Abstract

Abstract Both hedonia and eudaimonia contribute to well-being, but existing literature on alcohol-dependence concentrates on hedonic needs alone, leaving a research gap on the role of eudaimonia in alcohol-dependence. Theoretically, mindfulness promotes eudaimonia that presumably benefits individuals with alcohol-dependence, but the empirical literature on the same is scarce. Hence, the current pilot study intended to examine the association of eudaimonia and mindfulness with alcohol-dependence, and assess the feasibility of the main study. Study-I compared mindfulness and eudaimonia of individuals with (N = 154) and without (N = 160) alcohol-dependence. Its results called forth a study-II that explored the role of eudaimonia and mindfulness in predicting alcohol-dependence among the individuals undergoing treatment for alcohol-dependence (N = 110). The data were analyzed using the independent-sample t-test, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. Study-I revealed the significant deficiency of mindfulness and eudaimonia among individuals with alcohol-dependence compared to those without alcohol-dependence. Study-II found that mindfulness and eudaimonia predicted alcohol-dependence and alcohol craving. Study result indicates the potential role of mindfulness and eudaimonia in the effective treatment of alcohol-dependence, through significant correlation among the variables. The study also highlights the feasibility and utility of the main study.

期刊介绍： One of the largest multidisciplinary open access journals serving the psychology community, Cogent Psychology provides a home for scientifically sound peer-reviewed research. Part of Taylor & Francis / Routledge, the journal provides authors with fast peer review and publication and, through open access publishing, endeavours to help authors share their knowledge with the world. Cogent Psychology particularly encourages interdisciplinary studies and also accepts replication studies and negative results. Cogent Psychology covers a broad range of topics and welcomes submissions in all areas of psychology, ranging from social psychology to neuroscience, and everything in between. Led by Editor-in-Chief Professor Peter Walla of Webster Private University, Austria, and supported by an expert editorial team from institutions across the globe, Cogent Psychology provides our authors with comprehensive and quality peer review. Rather than accepting manuscripts based on their level of importance or impact, editors assess manuscripts objectively, accepting valid, scientific research with sound rigorous methodology. Article-level metrics let the research speak for itself.
