Mediation Effects

This study was designed to investigate the mediation effects of both self-esteem and loneliness on the relationship between social support and subjective well-being in drug addicts. In all, 110 participants, all drug addicts from Guangdong Fangcun Brain Hospital, completed the questionnaire. Pearson’s correlation analysis showed that perceived social support was positively related to self-esteem and life satisfaction and was negatively correlated with loneliness in drug addicts. Structural equation modeling estimated by the Bootstrap method indicated that loneliness and self-esteem partially mediated the association between perceived social support and life satisfaction. These findings provided insights into the association between perceived social support and life satisfaction in drug addicts.

Introduction: Immigration is known as an effective factor in crime. The probable assumption is that immigration can also contribute to the spread of addiction. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of migration on the prevalence of addiction. Methods: The study population consisted of all drug addicts referring to well-being centers and addiction treatment camps. As a result, 384 addicts were selected by available sampling method and studied by a researcher-made questionnaire. The results were analyzed using SPSS. Results: According to the results, the proportion of addicted migrants was more than the natives. We found that 47.4% of the addicts were immigrants, while immigrants constitute 33% of the statistical population of Yazd City. In other words, in proportion to the population size, a larger percentage of immigrants are addicted than the natives. The population of drug addicts outside the province was almost twice the number of immigrants inside the Yazd province. In addition, about one-third of the drug addicts were immigrants outside the province. The immigrants' mean of addiction was between 23 and 25, while this rate was 22.4 for the natives. Non-native addicts typically consume psychotropic pills and opium. Furthermore, a significant difference was observed in the amount of social control, social support, cultural attraction, marginalization between immigrants, and non-immigrants. Conclusion: Comparing immigrants with natives, immigrants had more tendency to addiction, drug distribution, and the history of quitting drugs. Social marginalization and lack of social control, social support, and cultural attraction among immigrants were effective in increasing their addiction rate.

Abstract. Conflict avoidance increases across the adult lifespan. This cross-sectional study looks at conflict avoidance as part of a mechanism to regulate belongingness needs ( Sheldon, 2011 ). We assumed that older adults perceive more threats to their belongingness when they contemplate their future, and that they preventively react with avoidance coping. We set up a model predicting conflict avoidance that included perceptions of future nonbelonging, termed anticipated loneliness, and other predictors including sociodemographics, indicators of subjective well-being and perceived social support (N = 331, aged 40–87). Anticipated loneliness predicted conflict avoidance above all other predictors and partially mediated the age-association of conflict avoidance. Results suggest that belongingness regulation accounts may deepen our understanding of conflict avoidance in the second half of life.
