How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Background. Addictive disorders involve significant psychological and social consequences. Their development is shaped by interpersonal factors, such as the dependence–codependency nexus, and resources like meaning in life and hardiness, which influence maladjustment risk and behavioral persistence. Objective. The study assessed associations between interpersonal dependence, codependency, hopelessness, and resource variables, while comparing psychological profiles of substance-related and behavioral addictions. Methods. Data from 22 adults (M age=24.45; 18 men) with gambling (n=14), drug (n=7), and alcohol (n=1) addictions were analyzed. Instruments included the IDI, Weinhold Scale, BHS, PIL, and Hardiness Test. Analyses used Mann–Whitney U, Cliff’s delta (FDR corrected), and Spearman’s rho with 95% bootstrap confidence intervals. Results. The substance-related group was younger (p=.039), showing higher codependency (p=.0036), greater emotional reliance (p=.010), and lower hardiness (p=.015). Interpersonal dependence correlated strongly with hardiness (ρ= −.87). Codependency was negatively associated with hardiness (ρ= −.79) and meaning in life (ρ= −.73). Hopelessness correlated negatively with meaning (ρ= −.64) and hardiness (ρ= −.68). Conclusions. Meaning in life and hardiness serve as protective factors, while interpersonal dependence and codependency form a vulnerability dyad linked to hopelessness. Rehabilitation should target autonomy, personal boundaries, and meaning-based regulation.
