“…Family functioning, including critical and controlling parents, and family discord may contribute to both classes of psychopathology. Moreover, personality traits conducive to these behavioral patterns are shared in EDs and study addiction, including rigid perfectionism, narcissism, competitiveness, and general emotional instability [13,14,18,25,26,64].…”

Compulsive overworking and eating disorders (EDs) show considerable similarities in terms of risk factors (e.g., rigid perfectionism), clinical manifestation (e.g., excessive controlling behaviors), and consequences (e.g., physical exhaustion and depression). This study aimed to examine the hypotheses that compulsive study behaviors (conceptualized as study addiction) are related to EDs and that they have independent negative effects on well-being among young musicians, who constitute a highly vulnerable population for these types of problematic behaviors. The relatively high prevalence of study addiction and its pronounced negative relationship with psychosocial functioning make it a pending challenge for sustainable education. A total of 255 students from various music academies in Poland took part in the study. The Bergen Study Addiction Scale, assessing compulsive studying (conceptualized as addictive behavior), the Eating Attitude Test-26 (EAT-26), the Perceived Stress Scale, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the quality-of-life measure were used. A structural equation model was investigated. Study addiction was positively related to the general factor of EDs and the social pressure component. Both problematic behaviors showed negative and independent effects on the well-being of young musicians. EDs may be 8 to 16 times more prevalent among the students of music academies who are addicted to studying than among the general population. About 80% of those students showing all seven symptoms of study addiction exhibited at least mild depression, while more than half had clinically significant levels of depression. Almost 90% had clinically significant levels of anxiety. Without addressing co-occurring study addiction and eating disorders, including their commonalities and idiosyncrasies, their prevention and treatment cannot be effective and it will substantially affect the sustainability of education and work.

“…In this paper, it is suggested that narcissism may be a potential risk factor for study addiction. It was recently argued that work and study addiction may be dysfunctional ways of coping with some underlying problems (Atroszko, 2019a, b;Atroszko et al, 2019) similarly to the way other addictions are conceptualized and diagnosed. Previous studies showed an association between work addiction and obsessivecompulsive disorder (OCD), OCPD, depression, anxiety, and ADHD (Andreassen, Griffiths, Sinha, Hetland, & Pallesen, 2016;, which are all positively related to the neurotic aspect of narcissism (Miller et al, 2011).…”

health psychology report • 9 original article background Study addiction has been suggested as a potential early form of work addiction which is recently gaining increasing attention as a potential behavioural addiction. It was suggested that underlying psychological vulnerabilities can be risk factors for study/work addiction. Previous studies indicated that work addiction could be related to narcissistic personality. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the relationship between study addiction and narcissism in the very distinct cultures of Poland and India. participants and procedure In a pen-and-pencil cross-sectional study, the Bergen Study Addiction Scale, Single Item Narcissism Scale, and questions concerning demographics were administered to 1127 undergraduate students in Poland and 292 undergraduate students in India (Karnataka province). results Study addiction was positively related to narcissistic personality among students in Poland, as well as among students in India. This relationship tended to be stronger in the sample from India, which may reflect the cultural differences; however, the difference was not statistically significant. conclusions These initial results suggest that study addiction is positively related to narcissism, and potentially to a narcissistic personality disorder. Narcissism is a complex construct which has been gaining increasing attention in recent years. More sophisticated studies on its relationship with study and work addiction, especially in a cross-cultural context, are highly warranted.

“…Co więcej, pogłębiona analiza związku między wymiarami zaangażowania w uczenie się a uzależnieniem od niego wykazała, że komponent absorpcji był wyraźnie związany z uzależnieniem (P.A. Atroszko, B. Atroszko 2019;Loscalzo, Giannini 2020).…”

W artykule przedstawione zostały związki łączące presję na osiągnięcia szkolne i akademickie, odczuwaną przez uczniów i studentów, z rozwojem uzależnienia od uczenia się, uzależnienia od pracy oraz innych zaburzeń psychicznych i wzrostu częstotliwości występowania zjawisk z obszaru psychopatologii (takich, jak np. samobójstwa). Dokonana została analiza aktualnego stanu wiedzy na temat uzależnienia od pracy oraz uzależnienia od uczenia się, a także omówione zostały podobieństwa i różnice między zaangażowaniem w daną aktywność (pracę lub naukę) a uzależnieniem od tej aktywności. W szczególności przedstawiono teoretyczne i praktyczne znaczenie konceptualizacji problemów pogarszającego się stanu zdrowia psychicznego młodego pokolenia w kategoriach uzależnienia od pracy i uczenia się, a także ich związku z obsesją sukcesu socjoekonomicznego.
