One hundred twenty-five adult participants recruited from gambling treatment centers were included in an examination of gambling-related suicidal ideation and attempt. In this sample, 48% (N = 60) had a history of gambling-related suicidal ideation, and an additional 12% (N = 15) reported at least one gambling-related suicide attempt. Measures of gambling experience, impulsiveness, and dissociation were evaluated across groups. Level of suicidality was associated with greater gambling severity, gambling escape, dissociation and attention seeking, impulsivity, and generalized dissociative experience, but not with other psychological indices such as empathy or venturesomeness. The implications of these findings for the identification and treatment of gamblers at risk for suicide are discussed.
从赌博治疗中心招募的125名成年参与者被纳入一项关于与赌博相关的自杀意念和企图的调查。在这个样本中,48%(N = 60)有与赌博相关的自杀意念史,另外12%(N = 15)报告至少有一次与赌博相关的自杀企图。对各群体的赌博经历、冲动性和解离情况进行了评估。自杀倾向程度与更高的赌博严重程度、赌博逃避、解离和寻求关注、冲动性以及广泛性解离体验相关,但与其他心理指标如同理心或冒险精神无关。讨论了这些发现对识别和治疗有自杀风险的赌徒的意义。
