About this ebook
""Social Triggers of Addiction"" explores how social environments profoundly influence addictive behaviors, arguing that addiction stems not only from personal choices or biology but significantly from surrounding social factors. It emphasizes social learning, peer influence, and socioeconomic disparities as key drivers. For example, individuals may acquire addictive behaviors through observing and imitating others within their social networks, highlighting the power of social learning. The book uniquely integrates diverse perspectives to offer a holistic understanding, moving beyond individualistic perspectives to a socio-ecological framework.
The book progresses by first introducing core concepts and the socio-ecological framework. It then examines the impact of family dynamics, peer groups, and socioeconomic factors on addiction. For instance, socioeconomic disparities like poverty create environments that increase vulnerability. Drawing on historical trends, sociological studies, and psychological research, the book provides context while underscoring the critical role of social variables.
Ultimately, it discusses social policies and interventions to address these triggers, such as community-based programs and prevention initiatives.
