About the Course

The article titled “Influence of anxious attachment on the relationship between primary emotions and substance-related addictive behaviors” by Jürgen Fuchshuber et al. investigates the role of anxious attachment in mediating the relationship between primary emotions (sadness and anger) and addictive behaviors related to substance use. Using a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach, the study examines how anxious attachment influences the connection between primary emotions and the likelihood of engaging in substance-related addictions. The findings suggest that while anger has a direct effect on addictive behaviors, sadness impacts addictive behaviors through attachment anxiety.

This course is based on the reading online article, Influence of Anxious Attachment on the Relationship Between Primary Emotions and Substance-related Addictive Behaviors created by Dr. Jürgen Fuchshuber et al in 2024.
