The current volume brings together social psychological theories
and concepts and discusses their relevance to understanding
substance use and addiction. It identifies convergence points
between traditional perspectives on addiction and social
psychological theory and research. This coexistence, which
acknowledges the value of the conceptual and methodological
advancements in each relevant field and attempts to integrate them,
promotes scientific understanding and a more effective prevention
and treatment of addiction.
This volume honors the work of Arie W. Kruglanski. It represents a
collection of chapters written by Arie's former students, friends,
and collaborators. The chapters are rather diverse and cover a
variety of topics from politics, including international terrorism,
to health related issues, such as addiction and self-control, to
basic psychological principles, such as motivation and
self-regulation, the formation of attitudes, social influence, and
interpersonal relationships. What these chapters have in common is
that they have all been inspired by Arie's revolutionary work on
human motivation and represent the authors' attempt to apply the
basic principles of motivation to the understanding of diverse
phenomena.
