“…It is speculated that alexithymic individuals attempt to regulate their emotions through compulsive behaviors [2]. In fact, recent research has found elevated levels of alexithymia in individuals with substance use disorders [3, 4, 5]and eating disorders [6, 7, 8]. …”

Background: Pathological gambling is more prevalent among postsecondary students than among the general adult population. While the prevalence of pathological gambling in this group has risen over the past decade, factors underlying the development of problem gambling among university students remain largely unexplored. One early study found alexithymia to be associated with pathological gambling. The aim of the present study was to further examine the relationship between alexithymia and gambling among postsecondary students. Methods: The relationship between alexithymia and pathological gambling was examined in 562 postsecondary students who completed the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) and the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). Results: Approximately 12% of the sample was classified as alexithymic according to the TAS-20. These individuals were found to have significantly more gambling problems, as measured by the SOGS, than nonalexithymic individuals. Approximately 9% of the sample was classified as pathological gamblers according to the SOGS. These individuals were found to have significantly higher levels of alexithymia, as measured by the TAS-20, than nonproblem gamblers. Conclusions: Alexithymia is associated with pathological gambling and may be a risk factor among postsecondary students for developing severe gambling problems.

“…Despite the high heterogeneity, all but one of the studies showed a positive association between alexithymia and substance use (Bulai & Enea, 2016 ). Two clinical studies suggested a very strong positive association and were seen as outliers (Ghorbani et al ., 2017 ; Rasheed, 2001 ). Removing these two studies did not significantly alter the results ( d = 0.54, 95% CI 0.44–0.63, I 2 = 81.4%).…”

“…In addition, several studies have reported a high prevalence of alexithymia among subjects with illicit drug abuse, El Raasheed ( 2001 ) showed that alexithymic heroin addict individuals reported more polysubstance abuse, more opiate use (other than heroin) and more benzodiazepine abuse than non‐alexihymic individuals. In addition, Payer, Lieberman and London ( 2011 ), and Hamidi, Rostami, Farhoodi and Abdolmanafi ( 2010 ) have reported higher levels of alexithymia in heroin dependent individuals compared to the healthy control group.…”

Alexithymia has been associated with substance use, but the magnitude of the association has not been evaluated and sub‐group differences, if any, are unknown. The aim of this meta‐analysis is to systematically review the association between alexithymia and substance use (alcohol or illicit drugs). We identified studies through a systematic review of PubMed and Web of Science and obtained a total of 52 publications using the Toronto Alexithymia Scale‐20 scale. Random effects meta‐analysis was used to evaluate the overall and sub‐group associations. Of the studies, 50 were cross‐sectional and two longitudinal. Alexithymia was associated with any substance use (Cohen’s d = 0.62, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.49–0.76), with little difference between estimates for use of alcohol or illicit drugs. A stronger association was observed for the alexithymia dimension “Difficulty in Identifying Feelings” (d = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.47–0.81) and “Difficulty in Describing Feelings” (d = 0.44, 95% CI = 0.32–0.55) than for “Externally Oriented Thinking” (d = 0.19, 95% CI = 0.09–0.28). The association was stronger in studies with clinical patient populations (d = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.62–1.05) than in those investigating general or student populations, and in studies with a majority of male rather than female participants. These findings suggest a strong overall association between alexithymia and substance use and a very strong association among clinical patient populations. The association may be stronger with the emotion‐related dimensions than with the cognition‐related dimension of alexithymia. As nearly all the studies were cross‐sectional, more longitudinal studies are needed.

The article presents the results of the analysis and evaluation of gold occurrences of the Northern Black Sea and Crimea. The increased gold content of this region is associated primarily with magmatism and volcanism of the paleo<island arc and the Ukrainian crystalline massif. Analysis of the field studies and laboratory results made it possible to determine the main factors of the origin of a gold mineralization. The magmatism of the Crimean Mountains formed both primary ore and alluvial occurrences, which extend in series from the Karadag in the east to Heraclea and the Lomonosov massif. The main source of fine gold placers are the weathering crusts of the Ukrainian shield rocks and secondary products of alluvium repeatedly redeposited in recent times, especially in post<glacial periods, when there was a powerful outflow of unconsolidated sediments. The authors note the decisive role of ancient river systems both in the accumulation of gold<bearing sands and in the formation of a potential source of outflow for the alluvial strata of numerous small rivers. Alluvial sands and alluvial-proluvial cover pebbles of the Beregansky and Sulsky climatoliths are particularly interesting for their gold content. They form clad covers on watersheds and fill the paleo<valleys of large rivers. The authors also studied the role of the Paleo<Dnieper and other main rivers of the Northern Azov Sea region during the melting of glaciers, when huge masses of sandy<silty material, including fine and ultrafine gold, were transported over long distances. Thus, the identification of factors affecting the location, structure and composition of gold deposits is important for determining the prediction criteria of conditions potentially favorable for the formation of gold placers within the Northern Black Sea and Crimea. Data on the gold content of the Black Sea region currently is not sufficient. It is necessary to conduct further research on gold occurrences to determine the scientific and practical interest of this phenomenon. So far, we can state only the presence of gold occurrences, which provides the basis for further research and prospecting.
