Background and Objective: Considering the increasing trend of addiction, it is necessary to study its constituent factors and its continuity to be able to make appropriate decisions in treating addiction and reducing its individual, familial and social harm. Therefore, the present study investigated the role of emotional expression styles and religious coping styles in students' tendency towards addiction.
Methods: The present study is descriptive correlational. The statistical population includes 2000 students residing in the dormitory of Mohaghegh Ardabili University from 2017 to 2018 out of which 200 were selected through available sampling method. To collect data related to the scales of emotional expression, preparedness for addiction and Paraghamat Religious Conflict were used. Finally, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and regression were used to analyze the data. In this study, all the ethical considerations have been observed and no conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
Results: The results of this study showed that there was a significantly negative correlation between emotional excitement styles (positive and negative) except for the intimacy style and students’ tendency towards addiction. The results also showed that there was a significantly negative correlation between the positive religious style and the tendency toward addiction among students and a positive and significant correlation between the negative religious styles and the tendency to addiction. Also, the results of regression showed that emotional excitement and religious coping are good predictors of students’ preparedness for addiction.
Conclusion: The results of the present study are in line with the findings of other studies that show emotional excitement and religious coping styles have an important role in the students' tendency toward drug addiction. Therefore, preventive measures should be taken in this regard.
