“…As a result, a quick response is produced to temporarily solve emotional problems when confronted with unpleasant situations. This manifests in clinical populations as compensatory and harmful behaviors in the form of drug use and various disorders (especially gambling) and in nonclinical populations as addictive behavioral tendencies aiming at gaining pleasure and relieving distress quickly (39). Self-differentiation had a direct association with addictive tendencies, which conforms to the findings of previous research (15).…”

Background and aims: Cognitive emotion regulation strategies enhance students’ ability to handle emotional and stressful situations and lead to resilient behavior and suitable behavioral performance. The present study aimed to investigate the association of addiction tendency with distress tolerance, self-differentiation, and emotion regulation difficulties mediated by resilience in university students. Methods: This was a descriptive-correlational study using structural equation modeling (SEM). Cluster sampling was used to enroll 314 individuals among all students at the Islamic Azad University of Tehran in the academic year 2020-2021. The research instruments included the Shorter PROMIS Questionnaire (SPQ), the Distress Tolerance Scale-Short Form (DTS-SF), the Self-Other Differentiation Scale (SODS), the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Data were analyzed by the SEM method using SPSS-26 and SmartPLS. Results: The results showed that distress tolerance (β=0.25, P<0.001) and emotion regulation difficulties (β=0.35, P<0.001) had a significant direct association with resilience. In addition, distress tolerance (β=0.14, P<0.001), self-differentiation (β=0.25, P<0.001), emotion regulation difficulties (β=0.27, P<0.001), and resilience (β=0.22, P<0.001) had a significant direct relationship with addictive tendencies. Moreover, resilience mediated the association of distress tolerance and emotion regulation difficulties with addictive tendencies in college students. Conclusion: The proposed model had the desired fitting based on the results. It is a great step toward understanding factors associated with addiction tendencies in university students. Furthermore, it is an appropriate model, according to which various programs can be developed and designed to prevent addiction tendencies among university students.

“…More specific to this study, this specifically related to mental and behavioural disengagement, as well as denial, but not acceptance (Leandro & Castillo, 2010). Regarding behavioural addictions, whilst many studies have been conducted on coping in various conditions (e.g., Calado, Alexandre, & Griffiths, 2017;Cavicchioli, Vassena;Movalli, & Maffei, 2018;Estévez et al, 2020;Estevez, Jauregui, & Lopez-Gonzalez, 2019;Hasan & Jaber, 2019;Lei, Cheong, Li, & Lu, 2018;Otero-López & Villardefrancos, 2014;Servidio, Gentile, & Boca, 2018;Shepherd & Dickerson, 2001), nuanced by their choice of coping measure, many studies have taken broad approaches (e.g., focus on problem/emotion/avoidance-focused coping) as opposed to investigating specific coping techniques. General trends from these studies point towards overuse of emotion and avoidance-focused and underuse of problem-focused coping strategies.…”

Research on general coping is limited within compulsive buying (CB) literature.Nevertheless, other behavioural addictions and hoarding might provide insights into coping in CB. One-hundred and ninety-nine participants (M age ¼ 52.72, SD ¼ 16.06; 50.3% female, 1% unknown sex) completed online questionnaires.Mental and behavioural disengagements were hypothesized to predict greater selfreported CB tendency. Whilst these relationships were found in the correlations, a regression analysis indicated that only mental disengagement significantly predicted CB tendency. Additionally, the exploration of denial and substance use identified that denial was an important predictor of CB tendency coping. The relationship between CB tendency and substance use could not be explored given the large degree of participants reporting minimal scores. CB tendency is associated with maladaptive mental disengagement, denial and lack of acceptance coping strategies, which could be useful to consider in therapy.

“…Perhaps playing is much more important than winning for gamblers, as for them the game is a trigger, and it is difficult to stop the process. This is perhaps a similar mechanism to the one in alcoholics, thus gaming for gamblers is the same as an alcoholic going on a drinking binge (Cavicchioli et al, 2018).…”

Evaluation of Risk Behavior in Gambling Addicted and Opioid Addicted Individuals

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Evidence suggests that both opioid addicted and gambling addicted individuals are characterized by higher levels of risky behavior in comparison to healthy people. It has been shown that the administration of substitution drugs can reduce cravings for opioids and the risky decisions made by individuals addicted to opioids. Although it is suggested that the neurobiological foundations of addiction are similar, it is possible that risk behaviors in opioid addicts may differ in detail from those addicted to gambling. The aim of this work was to compare the level of risk behavior in individuals addicted to opioid, with that of individuals addicted to gambling, using the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). The score and response time during the task were measured. It was also observed, in the basis of the whole IGT test, that individuals addicted to gambling make riskier decisions in comparison to healthy individuals from the control group but less riskier decisions in comparison to individuals addicted to opioids, before administration of methadone and without any statistically significant difference after administration of methadone—as there has been growing evidence that methadone administration is strongly associated with a significant decrease in risky behavior.
