Addictive Behaviors 

TL;DR: Findings support the usefulness of the DAST for quantifying the extent of drug involvement within a help-seeking population, but further validation work is needed in other populations and settings.

TL;DR: In this article, the validity of the Tolerance Questionnaire, intended to measure physical dependence to nicotine, was tested in three experiments and significant correlations between physical dependence and degree of acquired increase in tolerance and the temperature withdrawal response were found.

TL;DR: The results showed that the Binge Eating Scale successfully discriminated among persons judged by trained interviewers to have either no, moderate or severe binge eating problems, such that severe bingers tended to set up diets which were unrealistically strict while reporting low efficacy expectations to sustain a diet.

TL;DR: The present paper draws on the diffusion of innovations model to derive a series of strategies for speeding up the spread and implementation of new ideas in preventing addiction.

TL;DR: A hierarchical model which integrates the previously competing models provided the best fit to the data and serves to explain a large body of previous findings.
