“…Indeed, nowadays, cannabis is increasingly associated with sociability and sharing (Hammersley, Jenkins, & Reid, 2001). Concerning nicotine addiction, the absence of evidence for any difference from the control group may be because nicotine enhances social functioning (Martin & Sayette, 2018). Taken broadly, these first results yielded quite a clear distinction between the two behavioral addictions we measured-gambling and gaming-in terms of the level of prosocialness reported.…”

“…Moreover, prosocialness may vary according to the type of addiction. For instance, alcohol has been demonstrated to disrupt social behaviors (Holman, Ellis, Morgan, & Weinberg, 2018;Kelly, Day, & Streissguth, 2000), whereas addiction to nicotine and to cannabis have not (Macleod et al, 2004;Martin & Sayette, 2018). As to behavioral addictions, problem gambling seems to reduce socialness, particularly when it is carried out online (Griffiths, Parke, Wood, & Parke, 2005) or on machines (Sch€ ull, 2014).…”

Background and aimsSocial determinants are closely related to addiction, both as a cause and a consequence of substance use and other addictive behaviors. The present paper examines prosocialness (i.e. the tendency to help, empathize, and care for others) among a population of young males. We compared prosocialness across different types of addiction and examined whether prosocialness varied according to the presence of multiple addictions.MethodsA sample of 5,675 young males, aged 19–29 years old (Mean = 21.4; Median = 21), completed a questionnaire that included screening tools to identify addictive behaviors with regards to alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, gambling, and gaming. The questionnaire also included a scale to measure prosocialness.ResultsCompared to a no-addiction control group, the subgroups of young men suffering from behavioral addictions (i.e., gambling and gaming) reported the lowest levels of prosocialness. Respondents with an alcohol addiction also showed lower prosocialness compared to no-addiction controls. By contrast, no significant differences in prosocialness were found between respondents with nicotine disorder or cannabis disorder and the no-addiction controls. Furthermore, the number of addictions had no clear, observable effects on prosocialness. Significant differences were found between the no-addiction control group and the groups reporting one or more addictions, but not between the separate groups reporting one, two, and three or more addictions.Discussion and conclusionsA better understanding of the social dimension affecting young males with addiction, particularly gambling and gaming addictions, may be useful for their prevention and treatment.

“…Previous studies have reported that social behaviour requires the function of multiple brain regions, such as the medial prefrontal cortex 4 – 7 . The cholinergic system is a potential constituent for the neural mechanisms underlying social behaviour 8 – 10 . Indeed, systemic administration of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist scopolamine disrupts social interaction or social recognition in rodents 11 – 13 , and deficits in these behaviours were restored by treatment with the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor galantamine or the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist AR-R 17779 12 , 13 .…”

Social behaviour is a complex construct that is reported to include several components of social approach, interaction and recognition memory. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is mainly characterized by progressive dementia and is accompanied by cognitive impairments, including a decline in social ability. The cholinergic system is a potential constituent for the neural mechanisms underlying social behaviour, and impaired social ability in AD may have a cholinergic basis. However, the involvement of cholinergic function in social behaviour has not yet been fully understood. Here, we performed a selective elimination of cholinergic cell groups in the basal forebrain in mice to examine the role of cholinergic function in social interaction and social recognition memory by using the three-chamber test. Elimination of cholinergic neurons in the medial septum (MS) and vertical diagonal band of Broca (vDB) caused impairment in social interaction, whereas ablating cholinergic neurons in the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM) impaired social recognition memory. These impairments were restored by treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors, leading to cholinergic system activation. Our findings indicate distinct roles of MS/vDB and NBM cholinergic neurons in social interaction and social recognition memory, suggesting that cholinergic dysfunction may explain social ability deficits associated with AD symptoms.

“…Smoking, social cognition and social functioning are entangled in a complex triangle. Acute nicotine administration has been suggested to have enhancing effects on social cognition and functioning ( Martin and Sayette, 2018 ). However, this relationship is far from straightforward.…”

Introduction In patients with psychotic disorders, both tobacco smoking and deficits in social cognition and social functioning are highly prevalent. However, little is known about their relationship in psychosis. The authors sought to evaluate the multi-cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between tobacco smoking, social cognition and social functioning in a large prospective study. Methods This study was performed within the Genetic Risk and Outcome of Psychosis (GROUP) Study, a cohort study conducted in patients with non-affective psychosis (N = 1074), their unaffected siblings (N = 1047) and healthy controls (N = 549). At baseline, three years and six years of follow-up, data on tobacco smoking (using the Composite International Diagnostic Review), social cognition (emotion processing and theory of mind) and social functioning were collected. To assess associations between tobacco smoking and social cognition or social functioning, multivariate linear mixed-effects models and multiple linear regression models were used. Bonferroni correction for multiple testing was applied. Results A significant positive association was found between smoking and emotion processing (as part of social cognition) in the patient group (estimate = 1.96, SE = 0.6, p = 0.003). However, smoking was significantly negatively associated with participating in pro-social activities compared with smoking (estimate = 2.55, SE = 0.9, p = 0.004). Change in smoking behaviour was not associated with social cognition or social functioning in the longitudinal analyses. Conclusion Findings indicate that smoking patients with a non-affective psychotic disorder slightly outperformed their non-smoking peers on a task on social cognition, but participated less in pro-social activities. Commencement or cessation of smoking was not related to social cognition or functioning.
