Abstract

Background

The study investigated the relationship between early maladaptive schemas (EMS), gaming disorder (GD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) symptoms. Previous studies did not address the possible relationship between AUD and GD symptoms, which could lead to an incomplete understanding of the relationship between EMS and these disordered behaviours. The current study addressed this research gap by testing the relationship between AUD, GD symptoms and EMS.

Methods

The study included 1054 participants (565 females, M = 22.96 years, SD = 2.52) who reported playing video games and consuming alcohol within the past 12 months. Participants completed the Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ-S3), Gaming Disorder Test (GDT) and Problem Drinking Scale (PDS). Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) analysis was used to model the relationships between EMS, GD and AUD symptoms while controlling for gender, age, gaming hours and alcohol consumption frequency.

Results

AUD symptoms were positively associated with dependence/incompetence, vulnerability to harm or illness, self-punitiveness and entitlement/grandiosity schemas and negatively related to social isolation/alienation and insufficient self-control/self-discipline schemas. GD symptoms were positively related to enmeshment and subjugation schemas and negatively associated with unrelenting standards and pessimism/negativism schemas. Significant differences were found between GD and AUD symptoms in their associations with specific EMS, suggesting distinct psychological pathways.

Conclusions

The findings highlighted the differential roles of EMS in AUD and GD symptoms. The results suggest that EMS contribute uniquely to addictive behaviours and underscore the importance of considering schema-based interventions. Future research should further explore the mediating role of parenting styles in the development of AUD and GD symptoms.

早期适应不良图式、游戏和酒精使用障碍症状。

背景：本研究探讨了早期适应不良图式（EMS）、游戏障碍（GD）和酒精使用障碍（AUD）症状之间的关系。先前的研究没有解决AUD和GD症状之间的可能关系，这可能导致对EMS与这些紊乱行为之间关系的不完整理解。目前的研究通过测试AUD、GD症状和EMS之间的关系来填补这一研究空白。方法：该研究包括1054名参与者（565名女性，M = 22.96岁，SD = 2.52），他们报告在过去12个月内玩电子游戏和饮酒。参与者完成青年图式问卷（YSQ-S3）、游戏障碍测试（GDT）和饮酒问题量表（PDS）。在控制性别、年龄、游戏时间和饮酒频率的情况下，采用看似不相关回归（SUR）分析对EMS、GD和AUD症状之间的关系进行建模。结果：AUD症状与依赖/无能、易受伤害或疾病、自我惩罚和权利/夸大图式呈正相关，与社会孤立/异化和自我控制/自律不足图式负相关。焦虑症状与束缚和征服图式正相关，与无情标准和悲观/消极图式负相关。GD和AUD症状与特定EMS的关联存在显著差异，提示不同的心理途径。结论：研究结果强调了EMS在AUD和GD症状中的不同作用。结果表明，EMS对成瘾行为有独特的贡献，并强调了考虑基于图式的干预的重要性。未来的研究应进一步探讨父母教养方式在AUD和GD症状发展中的中介作用。
