Although pathological gambling is a relatively common disorder, there are only limited data available about the validity of its diagnosis as an impulse control disorder. Interestingly, there is no single conceptual widely accepted model that adequately accounts for the multiple biological, psychological and ecological variables contributing to the development of pathological gambling. In this paper, the authors demonstrate aspects of addictive behavior of pathological gambling. It is suggested that despite conceptual difficulties associated with the variable of self-control, contemporary research into the addictive behavior of gambling has clearly demonstrated its closeness to addictions as compared to impulse control disorders.
虽然病态赌博是一种相对常见的障碍，但关于将其诊断为冲动控制障碍的有效性的可用数据有限。有趣的是，没有一个单一的概念模型可以充分解释导致病态赌博的多种生物、心理和生态变量。在本文中，作者展示了病态赌博的成瘾行为的各个方面。尽管与自我控制变量相关的概念上存在困难，但对赌博成瘾行为的当代研究已经清楚地表明，与冲动控制障碍相比，它与成瘾行为更为接近。
