P-110 - Gaming addiction - disturbed impulse control in internet addicts and pathological gamblers

2012

Internet Addiction (IA) is proposed to be added as a research diagnosis to the upcoming DSM-V while Pathological Gambling (PG) is proposed to be subsumed under the new section “Addiction and related disorders” as first behavioral addiction. The outpatient clinic for behavioral addiction of the clinic for psychosomatic medicine in Mainz offers counseling and treatment to patients suffering from IA and PG. Deficits in impulse control are suggested to be a key factor to addiction. Studies in PG have shown deficits in the ability to control impulses, for example in decision making, resisting temptation or behavioral inhibition.

Ontological diversity in gaming disorder measurement: a nationally representative registered report

2022

Gaming-related health problems have been researched since the 1980s with numerous different ontologies as reference systems, from self-assessed ‘game addiction’ to ‘pathological gambling’ (in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders [DSM]-IV), ‘internet gaming disorder’ (in the third section of the DSM-5) and most recently ‘gaming disorder’ (in the International Classification of Diseases [ICD]-11). Our goal was to investigate how screening instruments that derive from different ontologies differ in identifying associated problem groups. By using four central screening instruments, each representing a different ontological basis, we hypothesized differences and similarities…

In addition, a discussion is initiated on behaviors that formally do not meet the definition of addiction, although they are associated with some compulsion. In addition, the issues of the experience of the disease a…
