Behavioral addictions (BAs) can be understood as disorders characterized by repetitive occurrence of reactivity and uncontrolled behaviors. Very few studies have investigated their association with bipolar mood disorders.
The present study aimed to determine the role of behavioral addictions in predicting interpersonal behavioral addictions in bipolar mood disorder patients.
This study had a cross-sectional correlation design. The statistical population was composed of all outpatients with bipolar mood disorders referring to clinical centers in Ardabil. The sample included 60 bipolar mood patients selected from patients referring to clinical centers using the available sampling method. A researcher-made behavioral addiction checklist, Interpersonal Behavioral Addictions Index, and exercise, sexual, and work addiction questionnaires, were used for data collection. The data were analyzed with a Pearson's correlation coefficient and multivariate regression analysis.
The results showed a significant negative relationship between behavioral addictions and interpersonal behavioral addictions (P ≥ 0.01). Multivariate regression analysis results also showed that behavioral addictions are significant and can explain 61% of the variance of interpersonal behavioral addictions in bipolar mood patients.
These results suggest that addictive behaviors can affect behavioral addictions in bipolar mood patients. Behavioral addictions lead to negative emotional regulation strategies and result in increased behavioral addictions in these patients. People with high levels of arousal or those who cannot control their behavioral addictions are probably more prone to addictive behaviors.
行为成瘾(BAs)可被理解为以反应性和不受控制行为的反复出现为特征的障碍。很少有研究调查它们与双相情感障碍的关联。
本研究旨在确定行为成瘾在预测双相情感障碍患者人际行为成瘾中的作用。
本研究采用横断面相关设计。统计总体由转诊至阿尔达比勒临床中心的所有双相情感障碍门诊患者组成。样本包括60名双相情感障碍患者,这些患者是使用便利抽样法从转诊至临床中心的患者中选取的。使用研究者编制的行为成瘾清单、人际行为成瘾指数以及运动、性和工作成瘾问卷进行数据收集。数据采用Pearson相关系数和多元回归分析进行分析。
结果显示行为成瘾与人际行为成瘾之间存在显著负相关(P≤0.01)。多元回归分析结果还表明,行为成瘾具有显著性,并且可以解释双相情感障碍患者人际行为成瘾变异的61%。
这些结果表明,成瘾行为会影响双相情感障碍患者的行为成瘾。行为成瘾会导致消极的情绪调节策略,并导致这些患者的行为成瘾增加。唤醒水平高或无法控制其行为成瘾的人可能更容易出现成瘾行为。
