Abstract

Abstract Purpose of review This narrative review provides a detailed look at impulsivity in the context of gaming disorder. Summarizing empirical findings, we aim to identify whether gaming disorder is associated with specific facets of impulsivity, namely motor, attentional, and decisional impulsivity, assessed by self-report and behavioral measures. Wherever possible, we distinguished between general and stimuli-specific (gaming-related) impulsivity. Recent findings Gaming disorder is associated with attentional impulsivity. Heightened motor impulsivity in individuals with gaming disorder is particularly evident in the presence of gaming-related cues. Decisional impulsivity is not per se increased. Gender-related differences and comorbid ADHD are likely to moderate the association between impulsivity and gaming disorder symptoms. Summary Facets of impulsivity are differentially associated with gaming disorder. These associations are dependent upon characteristics of the studied population, used measures, and applied diagnostic criteria. Uniform diagnosis/screening and more targeted investigations are necessary in order to derive effective clinical implications.

游戏障碍中的冲动性:叙述回顾

摘要:本文对游戏障碍背景下的冲动性进行了详细的研究。总结经验发现，我们旨在通过自我报告和行为测量来确定游戏障碍是否与冲动性的特定方面有关，即运动冲动性、注意力冲动性和决策冲动性。在可能的情况下，我们区分了一般冲动和特定刺激(游戏相关)冲动。最近的研究发现，游戏障碍与注意力冲动有关。游戏障碍患者运动冲动的增强在游戏相关线索的存在下尤为明显。决策冲动本身并没有增加。性别相关差异和共病ADHD可能会缓和冲动和游戏障碍症状之间的联系。冲动的各个方面与游戏障碍有不同的联系。这些关联取决于研究人群的特征、使用的测量方法和应用的诊断标准。为了获得有效的临床意义，统一的诊断/筛查和更有针对性的调查是必要的。

Designed for physicians and other mental health professionals who need to keep up-to-date with the latest research, Current Addiction Reports offers expert reviews on the most recent and important research in addiction. We accomplish this by appointing leaders in the field to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas and disciplines, such asAlcoholTobaccoStimulants, cannabis, and club drugsBehavioral addictionsGender disparities in addictionComorbid psychiatric disorders and addictionSubstance abuse disorders and HIVSection Editors, in turn, select the most pressing topics as well as experts to evaluate the latest research, report on any controversial discoveries or hypotheses of interest, and ultimately bring readers up-to-date on the topic. Articles represent interdisciplinary endeavors with research from fields such as psychiatry, psychology, pharmacology, epidemiology, and neuroscience.Additionally, an international Editorial Board—representing a range of disciplines within addiction medicine—ensures that the journal content includes current, emerging research and suggests articles of special interest to their country or region.
