Addictive Behaviors: An Analysis of Support Type and Relapse Rates among College Students
International Journal of Modern Education Studies, v5 n1 p168-181 Jun 2021
Addictions can be classified as any substance, habit or behavior that one has come to depend upon. These can include a variety of habits or behaviors outside of the traditional illicit drug realm. We studied substances, behaviors and habitual addictions to determine if relapse rates are negatively correlated with positive or negative support. We used a mixed-methods design that examined undergraduate psychology students who were asked to give up an addictive substance, behavior or habit of their choice for 30 days. In addition to investigating data using qualitative measures, two independent samples t-tests found that there were significant differences between relapse rates and support levels, p=0.002, and relapse rates and gender p=0.011.
