The aim of this study was to explore the relations between gambling, brain emotion systems, personality, self/other perception, and hopelessness in an Italian community. Dimensions of gambling, positive and negative emotions, self/other perception, personality and hopelessness were assessed in a community sample of 235 adults aged 19-59 years. Two structural models were tested. We found a significant correlation between problem gambling and impulsivity, which in association with aggressivity and negative personality dimensions may help explain the psychopathology factor, i.e. a latent variable involving neurotic personality, hopelessness, high sensation seeking, low metacognitive responsiveness, and disorganized patterns of interpersonal relationships. These results contribute to develop a theoretical framework of gambling in relation with personality factors and provide a new approach for clinical intervention of problem gambling that relies on a solid multidimensional perspective.
本研究的目的是探讨意大利一个社区中赌博、大脑情感系统、人格、自我/他人认知与绝望感之间的关系。在一个由235名年龄在19至59岁之间的成年人组成的社区样本中，对赌博的维度、积极和消极情绪、自我/他人认知、人格及绝望感进行了评估。测试了两个结构模型。我们发现问题赌博与冲动性之间存在显著相关性，冲动性与攻击性及消极人格维度相结合，可能有助于解释心理病理学因素，即一个涉及神经质人格、绝望感、高感觉寻求、低元认知反应性以及人际关系紊乱模式的潜在变量。这些结果有助于构建一个与人格因素相关的赌博理论框架，并为基于坚实多维视角的问题赌博临床干预提供一种新方法。
