Problemy i zagrożenia współczesnej rodziny na Ukrainie

Author(s): Liubov Derdziak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2 (11)/2014

This article is devoted to the difficulties encountered by the modern family in Ukraine. These problems are the result of socialist regime in this country, which taught people to be irresponsible and to want easy life. Religious life has also an important impact on the family life. Its level often depends on confession and involvement in the religious life of the church community. Apart from the obvious problems, such as drunkenness, job emigration, divorces, occultism, in the Ukrainian society there are hidden social threats. All these factors have influence on the individuals and the whole nation and destroy relationship in families. All these have negative impact on young people and children who create their new families following those negative patterns.

Psychometric evaluation of Persian Nomophobia Questionnaire: Differential item functioning and measurement invariance across gender

Author(s): Chung-Ying Lin,Mark D. Griffiths,Amir H. Pakpour / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

Research examining problematic mobile phone use has increased markedly over the past 5 years and has been related to “no mobile phone phobia” (so-called nomophobia). The 20-item Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) is the only instrument that assesses nomophobia with an underlying theoretical structure and robust psychometric testing. This study aimed to confirm the construct validity of the Persian NMP-Q using Rasch and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) models. Methods: After ensuring the linguistic validity, Rasch models were used to examine the unidimensionality of each Persian NMP-Q factor among 3,216 Iranian adolescents and CFAs were used to confirm its four-factor structure. Differential item functioning (DIF) and multigroup CFA were used to examine whether males and females interpreted the NMP-Q similarly, including item content and NMP-Q structure. Results: Each factor was unidimensional according to the Rach findings, and the four-factor structure was supported by CFA. Two items did not quite fit the Rasch models (Item 14: “I would be nervous because I could not know if someone had tried to get a hold of me;” Item 9: “If I could not check my smartphone for a while, I would feel a desire to check it ”). No DIF items were found across gender and measurement invariance was supported in multigroup CFA across gender. Conclusions: Due to the satisfactory psychometric properties, it is concluded that the Persian NMP-Q can be used to assess nomophobia among adolescents. Moreover, NMP-Q users may compare its scores between genders in the knowledge that there are no score differences contributed by different understandings of NMP-Q items.

Problematic smartphone use, nature connectedness, and anxiety

Author(s): Miles Richardson,Zaheer Hussain,Mark D. Griffiths / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

Smartphone use has increased greatly at a time when concerns about society’s disconnection from nature have also markedly increased. Recent research has also indicated that smartphone use can be problematic for a small minority of individuals. Methods: In this study, associations between problematic smartphone use (PSU), nature connectedness, and anxiety were investigated using a cross-sectional design (n = 244). Results: Associations between PSU and both nature connectedness and anxiety were confirmed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to identify threshold values on the Problematic Smartphone Use Scale (PSUS) at which strong associations with anxiety and nature connectedness occur. The area under the curve was calculated and positive likelihood ratios used as a diagnostic parameter to identify optimal cut-off for PSU. These provided good diagnostic ability for nature connectedness, but poor and non-significant results for anxiety. ROC analysis showed the optimal PSUS threshold for high nature connectedness to be 15.5 (sensitivity: 58.3%; specificity: 78.6%) in response to an LR+ of 2.88. Conclusions: The results demonstrate the potential utility for the PSUS as a diagnostic tool, with a level of smartphone use that users may perceive as non-problematic being a significant cut-off in terms of achieving beneficial levels of nature connectedness. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Both active and sham low-frequency rTMS single sessions over the right DLPFC decrease cue-induced cravings among pathological gamblers seeking treatment: A randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled crossover trial

Author(s): Anne Sauvaget,Samuel Bulteau,Alice Guilleux,Juliette Leboucher,Anne Pichot,Pierre Valrivière,Jean-Marie Vanelle,Véronique Sébille-Rivain,Marie Grall-Bronnec / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

Craving is a core symptom of addictive disorders, such as pathological gambling for example. Over the last decade, several studies have assessed the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the addiction field, which triggers the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) to decrease craving. The STIMJEU study investigated whether a single session of low-frequency (LF, i.e., 1 Hz) rTMS applied to the right DLPFC reduced cueinduced gambling craving in a sample of treatment-seeking pathological gamblers. Methods: Thirty patients received both active and sham rTMS in random order and were blinded to the condition in a within-subject crossover design. Outcome measures included self-reported gambling craving (Visual Analog Scale and Gambling Craving Scale) and physiological measures (heart rate and blood pressure). Results: The rTMS sessions were associated with a significant decrease in the gambling urge, regardless of whether the session was active or sham. When controlling cue-induced craving levels, no effects were observed on craving for active rTMS. Overall, rTMS was well-tolerated, and the credibility of the sham procedure was assessed and appeared to be appropriate. Conclusions: We failed to demonstrate the specific efficacy of one session of LF rTMS to decrease cue-induced craving in pathological gamblers. A strong placebo-effect and rTMS parameters may partly explain these results. Yet, we are convinced that rTMS remains a promising therapeutic method. Further studies are required to examine its potential effect.

Age-related physical and psychological vulnerability as pathways to problem gambling in older adults

Author(s): Adrian Parke,Mark D. Griffiths,Julie Pattinson,David Keatley / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

To inform clinical treatment and preventative efforts, there is an important need to understand the pathways to late-life gambling disorder. Aims: This study assesses the association between age-related physical health, social networks, and problem gambling in adults aged over 65 years and assesses the mediating role of affective disorders in this association. Methods: The sample comprised 595 older adults (mean age: 74.4 years, range: 65–94 years; 77.1% female) who were interviewed using a structured questionnaire to assess physical frailty, geriatric pain, loneliness, geriatric depression, geriatric anxiety, and problem gambling. Results: Pathway analysis demonstrated associations between these variables and gambling problems, providing a good fit for the data, but that critically these relationships were mediated by both anxiety and depression symptoms. Conclusions: This study indicates that late-life problem gambling may develop as vulnerable individuals gamble to escape anxiety and depression consequent to deteriorating physical well-being and social support. When individuals develop late-life problem gambling, it is recommended that the treatment primarily focuses upon targeting and replacing avoidant coping approaches.

Does the uptake of wagering inducements predict impulse betting on sport?

Author(s): Nerilee Hing,Alex M.T. Russell,En Li,Peter Vitartas / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

Marketing inducements for addictive products, such as wagering, can prompt impulse purchasing by triggering consumption reminders, urges, and cravings. Wagering inducements incentivize betting by providing bonus bets, money-back guarantees, deposits into betting accounts, and discounts. Their promotion during sporting events, push marketing efforts directed at consumers, and ease of uptake at the point-of-sale, may trigger betting on impulse. This study examined whether the uptake of wagering inducements predicted impulse betting on sport. Methods: Australian sports bettors (N = 1,813) completed an online survey measuring their proportion of planned bets, impulse bets before match commencement, and impulse bets during play; frequency of using wagering inducements; and several psychological, behavioral, and demographic variables. Results: More frequent users of wagering inducements had a greater tendency to place impulse in-play bets, which were also predicted by problem gambling, higher buying impulsiveness, higher frequency of watching sports, younger age, and higher educational status. Sports bettors with a greater tendency to place impulse bets before match commencement also tended to have higher buying impulsiveness and to be younger, but they used inducements less frequently, and tended to be female, less-educated and non-problem, moderate risk, or problem gamblers. Discussion and conclusions: Uptake of wagering inducements appeared to be particularly effective in stimulating impulse in-play betting among problem gamblers and frequent sports viewers. These results suggest that a more cautious approach to the regulation of both in-play bets and wagering inducements may be required to better protect young adults from gambling problems and harm.

Instagram addiction and the Big Five of personality: The mediating role of self-liking

Author(s): Mark D. Griffiths,Kagan Kircaburun / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

Recent research has suggested that social networking site use can be addictive. Although extensive research has been carried out on potential addiction to social networking sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Tinder, only one very small study has previously examined potential addiction to Instagram. Consequently, the objectives of this study were to examine the relationships between personality, self-liking, daily Internet use, and Instagram addiction, as well as exploring the mediating role of self-liking between personality and Instagram addiction using path analysis. Methods: A total of 752 university students completed a self-report survey, including the Instagram Addiction Scale (IAS), the Big Five Inventory (BFI), and the Self-Liking Scale. Results: Results indicated that agreeableness, conscientiousness, and self-liking were negatively associated with Instagram addiction, whereas daily Internet use was positively associated with Instagram addiction. The results also showed that self-liking partially mediated the relationship of Instagram addiction with agreeableness and fully mediated the relationship between Instagram addiction with conscientiousness. Discussion and conclusions: This study contributes to the small body of literature that has examined the relationship between personality and social networking site addiction and is one of only two studies to examine the addictive use of Instagram and the underlying factors related to it.

Pro-dopamine regulator, KB220Z, attenuates hoarding and shopping behavior in a female, diagnosed with SUD and ADHD

Author(s): Thomas Mclaughlin,Kenneth Blum,Bruce Steinberg,Edward J. Modestino,Lyle Fried,David Baron,David Siwicki,Eric R. Braverman,Rajendra D. Badgaiyan / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

Addictive-like behaviors (e.g., hoarding and shopping) may be the result of the cumulative effects of dopaminergic and other neurotransmitter genetic variants as well as elevated stress levels. We, therefore, propose that dopamine homeostasis may be the preferred goal in combating such challenging and unwanted behaviors, when simple dopaminergic activation through potent agonists may not provide any resolution. Case presentation: C.J. is a 38-year-old, single, female, living with her mother. She has a history of substance use disorder as well as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, inattentive type. She had been stable on buprenorphine/naloxone combination and amphetamine, dextroamphetamine mixed salts for many years when unexpectedly she lost her job for oversleeping and not calling into work. KB200z (a pro-dopamine compound) was added to her regimen for complaints of low drive and motivation. After taking this nutraceutical for 4 weeks, she noticed a marked improvement in her mental status and many behaviors. She noted that her shopping and hoarding addictions had appreciably decreased. Furthermore, her lifelong history of terrifying lucid dreams was eliminated. Finally, she felt more in control; her locus of control shifted from external to more internal. Discussion: The hypothesis is that C.J.’s reported, behavioral, and psychological benefits resulted from the pro-dopamine-regulating effect of KB220Z across the brain reward system. Conclusions: This effect, we surmise, could be the result of a new dopamine balance, across C.J.’s brain reward system. Dopamine homeostasis is an effect of KB220Z seen in both animal and human placebo-controlled fMRI experiments.

Social construction of drug policies and target populations: U.S. Policy and media discourse

Author(s): Jonathan Langner,Anna Zajicek / Language(s): English Issue: 62/2017

In this review, we discuss the historical changes in U.S. drug policy discourse, institutional racism, and the social construction of target populations in media discourse. We do not intend to show a cause-effect relationship; instead, we use a social constructionist approach that focuses on meaning production and “truth-claims” to explore the relationship between news media and drug policy. We begin by discussing mass incarceration, war on drugs, and institutional racism. Next, we review a sample of the current research from the fields of sociology and criminology on drug policy, race, and media discourse. We then focus on the most recent articulation of drugrelated policy and media discourse – the discourse surrounding marijuana use, including most recent trends in marijuana discourse. We conclude by noting the possible direction for drug policies and discussing the need for research addressing gaps in current understanding of drug-related discourse and the social construction of target populations.

Skala uzależnienia od Facebooka wśród uczniów szkół ponadgimnazjalnych województwa podkarpackiego

Author(s): Sławomir Rębisz,Ilona Sikora / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2018

The authors of this publication have set themselves the following goals: 1) to diagnose the rate of dependence on Facebook (FB) among high schools school students; 2) to check whether gender is a determinant of this dependence, and 3) whether the time spent on using this social platform is related to dependency on it? The research was carried out in 11 high schools from the Podkarpackie Province on a sample of 1317 students (N = 1317). To diagnose the rate of FB addiction, the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS) was used in the Polish adaptation of Charzyńska and Góźdź. The results of the authors’ own research confirmed the presence of the pathological phenomenon of using this portal among the pupils surveyed. The scale of addiction is different. In accordance with the “liberal” approach, it amounted to 21,3% and the “conservative” approach to 3,3%. The research also confirmed that the time spent daily on this portal is a statistically significant variable differentiating the rate of dependence on FB (for the “liberal” measure: χ 2 (4) =105,91; p < 0,05, and for “conservative” χ 2 (4) = 22,16; p < 0,05). Moreover, gender significantly differentiates the rate of pathological use of the FB only with the “liberal” approach to measuring this dependency (χ 2 (1) = 6,05; p < 0,05).

Sense of Security in Males Addicted to the Internet

Author(s): Karolina Komsta-Tokarzewska / Language(s): English Issue: 10/2018

The aim of the article is to present and discuss the findings of research on a group of Internet addicts in the context of a sense of security. A growing interest in the issue of a sense of security, both from the socio-cultural and psychological perspective, is also reflected in the emergence of research on a sense of security among those who are at a high risk of Internet addiction. In Poland, this type of research is virtually non-existent so far. Its implementation and dissemination, coupled with the reflection thereon seems to be of paramount importance because of its wide practical implications: in the area of a therapeutic relationship, a healing process and prevention, as well as a deeper insight into the problems of Internet addicted patients.An interpretive analysis covered the results for 136 respondents, including: Internet addicts and those not addicted to the Internet, aged 18-39. The research involved male subjects only.Method. The research used the Sense of Security and Personal Resiliency Questionnaire (KPB-PO) by Zenon Uchnast and the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) by Kimberly Young. Results. There are differences in a sense of security of Internet addicts and non-addicts. Developing a sense of security can contribute to improving the functioning of people who are addicted to the Internet.

SOCIOISTORIJSKI KONTEKST UPOTREBE DROGA - OD MARGINALNE POJAVE DO GLOBALNOG FENOMENA

Author(s): Šahim Kahrimanović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 4/2019

The industrialization and modernization of society, the development of large cities and megalopolises, the urban way of life, the migration of the population and the mixing of cultures and custom on one hand, and the enormous gap between the rich and the poor, wars, uncertain future and the general picture of humanity on the other, are characteristics of time we live. In addition to the undeniable progress in a large number of spheres of human life, such a rhythm of change has influenced the emergence and development of many problems in modern world, such as social and economic insecurity, unemployment, urban overpopulation. All this has contributed to the development of different lifestyles and forms of behavior that deviate from the generally accepted and conventional norms of life. Among other things, the recognizable features of this modern society include pathological events that are detrimental for both the individual and the society thet include alcoholism, prostitution, trafficking in human beings, pedophilia and drug abuse. The use and abuse of drugs, its place and role in a particular society has changed throughout history. Sometimes the drug was mainly used for magical, ritual and healing purposes. The use of drugs today has become a mass phenomenon, especially since, in a rather sophisticated form and legally, it is used as a medicine. In this article we will look at the socio-historical context of the use of drugs in society, that is, the process of transition from a marginal occurrence to the global sociopathological phenomenon.

OVISNOST - UZROK ILI POSLJEDICA NASILJA

Author(s): Anđa Anđelić s.Amata / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 3/2018

Wide spread and consuming of drugs and psychoactive substances among adolescents and youth is growing to an alarming point and is turning into a way to an addiction that has no fear of anything, even of violence. Besides that, the person – a male or a female addict – as seen through the eyes of Marjanovac Center, did not meet the eye with themselves, others and human values which are worth living for, they are also in danger of accepting the violence as a necessary cause – consequence factor for making their goals, seeing psychoactive substances as “help” in experiencing the act of violence and very often with consequences of violence with whom a person cannot deal by itself and cannot find enough strength to ask for adequate help from family and social institutions. The goal never justifies acts but when it comes to violence of the addicted population we are more common of judging and marginalizing then looking for the adequate solution and making it less damaging by giving them an opportunity for a change. Penalty systems which are used to lower the rate of violence are just one of the ways and are not always the most ideal solution for a young person. The responsibility of the whole community is in systematic approach and prevention of family violence, violence in schools, media and all other areas of acting. If we look at the definition of violence brought by The World Health Organization 2002., that it is intentional use of physical strength and power of threating or acting towards yourself, another person or towards a group of people, or the whole community, which could result or results with injury, death, psychological consequences or deprivation, it is clear that it concerns all kinds of violence from physical and / or emotional, sexual, economical or any other kind of violence that makes real or possible harm to another person or the whole community. From the experience by working with addicts in a drug rehabilitation Center Marjanovac it is visible that ones successfully resolved issues of addiction results with solving the violent behavior.

PRAKTIČNE IMPLIKACIJE SAVREMENOG PENOLOŠKOG PRISTUPA NA INSTITUCIONALNI TRETMAN OSUĐENIKA -osvrt na tretman zavisnika-

Author(s): Ljeposava Ilijić / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 2/2017

The development of society has led to the development of new ideas and concepts in the field of penological theory and practice. The earlier concept of resocialization, although not completely abandoned, gave way to a new concept-the concept of reintegration to offenders who are focused on risk control development. The practical implications of the new approach to institutional treatment are reflected in a different approach to prison management, a different approach to the convicted population, a multiple classification, and the realization of numerous programs designed according to the individual needs of the convict and the estimated level of risk. The convict is viewed as an individual who has a certain risk for future criminal behavior, and appropriate treatment needs that level of risk to alleviate, or completely eliminate, in order to better protect the community and better social reintegration of the offender. Identifying dynamic and static risk factors, as well as constructing assessment which in practical work allow a good prediction of future criminal behavior, the level of prisoners' needs and the capacity to strengthen, served as a good basis for practical treatment in institutional work. In this paper, in addition to presenting contemporary penological tendencies and the concept of risk assessment, the author also looks at the characteristics of specialized treatments intended for the prisoners who are addicts of psychoactive substances. Bearing in mind that the use of psychoactive substances is a risk factor for future criminal behavior, but also the fact that one can not strive for the successful execution of a prison sentence, if the problem of addiction is over, the author in this paper draws attention to some modalities of specialized treatments that are intended for this population and applied in the practice of developed countrie.
