Self-efficacy, expectancies, and abstinence acceptance: further evidence for the addicted-self model of cessation of alcohol- and drug- dependent behavior.
The Addicted-Self Model of the cessation of alcohol- and drug-dependent behaviors is outlined briefly, and five hypotheses consistent with the predictions of the model are examined. All five hypotheses are confirmed, broadening the support for the Addicted-Self Model of recovery. These findings also suggest modifications of the assumptions underlying alcohol and drug expectancy research. These modifications are discussed, and directions for further research are suggested.
