While no factor predominates, each exerts some degree of influence.
Among the many factors that have been shown to influence the development of an addiction are feelings about oneself, emotional state, quality of family relationships, social ties, community attributes, employment status, stress reactivity and coping skills, physical or emotional pain, personality traits, educational opportunities, compelling goals and progress toward them, opportunities for and access to rewards in life, as well as physiological responses. Instead, research indicates that it is more related to what else is, or isn’t, going on in a person’s life that makes the sensation a substance induces so attractive.
Addiction is not a property of the substance ingested or activity engaged in. Addiction can’t happen without exposure to agents, but that is hardly the determining factor. Together they reflect the fact that there is no one path to addiction, and no one factor makes addiction an inevitable outcome. Biology, psychology, and social and cultural elements all play a role in the enormously complex causal bouquet that results in addiction, and different theories weight the elements differently. There are many theories about the causes of addiction, the use and abuse of legal and illegal psychoactive substances.
