Reflection: recall the etiological theories we discussed during the last few classes. Distal antecedents (literal translation: far precursors: neurobiological factors (genetic predisposition, psychosocial factors (impulsivity, poverty, exposure to the object. Interaction with the object: desirable subjective shift. *addiction has not yet developed at this time: 2. Proximal antecedents (literal translation: near precursors: biopsychosocial factors (trauma, hormones, repeated interaction, repeated desirable subjective shifts. *premorbid addiction syndrome develops at this time: 3. Consequences/outcomes: some outcomes unique to the object (gambling=debt, smoking=lung cancer, some outcomes common across all objects (tolerance, relapse, treatment, criminal behavior) *full addiction syndrome with consequences at this point. Genetics: genes: segments of dna (deoxyribonucleic acid, certain traits, such as intelligence and personality are polygenic. Behavioral genetics: how can we determine whether a trait is genetic, look at sibling and twin studies.
