Background and Purpose: Addiction is a social problem and one of the fundamental challenges to public health and social well-being. Some psychological factors contribute to substance use; this study aimed to determine the role of anxiety sensitivity and negative affectivity in predicting addiction potential.
Method: This research employed a descriptive-correlational design. The statistical population consisted of students from Lorestan University, from which 384 students were selected using convenience sampling based on entry and exit criteria. Participants completed questionnaires on anxiety sensitivity (Floyd et al., 2005), positive and negative affect (Watson et al., 1988), and addiction potential scale (Weed et al., 1992). Data were analyzed using stepwise regression analysis in SPSS software.
Results: The findings indicated a significant positive relationship between anxiety sensitivity, negative affect, and addiction potential use among students. Stepwise regression analysis demonstrated that anxiety sensitivity and negative affect could predict 60% of students' addiction potential.
Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that anxiety sensitivity and negative affect directly influence addiction potential. Therefore, it is recommended that therapists pay more attention to anxiety sensitivity and negative affect as predictors of addiction potential.
