“…This finding is in accordance with recent data published by Dannon, Shoenfeld, Rosenberg, Kertzman and Kotler (2010) indicating that PGs were no more impulsive than HCs, or even less impulsive in some instances. Overall, an increasing number of authors currently suggests the existence of different subtypes of pathological gambling (Alvarez-Moya et al, 2010;Blaszczynski & Nower, 2002;Shead, Callan and Hodgins, 2008). Our PG sample best resembles the conditioned or emotionally vulnerable problem gamblers as defined by Blaszczynski and Nower (2002) or type IV or high-functioning problem gamblers described by Alvarez-Moya et al (2010).…”

Backgrounds and aims: Pathological gambling, a common psychiatric disorder, has many similarities with substance use disorders. Relapse, an important element in addictive disorders, however, has seldom been studied in pathological gambling. Hence, in analogy with previous research studies examining the role of self-report and neurocognitive measures on relapse in substance dependent patients, the present pilot study was executed. Methods: Twenty-two pathological gamblers and 31 healthy controls took part in this research. They filled in self-report questionnaires measuring impulsive personality (Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, Sensitivity to Punishment and Sensitivity to Reward Questionnaires) and performed neurocognitive tasks measuring impulsivity, decision-making and attentional bias (Iowa Gambling Task, Delay Discounting Task, Stroop Gambling Task). Twelve months later gambling activity was re-examined. Results: Analyses showed that PGs who relapsed (n = 13) did not differ on self-report and neurocognitive measures of impulsivity with PGs who did not relapse (n = 9). However, both groups did differ in age at onset. Finally, healthy controls and PGs differed in some (Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, Stroop Gambling Task), but not all impulsivity measures (Delay Discounting Task, Iowa Gambling Task, Sensitivity to Punishment and Sensitivity to Reward Questionnaires). Conclusions: One-year relapse in pathological gamblers is not predicted by self-report and or neurocognitive measures of impulsivity and decision-making. The similarities in performances between pathological gamblers and healthy controls illustrate the relative health of the examined pathological gamblers. This last finding supports the idea that subtypes of pathological gamblers exist so that different treatment strategies might be necessary.

“…Las dificultades de la regulación emocional están relacionadas con las dificultades de control emocional (Gratz y Roemer, 2004) y se ha puesto de manifiesto que las personas con problemas de juego utilizan esta conducta como primera estrategia de regulación emocional (Korman y cols., 2008). Se puede apreciar una relación entre el juego y la expectativa de conseguir estados anímicos positivos o aliviar estados anímicos negativos (Shead, Callan y Hodgins, 2008) y se han observado dificultades en la regulación emocional en personas adultas que están en tratamiento por problemas de juego patológico (Williams y cols., 2012).…”

resumen introducción: El juego patológico implica un comportamiento problemático, persistente y recurrente de juego con importantes pérdidas de dinero, que expone a la persona a consecuencias negativas en el plano social, profesional e individual. En el juego patológico existen una serie de factores implicados como factores predisponentes y variables relacionadas. El presente trabajo analiza la relación de las variables de regulación emocional e impulsividad con los trastornos del juego. método: Se llevó a cabo un estudio exploratorio con 12 pacientes que pertenecían a la asociación pAtim (Asociación para la Intervención e Integración en Adicciones y Otras Conductas). Todos los participantes complementaron un cuestionario de screening de adicción al juego, la escala de dificultades en la regulación emocional (ders) y la escala de impulsividad de Barratt (Biss-11). resultados: Se observaron puntuaciones por encima de la puntuación normativa en la variable de regulación emocional, tanto en la puntuación total como en las subescalas. Sin embargo, en la impulsividad, las puntuaciones se encontraban por debajo de la puntuación normativa. Por último, los resultados del focus group muestran la repercusión de las emociones en dicha adicción comportamental. Conclusiones: El presente estudio revela que las dificultades en la regulación emocional tienen una importancia en el juego patológico. Por el contrario, en la impulsividad, no se encuentran medidas superiores a la puntuación de corte en población normal en la muestra de juego patológico del estudio. Finalmente, la relevancia del manejo de las emociones nos sugiere la importancia del desarrollo de estrategias de regulación emocional como propuesta de tratamiento. palabras clave: juego patológico, factores predisponentes, variables relacionadas, regulación emocional e impulsividad. Abstract introduction: Gambling disorder implies a problematic, persistent and recurrent gaming behaviour, and significant losses of money, which expose a person to negative consequences in social, professional and individual terms. A series of elements involved as predisposed factors and related variables exist in gambling disorders. This study analysed the emotional regulation and impulsivity variables related to gambling behaviour. method: An exploratory study with 12 patients who belong to the pAtim Association (Association for Intervening and Integrating Addictions and Other Behaviours) was carried out. The participants completed a questionnaire for screening addiction to gaming, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (ders) and the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (Biss-11). results: Scores went above the normative score for the emotional regulation variable for both the total score and subscales. However for impulsiveness, scores were below the standard score. The Focus Group results showed the impact of emotions on such behaviour. Conclusions: The present study reveals that emotional regulation difficulties are very important in pathological gambling. Conversely with impulsivity, no...
