Examining the dualistic model of passion in addiction recovery
No full textIntroduction: Addiction recovery can be conceptualized as multidimensional changes to health and wellness including changes in substance use, physical and mental health, and social relationships. These outcomes are often measured through recovery capital which recognizes the various resources, both internal and external, that one may use to enhance their recovery. Internal and external resources can also be accumulated by engaging in an activity an individual is passionate about, explained by the dualistic model of passion (DMP) as enhancing mental and spiritual well-being, health, and personal growth, thereby fostering positive emotions, community involvement, deeper relationships, and heightened performance across various life domains. Evidence indicates that both RC and the DMP contribute to improved health outcomes including life satisfaction and well-being; however, the DMP has not yet been applied to addiction recovery science. The current study aimed to contribute to the growing body of research on addiction recovery by exploring the way passion may influence recovery outcomes. Further, the study investigated how the differences in passion type [e.g., harmonious (HP) and obsessive (OP)] impacted RC. Methods: Participants for the study (N = 346; Mage = 42.1; 53.2% Male) included individuals who self-reported being in recovery from alcohol and/or drugs and completed an online survey through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk platform. Results: A significant bivariate correlation was found between HP and RC (r = 0.42, p < 0.001), and mean comparisons showed significant differences for individuals endorsing HP as they scored higher on a measure of RC (M = 4.69) than did their peers endorsing OP (M = 4.26). Finally, a regression analysis found that HP predicted RC (B = 0.19, p < 0.001), even when time in recovery and mental health variables such as depression and anxiety were included in the model. Discussion: This study offers novel evidence for an association between the DMP and recovery outcomes warranting future research
Evaluation of Relay Graduate School of Education’s Alternative Certification Program and Associated Student and Teacher Outcomes in Texas
No full textThis study evaluates the effectiveness of the Relay Graduate School of Education’s (GSE) residency-based alternative certification program in Texas, focusing on student achievement and teacher retention. Using a value-added empirical framework, we compare Relay-trained teachers to a matched group of educators from 25 similar preparation programs based on teacher demographics, school contexts, and student characteristics. Key findings indicate that students with Relay-trained teachers achieve higher gains in math and reading compared to peers taught by educators from other alternative programs. Additionally, Relay-trained teachers demonstrate lower attrition rates, particularly in the first, fourth, and fifth years of teaching. Lastly, students taught by Relay-trained teachers experience a 30% reduction in suspension rates. These findings reinforce the benefits of residency-based alternative certification programs, which provide structured, practice-based training before teachers take on full-time roles.
