Abstract

Aims. The present study seeks to replicate and expand findings from earlier studies that pathological gamblers manifest elevated traits of impulsivity. Secondly, the study aims to elucidate the relationship between impulsivity, indices reflecting severity of pathological gambling and other measures of psychopathology and personality dysfunction. Design. Case series. Participants. Eighty‐two consecutive gamblers seeking treatment for problem gambling. Setting. Impulse Disorders Research Unit, School of Psychiatry, University of New South Wales, Australia. Measurements. Semi‐structured interview designed to obtain demographic information and gambling history, the South Oaks Gambling Screen, the Eysenck Impulsivity Scale, the Personality Disorder Questionnaire‐Revised, the Beck Depression Inventory and the Beck Anxiety Inventory. Findings. Results show elevated traits of impulsivity among clinic samples of pathological gamblers compared to normative data and show that impulsivity is related to the severity of gambling behaviour as measured by the South Oaks Gambling Questionnaire. A principal component analysis of the Eysenck Impulsivity Scale and the Personality Disorder Questionnaire‐Revised, demonstrated that the concept of the "antisocial‐impulsivist" identified by Blaszczynski, Steel & McConaghy (1997) is not only characterized by impulsivity and antisocial personality disorder but also by high loadings from other cluster B and cluster C personality disorders. Conclusion. This research supports the role of the construct of impulsivity in mediating the severity of gambling behaviour and associated behavioural and psychological disturbance among pathological gamblers presenting for treatment. Impulsivity is best understood as part of a general personality disorder structure characterized primarily by DSM‐III‐R Axis II cluster B and some cluster C personality disorders.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
