The abstract of this paper can be translated into standard journalistic English as follows:
Research Perspective 1: The occurrence, development, and maintenance of addiction are closely related to identity. Identity plays an important role in the addiction process and requires further research to better understand these connections.
In the field of addiction, identity construction, including self-identity, social identity, and ethnic identity, is involved. These identity constructions have an impact on addictive behavior and require further exploration.
Nicotine and tobacco use is associated with identity construction, and identity construction influences nicotine and tobacco use behavior. Therefore, identity construction should be given greater attention in nicotine and tobacco research.
By using ontology as a methodology, a new theoretical framework and research approach can be provided for deeper understanding of the relationship between addiction and identity. Ontology can prove to be an effective tool for studying the construction of identity in the field of addiction.
This article emphasizes the importance of identity in the field of addiction and proposes an ontology for constructing addiction-related identities, using nicotine and tobacco research as examples. This provides a new theoretical framework and research approach for understanding the relationship between addiction and identity. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, the research examines the relationship between addiction and identity from multiple perspectives.
According to research, identity plays a significant role in the occurrence, development, and maintenance of addiction. The study provides a detailed analysis and classification of the various identity constructs involved in addiction, including self-identity, social identity, and ethnic identity.
Furthermore, the study explored the relationship between identity construction and nicotine and tobacco use, elaborating on the impact of identity construction on these behaviors and suggesting directions for future research. This study holds important reference value in advancing research in the field of addiction towards a deeper understanding of the relationship between addiction and identity.
