Young adulthood is a period renowned for engagement in impulsive and risky behaviors, including gambling. There are some indications that young adults exhibit higher gambling rates in comparison to older adults. Problem gambling has also been linked to ADHD. This longitudinal study examines the relationship between gambling and ADHD among an epidemiological sample of young adults (n = 235; males = 179, females = 56) aged 18-24. Results indicate that individuals who report childhood ADHD symptoms which persist into young adulthood experience greater gambling problem severity than participants with no ADHD or those with non-persistent ADHD.
青年期是一个以冲动和冒险行为(包括赌博)而闻名的时期。有一些迹象表明,与老年人相比,年轻人的赌博率更高。问题赌博也与注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)有关。这项纵向研究调查了18至24岁的年轻成年人流行病学样本(n = 235;男性 = 179,女性 = 56)中赌博与ADHD之间的关系。结果表明,报告童年期ADHD症状并持续到青年期的个体,比没有ADHD或ADHD症状未持续的参与者,经历更严重的赌博问题。
