Adicción al juego: procesos psicológicos y conductas relacionadas
La adicción a los juegos de azar supone uno de los principales problemas de conductas adictivas a nivel mundial. Por ello, es necesario conocer en profundidad cuáles son los procesos psicológicos y las conductas que pueden llevar a desarrollar o a empeorar esta problemática. La presente Tesis Doctoral, presentada en forma de compendio de investigaciones, tiene el objetivo de analizar una serie de factores implicados en los problemas de juego patológico. Estos factores son la medición de los problemas con el juego y una serie de procesos psicológicos y conductuales entre los que se encuentran la depresión, el afrontamiento del estrés, la susceptibilidad al efecto marco y las conductas prosoc…
Motives for gambling, cognitive distortions, and irresponsible gambling: Proposal for an explanatory model of gambling addiction in university students
There are many factors that appear to be directly related to the development of gambling addiction problems, and it is important to understand these relationships from a clinical perspective in order to develop prevention and intervention programs. This research seeks to analyze the relationships these problems have with gambling motives, cognitive distortions and irresponsible gambling behavior, and proposes an explanatory model of gambling addiction. The sample was made up of 258 adults residing in the province of Valencia (59.5% women), with a mean age of 20.95 years (SD = 2.19). A series of questionnaires were applied to measure the variables involved, and bivariate correlations, simple…
Relationship between Prosocial Behaviours and Addiction Problems: A Systematic Review.
The relationship of addiction problems with other pathologies or with different problematic factors has often been studied by psychology. Positive psychology is also currently approaching to these problems and their relationship with positive factors, such as prosocial behaviours. The purpose of this research is to carry out a systematic review of the scientific literature that has studied this relationship from 1900 to 2020. After the screening process with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 15 articles were selected. The main characteristics found in this relationship and the problems or limitations of investigations that have found relationships other than the mainstream, w…
La conducta prosocial como factor protector de los problemas de adicción al juego en universitarios
espanolEsta investigacion busca analizar las variables implicadas en la conducta prosocial y la capacidad de esta para actuar como un factor protector frente a los problemas de adiccion al juego. Este estudio es de tipo cuantitativo, descriptivo, transversal y correlacional. La muestra se compuso por 258 adultos jovenes universitarios (59.5% mujeres) con una edad media de 20.95 anos (DE= 2.19). Se aplicaron cuestionarios (Brief Resilient Coping Scale, cuestionario de apoyo social, Escala de Prosocialidad y South Oaks Gambling Screen) para medir las variables implicadas y realizo un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados mostraron buenos indices de ajuste (X2(41)= 59.31, p= .06; …
Motives for gambling, cognitive distortions, and irresponsible gambling: Proposal for an explanatory model of gambling addiction
There are many factors that appear to be directly related to the development of gambling addiction problems, and it is important to understand these relationships from a clinical perspective in order to develop prevention and intervention programs. Objectives This study seeks to analyze the relationships that gambling addiction has with gambling motives, cognitive distortions, and irresponsible gambling behavior, and proposes an explanatory model of this addiction. According to the model, enhancement acts as a predictor of cognitive distortions, which in turn predict gambling addiction, with irresponsible gambling as a mediator. Methods The sample was made up of 258 university students (59.…
Social support and resilience to foster prosocial behaviours during the COVID-19 pandemic confinement: an explanatory model (Apoyo social y resiliencia para fomentar las conductas prosociales durante el confinamiento por la COVID-19: un modelo explicativo)
The containment measures taken because of the COVID-19 pandemic have had consequences on human thought and behaviour. The purpose of this study is to contrast an explanatory model of prosocial behaviours during confinement by analysing different variables involved. The study sample was made up of 946 participants (70.9% female) and had an average age of 35.25 (SD = 13.98). Participants completed a series of online questionnaires. The results show that social support is a predictor of prosocial behaviours and resilience is a mediator in this relationship;living with others is a protective factor for social support;not working during confinement is a predictor for prosocial behaviours;and bei…
A Reliability generalization Meta-analysis of the south oaks gambling screen (SOGS).
Background: The South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) is one of the most widely used screening instruments for evaluating addiction to gambling. Method: The main objective of this study is to analyze whether the SOGS is a reliable instrument and what characteristics of studies on the SOGS are linked to its reported reliability. Results: A meta-analysis was carried out with 63 studies including 65 independent samples. The mean value of a was .86 (95% CI of .84-.88), with high heterogeneity (I2 = 98.27%). The variables that explain the most heterogeneity were the continent where the study was performed (R2 = .61), application to participants with or without clinical problems (R2 = .58), the form …
Social Support and Resilience as Predictors of Prosocial Behaviors before and during COVID-19
The objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between social support and resilience with prosocial behavior before and during the confinement caused by COVID-19. Materials and Methods: The participants were divided into a confined group (228 women and 84 men) and an unconfined group (153 women and 105 men), all of whom were university students. Instruments were applied to measure the variables proposed. Results: Social support predicted 24.4% of the variance in prosocial behavior among women and 12% among men in the confined group; no evidence of this relationship was found in the unconfined groups. Resilience predicted 7% of the variance in prosocial behavior among confine…
Measurement of Prosocial Tendencies: Meta-Analysis of the Generalization of the Reliability of the Instrument
The Prosocial Tendencies Measure (PTM) and its revised version (PTM-R) are used internationally to measure prosocial behaviors in different life situations. To obtain accumulated evidence of the report and the reliability of its scores, a meta-analysis of the reliability of internal consistency was performed. The databases of Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus were reviewed and all the studies that applied it from 2002 to 2021 were selected. Results: Only 47.9% of the studies presented the index of reliability of PTM and PTM-R. The meta-analytic results of the reliability report of the subscales that the PTM and the PTM-R have in common were: Public 0.78 (95% CI: 0.76–0.80), Anonymous 0.80 (95…
