“…Self-directedness is characterized by possessing an external locus of control and, therefore, encountering more difficulties in planning, decision-making and achieving goals ( 56 ). This finding is consistent with other studies highlighting low levels of self-directedness across psychiatric disorders ( 73 – 75 ). Contrary to our hypothesis, no differences were found in substance use/abuse prevalence between GD patients who did and did not report committing gambling-related crimes.…”

Gambling disorder (GD) is a psychiatric condition that was recently recategorized as a non-substance-related addiction in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders. Criminal activity is commonly associated with gambling; however, few empirical studies to date have examined sociodemographic and psychological variables in this population. In this study, we explored criminal behavior history in a sample of consecutively recruited treatment-seeking gamblers (n = 382) and compared subjects with a history of illegal acts (n = 103, 26.9%) to those with no criminal record (n = 279, 73.1%). Impulsivity and personality traits were specifically explored, along with other gambling-related severity factors. We found that gamblers who engaged in illegal activity were more likely to endorse high levels of urgency (i.e., the tendency to act out when experiencing heightened emotional states) and increased lack of premeditation. Gamblers with a history of criminal behavior also had greater GD severity levels and gambling-related debts. Additionally, these gamblers reported lower levels of self-directedness, which is characterized by difficulty in establishing and redirecting behavior toward one’s goals. Likewise, gamblers who had conducted criminal acts showed a tendency to engage in greater risk-taking behavior. These results shed new light on this understudied population and provide insights for developing targeted harm-prevention interventions and treatment protocols.

“…These results could indicate that women who met this condition could be more predisposed to seeking greater approval and to expressing more difficulties in coping with troubles or stressful situations, while men would be more goal-oriented, effective and self-confident. In addition, for the CB group, longer duration of the disorder was associated with higher persistence, self-directedness, and self-transcendence, which seems consistent with observations in previous studies ( 50 , 51 ). Given our lack of females in the SA group, it is not possible to make associations between personality dimensions and sex in patients with this behavioral addiction.…”

Background and aims: Increases in the prevalence of behavioral addictions worldwide have led to a growth in the etiological research of the specific contribution of risk/protective factors to these disorders. The objective of this study was to assess the relative role of patients' sex, age of disorder onset and disorder duration on the clinical profile of behavioral addictions.Methods: Our sample included treatment-seeking patients diagnosed with gambling disorder (GD, n = 3,174), internet gambling disorder (IGD, n = 45), compulsive buying (CB, n = 113), and sex addiction (SA, n = 34).Results: The pattern of associations between the independent variables and the outcomes were strongly related to the behavioral addiction subtype: (a) for GD-men early onset of the disorder was related to GD severity, while for GD-women early onset was linked to novelty seeking; (b) for IGD-men, late onset correlated with addiction severity, worse psychopathological state, and high harm avoidance and self-transcendence levels; (c) for CB-women, early onset was related to higher reward-dependence scores and lower self-transcendence levels, and longer duration predicted higher cumulate debts; for CB-men, early onset and long duration correlated with high scores in harm-avoidance, self-directedness, self-transcendence, and cooperativeness; and (d) for SA-men, late onset and longer duration correlated with high disorder severity.Discussion and Conclusions: These findings are relevant for developing prevention and treatment programs specific to different behavioral addictions.

“…At present, an integrative model for describing the underlying mechanisms which lead to the onset and development of the CBB is not available. Additional empirical evidence is needed to identify core contrasting factors so as to clarify whether CBB represents a distinct psychiatric entity or is better conceptualized as an epiphenomenon of other psychiatric disorders characterized by addictive and/or impulse control behaviours (Granero et al, 2016).…”

Two different inventories were administrated to 243 university students via online. Big-Five Personality Questionnaire and Compulsive Online Shopping Behaviour were used. This test apparatus indicates five different personality dimensions such as extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, intellect imagination. The compulsive online shopping behaviour was applied to get data on online shopping.
