Summary
The traditional alcoholism model views it as an inherent trait, contrasting with the emergent model that explains behavior without unseen factors. These differing assumptions create communication challenges in alcohol studies.
Area of Science:
- Alcoholism Studies
- Behavioral Science
- Addiction Research
Background:
- Traditional alcoholism model: behavior is a consequence of an inherent, unmeasured entity.
- This view parallels historical scientific beliefs in unseen creators.
- Contrasts with emergent models and modern scientific thought.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare traditional and emergent models of alcoholism.
- To highlight the differing assumptions and communication challenges between these models.
- To discuss the future dominance of either model in alcohol studies.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual analysis of two distinct models of alcoholism.
- Comparison of underlying assumptions in traditional and emergent perspectives.
- Literature review of scientific thought evolution in addiction studies.
Main Results:
- Traditional model posits alcoholism as an inherent, unseen cause.
- Emergent model explains alcoholic behavior through observable factors, aligning with modern science.
- Significant communication barriers exist between adherents of the two models due to differing assumptions.
Conclusions:
- The divergence in assumptions between traditional and emergent alcoholism models leads to communication difficulties.
- Future research and treatment developments will likely determine the prevailing model in the field of alcohol studies.

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

Avoidance-avoidance conflict refers to a psychological situation where a person must choose between two or more unpleasant alternatives. These conflicts are particularly stressful because neither option is desirable. This dilemma is often expressed in sayings like "caught between a rock and a hard place" or "between the devil and the deep blue sea." For instance, individuals who fear dental procedures may find themselves torn between enduring a painful toothache or facing the...

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
