Abstract Impulsivity is a multidimensional construct. Although gambling disorder (GD) has been associated with high impulsivity, impulsivity across multiple domains not thoroughly investigated in this population. We first aimed to examine whether associations between three facets of (response choice and impulsive tendency) varied GD patients healthy controls (HC). next evaluate relationships these types as proposed by theoretical models their severity. The sample included 97...
Impulsivity and cognitive distortions are hallmarks of gambling disorder (GD) but it remains unclear how they contribute to clinical phenotypes. This study aimed (1) compare impulsive traits gambling-related in strategic versus non-strategic gamblers online offline gamblers; (2) examine the longitudinal association between impulsivity/cognitive treatment retention relapse. Participants seeking for GD (n = 245) were assessed modality (clinical interview), (Urgency, Premeditation, Perseverance...
Abstract Significant increasing prevalences have been observed in gambling disorder (GD) the last decades. This study analyzed underlying mechanisms of severity with path analysis (implemented through Structural Equation Modeling, SEM), and assessed potential moderator effect patients’ sex. A sample n = 512 treatment-seeking patients was for sociodemographics clinical state previously to treatment. Results obtained two separate SEM (for men women) revealed differences direct effects...
Gambling disorder (GD) presents high rates of suicidality. The combined influences emotion dysregulation and trait impulsivity are crucially important (albeit understudied) for developing strategies to treat GD prevent suicide attempts. aim this study is investigate the association between impulsivity, dysregulation, dispositional use regulation (ER) with suicidal ideation psychopathological symptom severity in GD.
DSM-5 proposed a new operational system by using the number of fulfilled criteria as an indicator gambling disorder severity. This method has proven to be controversial among researchers and clinicians alike, due lack studies indicating whether severity, measured these criteria, is clinically relevant in terms treatment outcome. Additionally, numerous have highlighted associations between impulsivity, though few examined impact impulsivity on long-term outcomes.In this study, we aimed assess...
Background. Gambling disorder (GD) is a heterogeneous which has clinical manifestations that vary according to variables in each individual. Considering the importance of application specific therapeutic interventions, it essential obtain classifications based on differentiated phenotypes for patients diagnosed with GD. Objectives. To identify gambling profiles large sample n=2,570 seeking treatment Methods. An agglomerative hierarchical clustering method defining combination Schwarz...
Background The prevalence of gambling disorder (GD) in women has increased, but, to date, few studies have explored the features clinical GD subtypes female samples. Aims aim this study is identify empirical clusters based on clinical/sociodemographic variables a sample treatment-seeking with GD. Methods Agglomerative hierarchical clustering was applied n = 280 patients, using sociodemographic variables, psychopathology, and personality traits as indicators for grouping procedure. Results...
Introduction: Impairments in emotion regulation are understood to be a transdiagnostic risk factor of suffering from compulsive and addictive behaviors.

Methods: sample included n=484 patients seeking treatment for at specialized outpatient service. Main outcomes were socio-demographic variables, severity. Results: Differences between sexes...
Objectives: Although emotion regulation deficits have been implicated in gambling disorder and ADHD, the interplay between these factors has yet to be systematically studied. We examined relationships ADHD symptoms, regulation, severity a sample of treatment-seeking patients ( n = 98). also clinical differences with without symptomatology. Method: Structural equation modeling (SEM) evaluated direct indirect effects on severity. Results: Significant correlations symptomatology were...
The significant increase in the prevalence of gambling disorder (GD) among young adults recent years has attracted interest determining therapeutic efficiency this sector population. aim work was to estimate response trajectories severity during six-month follow-up after a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program adult patients and identify main variables associated with each trajectory. sample included n = 192 patients, aged 19-35 old, seeking treatment for GD. Response were identified...
Background and aims Pathological buying (PB) is a behavioral addiction that presents comorbidity with several psychiatric disorders. Despite the increase in prevalence estimates of PB, relatively few PB instruments have been developed.

Both received 16 weekly sessions and, concurrently, only experimental 15...
