Abstract

Introduction / Objectives: Gambling and gaming disorder are usually comorbid addictive behaviours in which alexithymia and emotional regulation have been proved to be of relevance. The present study aimed to analyse the relationship between those variables and their differences depending on the presence or absence of gambling and gaming behaviours. Method: The sample consisted of 1,219 people between 12 and 20 years of age (M = 15.55, SD = 2.07; 51.8% females). Results: The results showed significant differences between players and non-players in gambling disorder, alexithymia and emotional regulation. The findings also indicated that there were differences in alexithymia, emotional regulation, negative affect, gambling disorder and gaming disorder among the different profiles of video game players. The comparison of participants with gaming disorder, gambling disorder, both, or neither of them, showed differences in alexithymia, emotional regulation, negative affect, gambling disorder and gaming disorder. Furthermore, correlations between gambling disorder and age, gaming disorder, negative affect, alexithymia and emotional regulation were found. Similarly, gaming disorder was associated with gambling disorder, negative affect, alexithymia, emotional regulation and age. Conclusions: The hierarchical regression analyses demonstrated the predictive role of alexithymia and age in gambling disorder as well as the predictive role of age, sex and negative affect in gaming disorder.

期刊介绍： Revista latinoamericana de Psicología (RLP) is a four month publication from Konrad Lorenz Fundación Universitaria. The RLP evaluates works that belong to one of the following categories: original papers (with empiric and new information) of many psychology fields (regardless of the methodology used) or qualitative/quantitative systematic reviews. Eventually it will be interested on works’ revision related to the development psychology tools or softwares, original methodology papers and researches which evaluate psychology from scientometry. The RLP is not interested in publishing non-systematic reviews or states of the art, case studies, protocols studies, hypothesis or papers proposals, letters, commentaries or essays, opinions articles, politics documents nor other sort of secondary literature. Traditionally, there have been monographics, books’ reviews and “others” published in “Mundo de la Psicología”, nevertheless these modalities will not be considered.
