Abstract

Background/objective

Emotional dysregulation (ED) is a transdiagnostic variable underlying various psychiatric disorders, including addictive behaviors (ABs). This meta-analysis examines the relationship between ED and ABs (alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, gambling, and gaming), and indicators of AB engagement (frequency, quantity/time of use, severity, and problems).

Method

Searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, WoS, and PsycINFO. Five separate meta-analysis were run using random-effects models. Moderators (age, sex, continental region, and sample type; community vs. clinical), and publication bias were evaluated.

Results

A total of 189 studies (N = 78,733; 51.29 % women) were identified. ED was significantly related to all ABs. Problems and severity indicators exhibited the largest effects (r’s .118-.372, all p <.023). There were larger effect sizes for cannabis problems (r = .372), cannabis severity (r = .280), gaming severity (r = .280), gambling severity (r = .245), gambling problems (r = .131), alcohol problems (r = .237), alcohol severity (r = .204), and severity of nicotine dependence (r = .118). Lack of impulse control exhibited some of the largest effects in relation to ABs. Clinical samples of cannabis users vs. community-based exhibited larger magnitude of associations.

Conclusions

Interventions targeting ABs should address lack of strategies and impulsive behaviors as an emotion regulation strategy specifically, as it is a common risk factor for ABs.

情绪失调与药物使用和行为成瘾的关系：五项独立荟萃分析的结果

背景/目的情绪失调（ED）是导致包括成瘾行为（ABs）在内的各种精神疾病的一个跨诊断变量。本荟萃分析研究了 ED 与成瘾行为（酒精、烟草、大麻、赌博和游戏）之间的关系，以及成瘾行为的参与指标（使用频率、数量/时间、严重程度和问题）。使用随机效应模型分别进行了五项荟萃分析。对调节因素（年龄、性别、大陆地区和样本类型；社区与临床）和发表偏差进行了评估。结果共发现 189 项研究（N = 78,733; 51.29 % 为女性）。ED与所有ABs均有明显关系。问题和严重程度指标的影响最大（r's .118-.372, all p <.023）。大麻问题（r = .372）、大麻严重程度（r = .280）、游戏严重程度（r = .280）、赌博严重程度（r = .245）、赌博问题（r = .131）、酒精问题（r = .237）、酒精严重程度（r = .204）和尼古丁依赖严重程度（r = .118）的效应较大。冲动控制能力的缺乏对 ABs 的影响最大。结论针对ABs的干预措施应特别针对作为情绪调节策略的缺乏策略和冲动行为，因为这是ABs的常见风险因素。
