- Addictive Behaviour
- Griffiths (2005)
- 1. Salience [most important activity in the addict’s life and dominates their thinking, feelings and behaviour]
- 2. Mood Modification [subjective experience that people report as a consequence of engaging in the particular activity]
- 3. Tolerance [increasing amounts of the particular activity are required to achieve the former effects]
- 4. Withdrawal Symptoms [unpleasant feelings, states and/or physical effects that occur when the particular activity is discontinued or suddenly reduced]
- 5. Conflict [conflicts between the addict and those around them (interpersonal conflict) or from within the individual themselves (intrapsychic conflict)]
- 6. Relapse [tendency for repeated reversions to earlier patterns of the particular activity]
- Walters (1999)
- Perceived [addict is engrossed by their addictive stimulus]
- Preoccupation [continuing to engage in addictive stimulus despite difficulty and conflict]
- Persistence [continuing to engage in addictive stimulus as tolerance increases]
- Progression [addict feels like they have lost control when in fact they havent]
- Sense of dependency and strong sense of physiological and psychological need for a substance or behaviour.
- Griffiths (2005)
