“…Substance abusers’ frequent endorsement of socialization motivation may reflect social skill deficits that may contribute to excessive substance use and represent a target for intervention (Monti et al, 1981; Van Hasselt et al, 1993). …”

Background Although recreational gambling is prevalent and co-occurs with substance abuse/dependence, few studies have investigated the relationship between the two. Methods Logistic regression analyses were performed on data from a nationally representative sample from the Gambling Impact and Behavior Study. Results Substance-abusing recreational gamblers, as compared to non-substance-abusing ones, differed in gambling motivations, began gambling at earlier ages, reported heavier gambling, and preferred and performed strategic forms of gambling. Conclusions As compared with non-substance-abusing gamblers, substance-abusing gamblers demonstrated different gambling profiles including heavier gambling. These findings suggest the need for additional research on whether and how substance use might promote gambling and vice-versa.

“…In this regard, grief and partner loss in later life is especially relevant to depression in the elderly (Costello and Kendrick, 2000). Significant associations have been reported between social skills, levels of self-esteem and depression in adolescent substance abusers (Van Hasselt et al, 1993). Depression-like behaviors and related lack of social skills in adulthood may also favor alcohol (Windle and Windle, 2012) and drug abuse (Mueser and Gingerich, 2013).…”

Pathogenesis of depression: Insights from human and rodent studies

Major depressive disorder (MDD) will affect one out of every five people in their lifetime and is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Nevertheless, mechanisms associated with the pathogenesis of MDD have yet to be completely understood and current treatments remain ineffective in a large subset of patients. In this review, we summarize the most recent discoveries and insights for which parallel findings have been obtained in human depressed subjects and rodent models of mood disorders in order to examine the potential etiology of depression. These mechanisms range from synaptic plasticity mechanisms to epigenetics and the immune system where there is strong evidence to support a functional role in the development of specific depression symptomology. Ultimately we conclude by discussing how novel therapeutic strategies targeting central and peripheral processes might ultimately aid in the development of effective new treatments for MDD and related stress disorders.

“…Desde esta década, existe bastante consenso en incluir entrenamiento en asertividad dentro del tratamiento de alcohólicos y drogodependientes; una de las razones que se señalan es que los individuos presentan dificultades en la interacción social y eficacia interpersonal desde la infancia. Van Hasselt et al (1993) exploran la relación entre consumo de alcohol, drogas y asertividad en sujetos sometidos a tratamiento para su dependencia. El análisis de sus datos señala que unos sujetos se muestran más agresivos y otros menos asertivos.…”

A unque son todavía escasos los estudios que relacionan variables de personalidad con las drogodependencias, cabe deducir que en aquellas situaciones en las que el sujeto se ve inmerso por la presión para consumir drogas y tiene que exhibir una determinada estrategia de afrontamiento, están mediando variables tales como autocontrol, asertividad, estilo atribucional y autoeficacia. El estudio de las relaciones entre estas variables permitirá diseñar intervenciones eficaces tanto de prevención como de tratamiento. RESUMENEn este estudio se intenta relacionar el consumo de drogas con el autocontrol, estilo atribucional, asertividad y autoeficacia. Participaron en el estudio 53 sujetos consumidores de alcohol, hachís, cocaína y heroína que fueron reclutados en lugares de encuentro de jóvenes (gimnasios, asociaciones, bares y centros de estudios y trabajo). Las medidas que se utilizaron fueron el Cuestionario de Autocontrol de Rosenbaum (1980), el Cuestionario de Estilo Atribucional de Peterson et al. (1982), el Inventario de Asertividad de Rathus (1973) y la Escala de Autoeficacia de Sherer et al. (1982). Se realizaron dos análisis de regresión lineal múltiple para cada una de las variables que definen el consumo de drogas: cantidad de droga consumida (alcohol, hachís, cocaína y heroína) y cronicidad del consumo de drogas (años de consumo de alcohol, hachís, cocaína y heroína). En los dos aná-lisis de regresión lineal múltiple las variables independientes son las mismas variables de personalidad (estilo atribucional para los éxitos y estilo atribucional para los fracasos, asertividad, autocontrol y autoeficacia) y las variables dependientes son las puntuaciones estandarizadas de la cantidad de consumo de droga y de la cronicidad del consumo de drogas. Los resultados muestran que el autocontrol y la asertividad están relacionados con el consumo de drogas (cantidad y cronicidad del consumo). La relación entre el autocontrol y el consumo de drogas es inversa, mientras que la relación entre la asertividad y el consumo de drogas es directa. Nuestros resultados ponen de manifiesto la conveniencia de intervenir en las variables mencionadas como forma de prevención en el consumo posterior. Palabras clave: autocontrol, asertividad, consumo de drogas. ABSTRACTIn this study, we attempted to relate drug use with self-control, attributional style, assertiveness and self-efficacy. 53 subjects, alcohol, hashish, cocaine and heroin users, took part in the study. They were contacted in youth hang-outs such as sports clubs, bars, associations, and study or work centres. The measurement tools used in the study were: Self-control Questionnaire by Rosenbaum (1980), Attributional Style Questionnaire by Peterson et al. (1982), Assertiveness Inventory by Rathus (1973) and Self-efficacy Scale by Sherer et al. (1982). Two lineal multiple regression analyses were carried out, for each of the variables that make up the severity of the use, these variables being: quantity used (alcohol, hashish, cocaine and heroin) and drug use chronicity (year...
