“…Several models identify cognitive biases as a target of therapeutic approaches (Chrétien, Giroux, Goulet, Jacques, & Bouchard, 2017), and their biological bases are now subject to intense scrutiny (Clark, 2017). The particularity of the GSM model regarding these cognitive distortions is formulating them as resulting from elaborated emotion regulation mechanisms, in line with the motivated reasoning hypothesis (Kunda, 1990).…”

“…Currently, there is no empirically validated treatment program available for adolescent problem gamblers worldwide; 58 however, there have been reported successes with cognitive-behavioral-based programs, 59 , 60 since cognitive distortions associated with gambling are a powerful predictor of gambling severity in adolescents, 61 although cognitive restructuring apparently has not yet been adapted to address the maladaptive cognitions implicit in skill game players. 62 The paucity of data on pharmacological interventions is disconcerting, since there are no studies investigating the safety and efficacy of pharmacological treatments for pathological gambling in adolescents. 63 A major hurdle is that adolescent problem gamblers are very reluctant to seek treatment or formal assistance, 59 , 64 greatly limiting the number of those seeking specific help in a specialized treatment facility at any point in time.…”

Research on adolescence gambling over the past twenty years has revealed significant incidence and prevalence rates and highlighted the possible negative effects on an adolescent’s well-being. Several risk and protective factors have also been identified. Over the course of the past few years, technological advances have heralded the advent of new avenues for gambling as well as new opportunities to gamble without any direct monetary exchange. This review article examines those established trends as well as the new issues that we are faced with, in order to accurately portray the current challenges in research, prevention, and treatment.

“…Likewise, they may believe that a win is necessarily due after a series of loses (gambler's fallacy or near-miss effect [unsuccessful outcome is proximal to a win]). The frequency and intensity of the gambling severity and the continuation of the gambling activity is even justified by gamblers, arguing that they are learning and developing the required skills/abilities to win (Chr etien, Giroux, Goulet, Jacques, & Bouchard, 2017;Emond & Marmurek, 2010;Kov acs, Richman, Janka, Maraz, & Ando, 2017;Leonard & Williams, 2016). At a psychological level, it has been postulated that these cognitive distortions related to the gambling severity could be explained by three main mechanisms.…”

Background and aimsDue to the contribution of age to the etiology of gambling disorder (GD), there is a need to assess the moderator effect of the aging process with other features that are highly related with the clinical profile. The objective of this study is to examine the role of the chronological age into the relationships between cognitive biases, impulsivity levels and gambling preference with the GD profile during adulthood.MethodsSample included n = 209 patients aged 18–77 years-old recruited from a Pathological Gambling Outpatients Unit. Orthogonal contrasts explored polynomial patterns in data, and path analysis implemented through structural equation modeling assessed the underlying mechanisms between the study variables.ResultsCompared to middle-age patients, younger and older age groups reported more impairing irrational beliefs (P = 0.005 for interpretative control and P = 0.043 for interpretative bias). A linear trend showed that as people get older sensation seeking (P = 0.006) and inability to stop gambling (P = 0.018) increase. Path analysis showed a direct effect between the cognitive bias and measures of gambling severity (standardized effects [SE] between 0.12 and 0.17) and a direct effect between impulsivity levels and cumulated debts due to gambling (SE = 0.22).ConclusionScreening tools and intervention plans should consider the aging process. Specific programs should be developed for younger and older age groups, since these are highly vulnerable to the consequences of gambling activities and impairment levels of impulsivity and cognitive biases.
