Introduction: High sensory processing sensitivity in the face of psychological pressures predisposes individuals to substance craving, while resilience, as a protective factor, plays a role in reducing this vulnerability. The present study aimed to examine the structural relationship between sensory processing sensitivity and substance craving with the mediating role of resilience among substance-addicted prisoners.
Methods: The study population included all substance-dependent clients in the Delijan Prison in 2022. A convenience sample of 200 participants was selected based on the research constructs. Data collection tools included the Aron and Aron Sensory Processing Sensitivity Questionnaire (1997), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003), and the Salehi Fardhadi, Berefan, and Ziaei Substance Use Cravings Questionnaire (2008). Structural equation modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS version 2 and SPSS version 19 was employed to test the hypotheses.
Results: The results of the study indicated that the proposed model exhibited a good fit to the data, and high sensory processing sensitivity was directly and indirectly (through resilience) associated with an increased risk of substance craving in addicted individuals (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate that sensory processing sensitivity and resilience play a significant role in substance craving in addicted individuals. Overall, the results of this study emphasize the importance of considering cognitive-emotional factors in the design and implementation of treatment and prevention programs for addiction, as well as in reducing the risk of substance craving.
