Abstract
This study examined the effect of belief about the root causes of addiction on one’s perceived ability to recover, with socioeconomic status (SES) as a moderator for this relationship. Addiction, a highly prevalent issue that burdens many people and society, still lacks effective treatment with long-lasting effects, which makes it an important topic for investigation. This study conducted a correlational research design with 57 participants who self-identified as addicts. The data was collected through a Qualtrics questionnaire that assessed beliefs about the root causes of addiction, perceived ability to recover, and demographic information, including socioeconomic status. A linear regression and moderation analysis was performed. Results were non-significant for the relationship between belief about the root causes and perceived ability to recover (p > .05) and non-significant for the moderation effect of SES. These findings suggest that other factors, such as cognitive reserve or social support systems, might play a more significant role in predicting the perceived ability to recover. Further research should explore these relationships with a larger and more diverse sample size.
