Didactic Lecture:  Identity and Addiction
Peter Burke, Professor and Chair, Sociology  Department, University of California, Riverside,

Ho O Kan  Room,  Mission Inn.                                                                                                                                                     Abstract:  Identity and Addiction 
Identity control theory is a sociological social psychological theory about behavior of individuals as it is used to control perceptions of situational meanings relevant to one’s identity. Perceptions are controlled to bring them into alignment with an identity standard that defines what it means to be who one is. This is the process of self-verification or identity-verification. In the framework of this theory, behavior is seen as a mechanism to control perceptions. The theory suggests that people behave in order to (accomplish a goal) rather than because of (a reward or punishment). In this way, the theory turns traditional behaviorism on its head. By taking this theoretical view, one is led to ask very different questions to understand people’s behavior than those asked under a more traditional Stimulus-Response theory. The address reviews identity control theory and uses it to examine issues relating to drinking and other addictive behavior.
