Surfen, Sucht und Kontrollverlust: Zwischen Flow und Zwang

Wir definieren Sucht präzise: Neurobiologische Mechanismen mit
Dopamin, Adrenalin und Cortisol im Zentrum, ergänzt durch das
Komponentenmodell – und seine direkte Anwendung auf Surfer.
Welche Persönlichkeitstypen – Thrill-Seeker, Perfektionisten,
Risikobereite – ziehen es zum Surfen, und bergen sie ein erhöhtes
Risiko für andere Süchte sowie Substanzabusus?
