“…First, depressive symptoms have been shown to predict urge to gamble among clinical population (Thomsen, Callesen, Linnet, Kringelbach & Moller, ). Also, some authors have recently argued that dysfunctions in positive and negative affectivity are shared features of bipolar disorder and GD, explaining their frequent co‐occurrence (Di Nicola, De Risio, Pettorruso et al ., ). Furthermore, Billieux, Gay, Rochat and Van der Linden () observed, during the conduction of an experimental study, that some dimensions of impulsive characteristics (response inhibition and cognitive control) were partly related to GD due to their interaction with emotional arousal.…”

A number of researches showed high prevalence of personality disorders among addicted gamblers. However, there are still few studies investigating the role of pathological personality facets in Gambling Disorder (GD). Moreover, the nature of the relationship between GD and pathological personality is not clear. We administered to a group of addicted gamblers (N = 79) and a group of healthy participants (N = 101) a battery of self‐report questionnaires encompassing the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS), The Personality Inventory for DSM‐V (PID‐5), the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). Analyses of variance showed that addicted gamblers, compared to healthy participants, scored higher on most of the subscales of the DERS, on the Suppression Dimension of the ERQ and on the five main domains of the PID‐5 whereas they obtained lower scores on the Reappraisal subscale of the ERQ. Moreover, multiple regression analyses indicated that some specific facets of pathological personality, emotion dysregulation and lack of cognitive reappraisal, significantly predict GD's severity. Finally, emotion dysregulation levels and lack of cognitive reappraisal partially mediated the relationship between these and GD's severity. Our results confirmed the central roles played by both pathological personality and deficit in emotion regulation capacities in GD. Specifically, Impulsivity, Lack of Perseverance and Suspiciousness may be important predictors of GD severity. Moreover, emotion dysregulation and lack of adaptive emotion regulation strategies partially explained such relationship. As such, training for emotion regulation abilities appears strategically useful in the treatment of addicted gamblers with pathological personality traits.

“…Additional research is needed to augment previous investigations (e.g., Di Nicola et al, 2014; Kairouz et al, 2012; Martinotti et al, 2006; Quigley et al, 2015) in the exploration of differences between online and non-online student gamblers, particularly with respect to alcohol and illicit substance use, personality temperament, and psychiatric comorbidity.…”

Although research suggests that approximately 1 in 4 college students report having gambled online, few laboratory-based studies have been conducted enlisting online student gamblers. Moreover, it is unclear the extent to which differences in gambling behavior exist between online and non-online student gamblers. The current study examined if online gamblers would play more hands, commit more errors, and wager more credits than non-online student gamblers in a controlled, laboratory environment. Online (n = 19) and non-online (n = 26) student gamblers played video poker in three separate sessions and the number of hands played, errors committed, and credits wagered were recorded. Results showed that online student gamblers played more hands and committed more errors playing video poker than non-online student gamblers. The results from the current study extend previous research by suggesting that online gamblers engage in potentially more deleterious gambling behavior (e.g., playing more hands and committing more errors) than non-online gamblers. Additional research is needed to examine differences in the gambling behavior of online and non-online gamblers in a controlled, laboratory environment.

“…Jugendliche Spieler sind durch ihr impulsives Verhalten besonders gefährdet für die Entwicklung einer Spielsucht und gelten als vulnerable Spieler [15,31]. Komorbide psychiatrische Krankheiten, insbesondere solche, die eine Impulskontrollstörung oder eine Emotionsregulationsstörung aufweisen, sind ebenfalls häufig im Zusammenhang mit der Spielstörung beobachtet worden [32][33][34][35].…”

ZusammenfassungGestörtes Glückspielen ist eine Verhaltenssucht, welche in der fünften Auflage des diagnostischen und statistischen Leitfadens psychischer Störungen (DSM-5) neu als Abhängigkeitserkrankung klassifiziert worden ist. Das Internet erleichtert die Zugänglichkeit zu Glücksspielen, erweitert das Angebot an Spielmöglichkeiten und führt zu neuen Herausforderungen in der Prävention 1, 2. In der folgenden Übersichtsarbeit werden die unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften zwischen traditionellen Glücksspielern und Internet-Glücksspielern sowie die Risikofaktoren zur Entwicklung einer Glücksspielsucht aufgezeigt. Mögliche Präventionsstrategien und bisherige Behandlungskonzepte mit ihrer Wirksamkeit werden vorgestellt. Wir fokussieren uns auf die Situation in der Schweiz im Hinblick auf die aktuellen politischen Ereignisse mit dem neuen Geldspielgesetz.
