Article Review on Process Addiction – Students will review a professional article (no webpages* or magazine articles) on a process addition. A process addiction is also called a non-substance-related addiction or behavioral addiction and it includes a compulsion to repeatedly engage in an action until it causes serious negative consequences to the person’s physical, mental, social, and/or financial well-being. One sign that a behavior has become addictive is if it persists despite these consequences. Examples include but are not limited to:
gambling, sex, shopping, internet, overeating, body modification (tattoos, piercings, etc), videogames, and others
*Note: internet sources that are based upon professional print sources are acceptable for the review. Non-professional and unverified websites are not acceptable. The paper must be at least a full page long (not including cover) and provide the reference for the article, double-spaced, New Times Roman 12-pt font, and APA format (see item #2 above).
