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.

Abstract Purpose of Review Here, we systematically review all available evidence on the triadic relationship between positive and negative urgency, craving, and severity of symptoms of candidate behavioral addictions. Recent Findings Current theoretical models attribute a central importance to craving in the chronification and prognosis of behavioral addictions and other problematic non-substance-related behavioral patterns. Craving, in turn, has been convincingly shown to be an affect-laden state, and its control can be conceptualized as partially resulting from emotion regulation mechanisms. However, some gaps remain: first, there is no consensus on the predominantly appetitive or aversive nature of craving; and, second, although positive and negative urgency have been proposed as proxies to incidental emotion regulation mechanisms, their direct or indirect role in craving regulation and severity of problematic behaviors is still poorly known. Summary According to our results, craving emerges as a central construct, partially resulting from emotion dysregulation as assessed by urgency. The preponderance of positive urgency shown by most studies in this review also reinforces the view of positive emotions as a ‘trojan horse’ in addictive processes. Negative urgency, in turn, seems to be a complication factor that could underlie gambling addiction and other related mental health conditions. Most studies, however, are about gambling behavior, with the few studies in other domains precluding firm conclusions about the differences or similarities between them.

Abstract Purpose of Review Food addiction (FA) has been found to be associated with impulsivity, mainly urgency (negative and positive) and lack of perseverance. The present systematic review aimed to identify differences in impulsivity by gender and current implications of treatment regarding FA and impulsivity in clinical populations. The search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (WOS) databases, using the following search terms: “food addiction” and “impuls*.” Studies were included if they were written in English, had an observational design (e.g., cross-sectional, longitudinal, case-control), and used a quantitative methodology, without a limited search period to avoid selection bias. Recent Findings We included twenty-nine articles that aimed to examine whether there is a relationship between FA and impulsivity in clinical populations. Looking at gender differences, attentional and motor impulsivity were found to be related to FA in samples of women with obesity, whereas in the only study in a sample of men with obesity, cognitive and non-planning impulsivity appeared to be more associated with FA. Moreover, we identified three studies on the effects of interventions which included motivational, psychosocial, nutritional, and mindfulness components to address impulsivity and FA in cohorts with overweight/obesity and with substance use disorder (SUD). While some studies reported decreased levels of impulsivity, in other studies only FA decreased, and only one study showed significant changes in both FA and impulsivity after treatment. Summary Further research is needed to better understand the association between impulsivity and FA. Specifically, more studies with male populations could provide further evidence on how to better tailor treatment designs.
食物成瘾(Food addiction, FA)被发现与冲动性、紧迫感(消极和积极)以及缺乏毅力有关。本系统综述旨在确定冲动性的性别差异,以及目前在临床人群中对FA和冲动性的治疗意义。在PubMed, Scopus和Web of Science (WOS)数据库中进行搜索,使用以下搜索词:“食物成瘾”和“冲动*”。如果研究以英文撰写,具有观察性设计(例如,横断面,纵向,病例对照),并使用定量方法,没有有限的搜索期以避免选择偏倚,则纳入研究。我们纳入了29篇旨在研究临床人群中FA与冲动之间是否存在关系的文章。从性别差异来看,在肥胖女性样本中,注意力和运动冲动被发现与FA有关,而在唯一一项针对肥胖男性样本的研究中,认知和非计划性冲动似乎与FA更相关。此外,我们确定了三项关于干预效果的研究,包括动机、社会心理、营养和正念成分,以解决超重/肥胖和物质使用障碍(SUD)队列中的冲动和FA问题。虽然一些研究报告冲动性水平下降,但在其他研究中只有FA下降,只有一项研究显示治疗后FA和冲动性都有显著变化。需要进一步的研究来更好地理解冲动与FA之间的关系。具体来说,更多针对男性人群的研究可以为如何更好地定制治疗设计提供进一步的证据。
