An exploratory study of the role played by hedonic dysregulation in gambling disorder
No full textResearch has demonstrated that individuals suffering from Gambling Disorder (GD) are characterized by abnormal responses to pleasant stimuli and a proneness to act rashly in response to positive emotions. However, psychological impairments that may explain these results remain unexplored. This study tests the hypothesis that individuals with GD would show impairments in the capacity to appreciate positive emotions. The South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS), the Impulsive Behavior Scale Short Form (UPPS-P) and the Ways of Savoring Checklist (WOSC) were administered to clinical sample (n = 87) and to controls (n = 99). Scores of the clinical sample significantly differed from scores obtained by controls on some subscales of the WOSC (Comparing and Killjoy Thinking) and the UPPS-P. The proneness to act rashly in response to positive emotions and the capacity to appreciate positive emotional states emerged as predictors of GD’s severity. Findings support previous data showing a role played by the emotional facets of impulsivity in GD and suggest that individuals suffering from GD may experience dysfunctions in the capacity to appreciate positive emotions. This study suggests that individuals suffering from GD may fail to normally appreciate positive emotional states because of abnormalities in the savoring capacities
Pathological personality and gambling disorder: An empirical study
No full textBackground: Despite the fact that near 2% of the Italian population suffers from Gambling Disorder (GD), the nature of psychopathological variables accounting for the disorder remains partially unclear. In particular, studies examining the link between pathological personality and GD suffer from important limitations principally due to the use of instrument evaluating adaptive personality traits or being based on a categorical conceptualization of pathological personality. The aim of the present study was to bridge such gaps, investigating the role played by pathological personality traits in a clinical population of addicted gamblers.
Method: A group of addicted gamblers (N=70) and a group of healthy controls (N=105) fulfilled the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS, Lesieur & Blume, 1987) and the Personality Inventory for DSM-V (PID-5; Krueger et al., 2011).
Results: Analyses of variance showed that addicted gamblers scored higher than healthy controls on the five domains of the PID-5 and on some specific personality facets. Moreover, the multiple regression analysis indicated that only the Disinibition domain remained a significant and positive predictor of GD severity whereas the Detachment factor predicted negatively and significantly SOGS’ scores.
Conclusions: Our data supported results of previous studies examining the link between GD and Personality Disorders. Moreover, a dimensional perspective of pathological personality seems promising for the understanding of specific components accounting for the comorbidity between GD and personality disorders
Profiling Gambling Disorder: the role of pathological personality traits
No full textBackground: Despite Gambling Disorder (GD) frequently co-occurs with personality disorders (Dowling et al., 2016), there is still a lack of studies investigating the role of pathological personality traits among addicted gamblers (AG). Indeed, previous research (Brunborg et al., 2016; Myrseth et al., 2009), showing high levels of neuroticism and low levels of Conscientiousness among such population, only measured adaptive facets of personality traits, potentially failing to account for the complexity of this topic.
Method: We administered to a sample of AG (N=75) and a sample of community participants (N= 100) the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS; Lesieur & Blume, 1987) and the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5, Krueger et al., 2011).
Results: Analyses of variance showed that AG scored higher on every personality domains and some facets measured by the PID-5, compared to community participants. Multiple regression analysis, entering the five personality domains of the PID-5 as predictors of SOGS scores, indicated that only Disinibition significantly predicted SOGS scores whereas Detachment negatively predicted GD severity.
Conclusions: Dimensional conceptualization of pathological personality appears a useful framework from which investigate GD. Results supported previous research indicating significant personality impairments among AG (Dowling et al., 2016). Clinical implications and future directions are discusse
