Aim: The aim of this research was to predict life quality based on behavioral
activator and inhibitor systems and adulthood hyperactivity in male drug
abusers. Method: A correlational method was employed. The statistical
population consisted of 1637 drug abusers residing in the Alborz province,
Iran. 232 drug abusers were selected based on Krejces & Morgan’s table
(1970). Participants completed the following questionnaires: The World
Health Organization’s Quality of Life (WHOQOL) Questionnaire
(Varsharbun, 1998); Conner's (1999) List of the Symptoms of Adulthood
ADHD Indicator and the Behavioral Activator and Brain inhibitor System
Questionnaire (Carver and White, 1994). Data was analyzed using the
structural equation-modeling test. Findings: Findings showed that the
indirect path coefficients between life quality and components of behavioral
activator system (β=-0.292, P=0.01) and adulthood (β= -0.584, P=0.001)
were negative. Changes of scores of behavioral-brain system explained 22%
of adulthood hyperactivity variance and explained 47% of life quality
variance along with changes of ADHD in adulthood. Conclusion: This
research shows that adulthood hyperactivity has negative effects on the
relationship between behavioral activator system and life quality. Therefore,
it can be argued that hyperactivity has negative and destructive effects on
personal and social affairs of male drug abuse. We suggest that some
workshops should be held to improve the quality of life and decrease the
dangerous behaviors in individuals with hyperactivity disorder in order to
solve conflicts and improve interpersonal relationships.
