Glue sniffing: a comparison study of sniffers and non-sniffers

P. JANSEN, L. M. RICHTER AND R. D. GRIESEL A
study of 22 glue sniffers and 22 non-sniffers was carried out with individuals from the same reference
group. The subjects were all street children living in supervised shelters. No statistically significant
differences were found between the sniffers and non-sniffers on cognitive measures or biographical
features (e.g. time spent at school, years on the street). When rated by shelter staff on a modified
version of the Christiansen Rating Scale (1967) the sniffers were perceived to be significantly more
disturbed in their relationships with others, however, methodological issues do not permit conclusive
evidence of behavioural differences to be drawn. The authors conclude that the findings lend support
for the view that the effects of volatile substance abuse on cognitive and personality functioning
cannot be clearly demonstrated.

Research Themes

: Glue Sniffing, a comparison study of Sniffers and Non Sniffers

Research Question

: How is the effects of Glue Sniffing Behavior in Daily Behavior ?

Research Objective

: The aim of the study was to compare glue sniffers with nonsniffers in
order to determine whether cognitive or biographical differences or
perceived differences in daily behaviour could be found between them.

The association between the use of social network sites, sleep qualityand cognitive
function during the day

Previous studies have suggested that excessive use of the internet can affect the daily cognitive functioning of users. Furthermore, it has been argued that excessive users of the internet could
demonstrate addiction behaviour patterns. Social network sites (SNS) are currently one of the most
popular appli-cations of internet use and have almost one billion active users. Studies which examined
the dependenceon the use of internet have found significant association with sleep deprivation. This
study examinedassociations between questionnaire measures of SNS use, sleep quality and everyday
cognitive failures in324 users of SNS. The sample ranged from 18 to 58 years old and was drawn
from 29.6% males and 70.4%females from diverse countries and educational backgrounds.
Additionally, behaviours indicating po-tential dependence on SNS were examined with a newdeveloped questionnaire. Results indicated thatincreased dependence on SNS was correlated with
decreased sleep quality and with increased everyday cognitive failures. The correlation of SNS use
with cognitive failures was mediated by sleep quality.Finally, the final nine items of the new
developed questionnaire indicated Withdrawal and Compulsionas two distinct but correlated aspects
of possible dependence on SNS
Research Themes

cognitive function during the day

Research Question

: How the use of SNS, affect sleep quality and cognitive

function during the day ?

Research Objective

: The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between dependence
on SNS, sleep quality and frequency of everyday cognitive failures
