Introduction: Drug addiction is one of the most important problems of today's age, which has involved many young people in all societies with associated with negative consequences such as anxiety, depression, poor quality of life, and poor mental health, Therefore, purpose of this research was to evaluate the mediating role of social adequacy in the relationship between brain-behavioral systems and readiness for addiction. Materials and Methods: The present study was a correlational and structural equation type study and a statistical population of all undergraduate students of Mohaghegh Ardabili University in the academic year 2022-2023. 300 male and female students were selected by the available sampling method. Carver & White’s (1994) Brain-Behavioral Systems Questionnaire, Weed, Butcher, McKenna & Ben-Porath (1992) Addiction Readiness Questionnaire, and Flener & Lease’s Social Competence Questionnaire (1990) were used. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis) and inferential statistics (correlation and path analysis) were used. Results: Our study revealed the direct effect of behavioral inhibition variables on readiness for addiction (T=-07.6 and P<0.001) and social adequacy (T=72.4 and P<0.001). Furthermore, behavioral activation exerted a significant effect on readiness for addiction (T=61.4 and P<0.001) and social adequacy (T=-52.3 and P<0.001). Social adequacy had a significant effect on readiness for addiction (T=-7.86 and P<0.001). According to the amount obtained for the VAF statistic, 26.7% of the effect of behavior inhibition and 26.2% of the effect of behavior activation on readiness for addiction can be explained through social adequacy. Conclusion: Therefore, due to the high prevalence of addiction, it is necessary to investigate the level of readiness for addiction and the factors affecting it, including the behavioral brain systems and social adequacy to deal with the prevalence of addiction.
