)父母物质滥用行为与态度、同伴物质滥用行为与态度、同伴压力、抵制效能感是影响工读生出现物质滥用行为的关键影响因素;(3)在工读生物质滥用行为影响因素的关系模型中,父母诸因素可以显著地预测同伴诸因素,同时,父母和同伴特点又通过影响工读生的抵制效能感,间接地预测工读生的三种物质滥用行为。其中,父母诸因素对工读生的物质滥用行为和抵制效能感的预测力大于同伴的作用。     

延迟折扣及其与青少年物质滥用与成瘾、外化问题的关系

延迟折扣指由于发生时间上的延迟,未来结果的当前价值低于其实际价值或控制当前行为效力下降的心理现象。本文在介绍了延迟折扣的概念及测量方法与指标的基础上,综述了延迟折扣与青少年物质滥用与成瘾、外化问题间关系的研究,发现青少年酗酒者、烟瘾者及网络成瘾者的延迟折扣率高于非成瘾者,而延迟折扣与青少年外化问题之间的关系尚无一致性结论,最后指出了延迟折扣及其与青少年物质滥用与成瘾、外化问题间关系的未来研究方向。     

催产素与人类社会行为

催产素被喻为爱的荷尔蒙和亲密荷尔蒙。研究者对它的兴趣由其对分娩和哺乳的促进作用转向它对人类社会行为的影响。催产素的常用研究方法包括尿液、血液、脑脊液测量法, 鼻腔喷入法和基因型分析法。催产素对人类社会行为的影响包括社会关系、社会性决策、社会性信息加工、社会性记忆、焦虑等方面。研究者正尝试将催产素应用于孤独症、社交焦虑症、抑郁症、强迫症和精神分裂症等精神疾病的临床治疗上。未来的研究应关注催产素的临床应用、负面作用和神经机制。     

创伤暴露程度对青少年物质滥用的影响：创伤后应激障碍与依恋的中介作用

为了考察汶川地震后青少年的创伤暴露程度、创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）、父母依恋和同伴依恋与物质滥用之间的关系,采用创伤暴露程度问卷、儿童创伤后应激障碍症状量表、父母与同伴依恋问卷和物质滥用问卷对汶川县和茂县的1435名中学生进行调查,选取有物质滥用的青少年354名作为本研究的对象。结果发现：创伤暴露程度可以直接正向预测作用物质滥用。不过,在创伤暴露与物质滥用直接关系之间加入PTSD、父母和同伴依恋之后,创伤暴露程度对物质滥用的直接预测作用不再显著,并且创伤暴露程度不能通过同伴依恋预测物质滥用,也不能通过PTSD经同伴依恋对物质滥用发挥多重中介作用;但创伤暴露程度能通过PTSD正向预测物质滥用,可以通过父母依恋负向预测物质滥用,并且创伤暴露程度还可以通过PTSD经过父母依恋对物质滥用发挥正向的多重中介作用。     

医患关系现状的多维视角思考的研究

依据社会学和心理学理论,从社会政治、经济、文化、心理、法律多维层面对医患关系的现状进行思考.认为其形成原因是多元的;改善途径应是全方位的;努力应是社会的;历程是漫长的;人性化的医疗服务是必要的.     

心理健康素质测评系统·中国成年人多维社会赞许性量表的编制

编制中国成年人社会赞许性量表。参考已有同类量表,通过小组讨论、专家访谈等方法编写题目,通过两次预测筛选、修改并确定量表题目,在此基础上再进行第三次测试以检验量表的心理测量学特征。结果表明,本次编制的中国成年人多维社会赞许性量表具有可接受的内部一致性、分半和重测信度以及结构效度、内容效度、同质效度和聚合效度。结论：中国成年人多维社会赞许性量表具有可接受的心理测量学特征,可被用来测量和评估现代中国成年人的社会赞许性。     

人类进化与人类的新进化评析

对于人类进化出现的新图景,不同领域的研究者提出了不同的“人类新进化”概念.在论述人类进化的基础上,对几种不同的“人类的新进化”观点加以陈述和评析,试图提出一种统一的“人类的新进化”概念.即“人类的新进化”既不是单纯的生物进化,也不是单纯的社会文化进化,而是指人类生物进化与社会文化进化的协同进化.

垂体后叶加压素对人类社会行为的影响

垂体后叶加压素(Arginine Vasopressin, AVP)是神经内分泌激素之一, 简称加压素。研究发现加压素对人类复杂的社会行为有着重要的调节作用。首先, 在家庭关系方面加压素能够促进男性的性行为和父亲行为。其次, 在社会评定方面, 加压素能诱发男性之间的敌意和女性之间的亲和行为。最后, 在社会决策方面加压素能提升男性的自利性的社会决策和促进女性调和人际关系。目前此领域研究存在的问题包括：男女被试比例失衡, 当前研究关注男性为主; 对于心理疾病的临床治疗有待进一步研究和缺乏对其他变量的控制。未来研究应继续探究加压素对人类的情绪调节、学习等各方面的调节作用。     

The Effectiveness of Substance Abuse Treatment in Reducing Violent Behavior

The use of alcohol and other drugs has long been associated with violence. Yet relatively little is known about the effect of treatment on specific violent behaviors. This study examines violent behaviors in the National TreatmentImprovement Evaluation Study (NTIES), and assesses the extent to which treatment appears to reduce violence for each measured behavior. It also examines these reductions by gender, treatment modality, and whether the client wasa victim of violence in addition to being a perpetrator. The results indicate large reductions in violence among clients actively violent during the pretreatment period, with virtually no increase in violence among clients not actively violent during that same period, irrespective of gender, modality, or victimization status. On their face, the results strongly suggest that substance abuse treatment is effective in reducing violent behavior. Alternative explanations areproposed and assessed, followed by implications for policy, practice, and future research.     

Spirituality and Substance Abuse Recovery

Researchers explored patient and staff perceptions of spiritual well-being and the spiritual needs of patients enrolled in a residential substance abuse treatment program. The Spiritual Well-Being Scale was used to gather quantitative data. Additionally, a brief questionnaire containing one qualitative and two quantitative questions was completed by both clients and staff. A statistically significant difference was found, indicating a more positive sense of spiritual well-being among patients upon discharge. Although the staff and clients of the residential program have similar perceptions regarding the concept of spiritual well-being, their definitions do not appear identical.     

Opioid Substance Abuse Among Occupational Therapy Clients

This study examined opioid substance abuse among clients of occupational therapists. A sample of 500 occupational therapists, representing five targeted clinical practice areas, was randomly selected from American Occupational Therapy Association membership. Of these, a total of 182 participants ultimately responded to postal surveys. Results found one third considered opioid substance abuse a problem at their facility, and over half reported having one or more clients known to be or suspected of abusing opioids. Moreover, one in five reported having a client exhibit symptoms of overdose. Recommendations for a concerted response by the profession of occupational therapy to this nationwide epidemic are presented.     

Grief and Recovery: The Prevalence of Grief and Loss in Substance Abuse Treatment

Grief from various losses can underlie the process of recovery from substance abuse disorders. This study identified losses that clients encountered prior to abusing substances, losses that occurred as a result of addiction, and losses that occurred upon entering treatment.     

Predicting Substance Abuse Relapse: The Role of Social Interest and Social Bonding

Substance abuse relapse has been linked to a number of internal and external vulnerability factors. The authors explored the internal construct of Adlerian social interest (Adler, 1956 ) and the external construct of Hirschi's ( 1969 ) social bonding to provide a holistic risk profile of relapse.     

Clinical Improvement in Adolescents Comorbid for Substance Abuse and Psychiatric Diagnoses Through Multiple Group Psychotherapy

In a pilot study, the authors examined the outcome of group psychotherapy for the treatment of 19 adolescents, comorbid for substance abuse and psychiatric diagnoses, in terms of symptom reduction. They compared presenting symptomatology of treatment completers with treatment noncompleters. A retrospective study of the outcome of a multiple group psychotherapy treatment program using the Drug Use Screening Inventory-Revised Version (DUSI-R) to assess change over time was conducted. Depressive disorders were the most prevalent psychiatric diagnoses (68%), and marijuana was the substance most commonly abused on a frequent basis. Treatment completers showed improvement in behavior problems, health status, and social competence. As part of an integrated treatment program, multiple group psychotherapy is a promising treatment modality for adolescent patients, comorbid for substance abuse and psychiatric diagnoses, pending further assessment of the complex issues involved in combined treatment.     

Barriers and Supports to Substance Abuse Service Use Among Homeless Adults

Although there is a great need for substance abuse services among the homeless, many homeless individuals do not use those services. This study examined barriers and supports related to service use. Participants recognized a need for treatment and significant barriers to accessing care.     

Self‐Efficacy Among Adults in Substance Abuse Treatment: The Role of Religious Coping

In substance abuse treatment, general self‐efficacy and religiousness are factors that may support positive outcomes. The authors surveyed clients receiving substance abuse treatment (N = 121) and found that religious coping predicted general self‐efficacy scores. Clinical implications are discussed.
