“…Finally, we appreciate Kräplin's [5] comment that children require age-specific diagnoses. This is crucial for behaviours related to children's spare-time activitiessuch as use of mobile phones, social networking sites and video games.…”

“…Moreover, social acceptance of sport as a behavior strongly positive for health (Forrest et al, 2016 ), even for those people with a high risk of becoming addicts (Lichtenstein et al, 2017 ), makes it more difficult to understand that exercise can be an addiction. In any case, although exercise dependence has crossed the boundary of a disorder, exercise addiction is still a controversial concept (Starcevic and Khazaal, 2017 ), an operational definition of behavioral addictions with a number of exclusion criteria (which cover high-level sports) has been recently proposed (Kardefelt-Whinter et al, 2017 ), and there is a need for well-founded discussion in this area (Kräplin, 2017 ; Starcevic, 2016 ). An Open Science Framework (OSF) has been recently created, supporting further development to build a conceptualization of behavioral addictions in a transparent, collaborative and iterative manner (Billieux et al, 2017 ).…”

Exercise Addiction in Practitioners of Endurance Sports: A Literature Review

et al. 2018

Practice of endurance sports/activities has gained most devotees over recent decades, thanks to its capacity to maintain and improve health. However, their characteristics and accessibility have facilitated the emergence of addictive behaviors. Excessive practicing can lead to adverse physical and psychological effects seriously prejudicial to health, to the extent that individuals are unable to control this behavior. Recognizing that exercise addiction is still a controversial concept, the aim of the present review is to analyze the state of research into addictive exercise behaviors, specifically centering on running and endurance sports. To this end, a search covering article written in English and dated from 2010 onward was carried out in the Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science and EBSCOhost databases. Of a total of 2,675 articles in the four databases, 25 were eligible for the final review. The studies reviewed confirmed that excessive practice could encourage the appearance of addictive behaviors and health problems. Most research has reported no age or sex differences in exercise dependence among endurance sport practitioners; however, obsessive passion and dedication to sports activities may be predictors for addiction to exercise. Owing to terminological confusion and the variety of tools used to measure addiction, figures for prevalence differ widely among studies, with values quoted ranging from 3 to 42%. Furthermore, it is clear that there are problems in delimiting, defining and diagnosing this sort of behavior, which has led to addiction to exercise not yet being considered a behavioral disorder.

“…For example, the components model of addiction suggests that both substance and behavioral addictions are characterized by the common components of salience, mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal, conflict and relapse (Griffiths, 2005, 2017), while the syndrome model emphasizes the common pathogenesis of substance and behavioral addictions (Shaffer et al, 2004). Whether conceptualizations emphasize processes or syndrome, it is crucial to ensure that the actual definitions of addiction allow for the heterogeneous expression in populations and are able to distinguish normative from problematic behavior (Colder Carras et al, 2017; Kräplin, 2017; Wakefield, 2015).…”

In response to calls for further research into the phenomenology of Internet gaming disorder (IGD), we used a community-engaged consensus development approach to evaluate how members of the "gamer culture" describe problematic gaming and the relationship of these descriptions to the proposed IGD criteria. Two focus groups of gamers were recruited at a video game convention. Participants were asked to submit suggestions for signs of game "addiction". Participants discussed and ranked the criteria in order of conceptual importance. The rankings were analyzed quantitatively, and then a multidisciplinary team compared the ranked criteria to the DSM-5 IGD proposed criteria. The strongest agreement between participants' rankings and IGD symptomatology was found for harms/functional impairment due to gaming, continued use despite problems, unsuccessful attempts to control gaming, and loss of interest in previous hobbies and entertainment. There was less support for other IGD criteria. Participants also offered new content domains. These findings suggest that collaborative knowledge-building approaches may help researchers and policymakers understand the characteristics and processes specific to problematic video game play and improve content validity of IGD criteria. Future efforts may benefit from multi-stakeholder approaches to refine IGD criteria and inform theory, measurement and intervention.
