Abstract
Across three studies, we tested the possible benefits of self-discontinuity among people engaging in addictive behaviors. Specially, we examined self-discontinuity as a motivator of readiness to change. Moreover, nostalgia (i.e., longing for the past “nonaddicted” self) was assessed as a mediator of this effect. To this end, self-discontinuity was both measured (Study 1) and manipulated (Studies 2 and 3) among a sample of problem gamblers (Studies 1 and 2) and problem drinkers (Study 3). As predicted, in Studies 1 and 2, high levels of self-discontinuity resulted in greater readiness to change to the extent that problem gamblers felt nostalgic for the preaddicted self. Study 3 extended the generalizability of the mediation model by replicating these findings with a sample of problem drinkers. Results suggest that highlighting a sense of self-discontinuity among people engaging in addictive behaviors may be an important catalyst in moving people from addiction to action.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
