O le tagofiaina ole Initaneti ole tulaga ole mafaufau ole tino mai taaloga faʻapitoa? (2014)

AIMS:

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.

METHODS:

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.

TULAFONO:

E ui lava i le IA ma le PG o loʻo faʻaalia ni eseesega tutusa ma le vaega o loʻo pulea i laʻasaga o le atuatuvale, popolega ma le lalolagi atoa, o vaega e lua o le falemaʻi na faʻaalia uiga eseese, faʻafeiloaʻiga ma agafesootai. O faʻamaʻi faapitoa IA tagata faʻatusatusa i tagata maʻi PG na faʻaalia se faʻalauteleina o mafaufau ma amioga e fesoʻotai ma se faʻaletonu taua o tagata. O vaega e lua o le falemaʻi na faʻasoa atu se taʻiala faʻaletonu ma le faʻaleagaina o le mafaufau.

FAAIUGA:

E ui lava ile IA ma le PG o loʻo tuʻuina atu faʻamatalaga faʻapitoa faʻapitoa, o le tulaga o le IA na faʻaalia i se mafaufauga talafeagai, mafaufauga, ma le agavaʻa faʻatusatusa i le tulaga o le PG.
