Abstract

The co-occurrence between gambling disorder (GD) and problematic pornography use (PPU) has not yet been explored. Therefore, the present study compared (a) sociodemographic variables, (b) GD-related factors, (c) substance use, (d) psychopathology, (e) personality features, (f) impulsivity, and (g) emotion regulation between individuals with GD (GD group) and those with co-occurring GD and PPU (GD+PPU group). The sample consisted of 359 treatment-seeking individuals with GD: n = 332 individuals had GD only (GD group) and n = 37 individuals had GD and co-occurring PPU (GD+PPU group). GD severity, impulsivity, psychopathology, personality, emotion regulation, and other sociodemographic and clinical variables were assessed. No between-group differences in sociodemographic measures were observed. The GD+PPU group demonstrated greater GD severity and a higher likelihood of substance use compared to those without PPU. Furthermore, the presence of PPU was associated with worse psychopathology, higher impulsivity (except for lack of premeditation and positive urgency), more difficulties in emotion regulation (except for non-acceptance of emotions and limited access to emotions), and a personality profile characterized by lower levels of self-directedness and cooperativeness. The co-occurrence of GD and PPU seems associated with a more dysfunctional clinical profile.

了解赌博障碍和有问题的色情制品使用的共存：探索社会人口学和临床因素

摘要

赌博障碍（GD）和有问题的色情内容使用（PPU）之间的共存尚未得到探索。因此，本研究比较了个体之间的（a）社会人口统计学变量、（b）GD相关因素、（c）物质使用、（d）精神病理学、（e）人格特征、（f）冲动性和（g）情绪调节GD组（GD组）以及GD和PPU同时发生的组（GD+PPU组）。样本由 359 名寻求治疗的 GD 个体组成：n = 332 人仅患有 GD（GD 组），n = 37 人患有 GD 并同时发生 PPU（GD+PPU 组）。评估了 GD 的严重程度、冲动性、精神病理学、性格、情绪调节以及其他社会人口学和临床变量。没有观察到社会人口统计学指标的组间差异。与没有 PPU 的组相比，GD+PPU 组表现出更严重的 GD 严重性和更高的物质使用可能性。此外，PPU 的存在与更严重的精神病理学、更高的冲动性（除了缺乏预谋和积极的紧迫感）、更多的情绪调节困难（除了不接受情绪和有限地接触情绪）以及以自我导向性和合作性较低。GD 和 PPU 的同时出现似乎与更功能失调的临床特征相关。
