This study tested an affective events theory (AET) model in the Oxford House network of recovery homes. Residents' congruence with their home (P-E fit) was hypothesized to directly influence behavior that supported house and other residents-citizenship behavior. We further P-E fit would be related member intentions leave, attitudes toward mediating relationship. To assess this, we administered a cross-sectional national survey 296 residents 83 randomly selected Houses. Although AET...
Research has shown employment to be a central mediator sustained recovery and community reentry for substance abusers; however, heroin users have lower rates report mean incomes than other drug users. The authors of the present study assessed income-generating behaviors recruited from abuse treatment facilities (N = 247). Heroin had higher illegal sources. Further, logistic regression analysis found use increase likelihood engagement in income generating behaviors. As these results...
Given the rates of reincarceration in U.S., it is important to understand criminal justice risk and protective factors. Hope a potentially factor with two components-agency (goal-directed determination) pathways (planning meet goals) (Snyder et al., 1991). We conducted secondary data analysis (n = 45) longitudinal survey mutual-help recovery home residents.
