GĦANIJIET:
The behavioural-addiction perspective suggests that Internet addiction (IA) and pathological gambling (PG) could share similar characteristics with substance dependence. Despite the similarities between IA and PG, it is not clear whether these disorders share different or similar psychopathological conditions. The aim of the present study was to test whether IA patients presented different psychological symptoms, temperamental traits, coping strategies and relational patterns compared with PG patients. The hypothesis was that IA patients will show greater interpersonal disengagement than PG patients.
METODI:
Two clinical groups (31 IA patients and 11 PG patients) and a control group (38 healthy subjects) matched with the clinical groups for gender and age were enrolled. The clinical groups were gathered in a psychiatric service for IA and PG in a hospital. Anxiety, depression, coping strategies, attachment, temperament, and global assessment of functioning were measured. MANOVAs, ANOVAs and post-hoc comparisons were carried out in order to test the hypothesis.
RIŻULTATI:
Minkejja li l-IA u l-PG urew differenzi simili mal-grupp ta 'kontroll fuq il-livelli ta' depressjoni, ansjetà u funzjonament globali, iż-żewġ gruppi kliniċi wrew mudelli differenti ta 'temperament, ta' kif wieħed jiflaħ u soċjali. Speċifikament pazjenti b'IA meta mqabbla mal-pazjenti b'PG urew diżintegrazzjoni mentali u fl-imġieba akbar assoċjata ma 'indeboliment importanti interpersonali. Iż-żewġ gruppi kliniċi kellhom strateġija impulsiva biex ilaħħqu u indebolimenti soċjo-emozzjonali.
KONKLUŻJONIJIET:
Minkejja pazjenti b'IA u PG li għandhom sintomi kliniċi simili, il-kundizzjoni tal-IA kienet ikkaratterizzata minn diżinġestjoni mentali, ta 'mġiba u soċjali aktar relevanti meta mqabbla mal-kundizzjoni ta' PG.
