Researchers have recently applied evolutionary life history theory to the understanding of behaviors often conceived of as prosocial or antisocial. In addition, researchers have applied cognitive science to the understanding of substance use and used dual process models, where explicit cognitive processes are modeled as relatively distinct from implicit cognitive processes, to explain and predict substance use behaviors. In this paper we synthesized these two theoretical perspectives to produce an adaptive and cognitive framework for explaining substance use. We contend that this framework provides new insights into the nature of substance use that may be valuable for both clinicians and researchers.
研究人员最近将进化生命史理论应用于理解那些通常被认为是亲社会或反社会的行为。此外,研究人员已将认知科学应用于理解物质使用,并使用双过程模型(其中明确的认知过程被建模为与隐含的认知过程相对不同)来解释和预测物质使用行为。在本文中,我们综合了这两种理论观点,以产生一个用于解释物质使用的适应性和认知框架。我们认为,这个框架为物质使用的本质提供了新的见解,这对临床医生和研究人员可能都有价值。
