-------------------------------------------------TITLE: Compulsive gamers and gamblers share similar traits, but different emotional triggers
A study in Ecuador involving gamblers and video gamers found that positive-affect urgency, an aspect of impulsivity, plays a larger role in gambling-related compulsivity, whereas negative urgency is more important in gaming-related compulsivity. The paper was published in Psychological Reports.
Impulsivity is the tendency to act quickly without fully considering possible consequences. One popular theoretical model of impulsivity (the UPPS-P model) posits that impulsivity consists of five related, but distinct aspects: negative urgency, positive urgency, lack of premeditation, lack of perseverance, and sensation seeking.
Negative urgency is the tendency to act rashly when experiencing distress, anger, anxiety, or other strong negative emotions. Positive urgency refers to impulsive behavior triggered by intense positive emotions, such as excitement or euphoria. Lack of premeditation means acting without sufficiently thinking ahead or weighing the likely results of one’s actions. Lack of perseverance involves difficulty maintaining attention and completing demanding or monotonous tasks. Sensation seeking is the desire for novel, exciting, or risky experiences.
María Jara-Rizzo, a researcher at the University of Guayaquil, and colleagues explored the extent to which impulsivity is associated with the compulsive features of problematic gambling behavior and problematic video game use. Compulsivity is the tendency to repeatedly perform behaviors despite little pleasure or benefit and despite harmful consequences. This happens because the behavior feels difficult to resist or relieves distress.
Study participants were 165 regular video gamers and 130 regular gamblers from the two largest cities in Ecuador. The average age of gamblers was 33 years, and 52 of them were women. The average age of video gamers was 23 years, and 39 of them were women.
To be included in the study, prospective participants needed to be over 18 years of age, not diagnosed with any neurodevelopmental, neurocognitive, or neurodegenerative disorders, and regularly engaging in either video gaming or gambling at least twice per week during the past 12 months. Participants who reported absolutely no symptoms of internet gaming disorder or gambling disorder were excluded from analyses. The researchers noted that 54% of gamblers met the diagnostic cutoff for gambling disorder, while 15% of gamers met the cutoff for internet gaming disorder.
Participants completed an online survey in which they reported their demographic information, frequencies of their gaming or gambling activity, and assessments of impulsivity, compulsivity, and symptoms of gambling and internet gaming disorders.
Results showed that gamblers tended to show more pronounced compulsivity compared to gamers. However, the two groups did not differ in average levels of any of the five aspects of impulsivity. Of the five aspects of impulsivity, more pronounced positive and negative urgency were associated with higher compulsivity.
The researchers created a statistical model for predicting compulsivity from impulsivity, age, sex, and whether the person was a gambler or a video gamer. Results showed that, on the whole sample, positive urgency was a significant predictor.
However, looking at the groups separately, positive urgency was a more important predictor of compulsivity in the group of gamblers than in the group of video gamers. In contrast, negative urgency was more strongly associated with compulsivity among gamers.
“The present findings demonstrate that while gamblers and gamers do not differ globally in impulsivity, compulsivity is higher among gamblers and its association with urgency facets differs across groups,” the study authors concluded. “These results suggest that executive dysfunction and positive-affect urgency play a larger role in gambling-related compulsivity, whereas negative urgency and maladaptive regulation of distress are more salient in gaming.”
The researchers explain that the link between negative urgency and gaming suggests that compulsive gaming functions primarily as a strategy to manage distress rather than to seek reward. Conversely, the association between positive urgency and gambling aligns with established models of frontostriatal dysfunction, where hypersensitivity to reward cues weakens voluntary control.
The study contributes to the scientific understanding of the links between compulsivity and impulsivity. However, it should be noted that the cross-sectional design of the study does not allow any causal inferences to be derived from the results. It is also limited by the fact that the two groups differed significantly in their levels of clinical severity, with a much higher percentage of gamblers meeting the diagnostic cutoff for a disorder than gamers.
The paper, “Differences in the Relationship Between Impulsivity and Compulsivity Between Video Gamers and Gamblers,” was authored by María Jara-Rizzo, Diego Erazo-Pérez, Jose C. Perales, and Jose A. Rodas.

-------------------------------------------------TITLE: Study finds unpredictable childhood environments are linked to borderline personality traits in adulthood
People who remembered their childhoods as unstable and unpredictable reported more emotional, interpersonal, impulsive, and dissociative borderline traits in adulthood, according to research published in Evolutionary Psychological Science.
Borderline personality pathology involves a diverse collection of difficulties, including emotional instability, impulsivity, interpersonal conflict, and disruptions in identity and self-regulation. Researchers increasingly examine these characteristics as traits that vary continuously across the population rather than treating borderline personality disorder as an all-or-nothing diagnosis.
Although childhood abuse, neglect, invalidation, and other adverse experiences have consistently been associated with borderline pathology, previous research has largely focused on specific events or cumulative adversity rather than the broader structure of a person’s childhood environment.
Virgil Zeigler-Hill and colleagues examined whether borderline traits are linked not only to the severity of childhood adversity, but also to the stability of the broader childhood environment. Drawing on life history theory, they distinguished harshness, which refers to chronic hardship such as resource scarcity or persistent threat, from unpredictability, which refers to instability in caregiving, routines, and family circumstances.
The researchers investigated how these conditions were related to four components of borderline personality: neurotic traits involving negative emotions and emotional volatility, antagonistic traits involving hostility and interpersonal conflict, disinhibited traits involving impulsivity and poor behavioural control, and dissociative traits involving identity confusion and feelings of unreality.
Zeigler-Hill and colleagues conducted three studies involving 4,993 participants altogether. Study 1 included a final sample of 529 U.S. adults recruited through Prolific, Study 2 included 2,478 undergraduate students from a large Midwestern U.S. university, Study 3 included 1,986 Israeli adults recruited through public advertisements and social media. The Israeli survey materials were translated into Hebrew and then independently translated back into English to check their accuracy.
Participants completed the Perceived Childhood Harshness and Unpredictability Scale. The 11-item harshness subscale assessed chronic material and environmental hardship, such as financial strain, whereas the 15-item unpredictability subscale assessed instability in family life and daily routines. They also completed measures of neurotic, antagonistic, disinhibited, and dissociative borderline traits. Studies 1 and 3 used the Five-Factor Borderline Inventory-Super Short Form, while Study 2 used the longer Five-Factor Borderline Inventory-Short Form. The researchers then examined how each childhood condition was related to the four borderline traits, whether harshness altered the association between unpredictability and those traits, and whether these patterns differed between men and women.
Across all three samples, perceived childhood unpredictability was consistently associated with higher levels of every borderline trait examined. People who remembered their childhood environments as more unstable and inconsistent tended to report greater emotional volatility and distress, more hostility and interpersonal conflict, more impulsive behaviour, and more dissociative experiences. These relationships emerged in the U.S. community sample, the U.S. student sample, and the Israeli community sample, suggesting that the pattern was not limited to one age group, recruitment method, or national context.
The researchers had predicted that childhood unpredictability would be associated with neurotic, antagonistic, and disinhibited borderline traits. Although its relationship with dissociative traits was examined without a specific prediction, unpredictability was also consistently associated with higher dissociative traits across the three studies.
Childhood harshness produced a much less straightforward pattern. It was modestly related to borderline traits when considered by itself, but these relationships frequently became nonsignificant or slightly negative once unpredictability was considered at the same time. Harshness also altered the relationship between unpredictability and all four borderline traits.
In the two U.S. samples, unpredictability generally had the strongest association with borderline traits among people who reported relatively low childhood harshness; the differences were smaller in the Israeli sample. The authors suggest that a consistently harsh environment may still contain more stable and understandable contingencies than an environment that changes unpredictably, although they emphasized that this does not make harsh conditions beneficial.
Gender differences were inconsistent, such that the link between unpredictability and antagonistic traits was stronger among men in the two U.S. studies but not in Israel, while there was a stronger link with disinhibited traits among men only in the student sample.
Of note is that these studies were correlational and asked adults to remember their childhood environments, thus, they cannot establish that childhood unpredictability caused later borderline traits; current personality and mood may also affect how childhood is recalled. As well, the exclusive reliance on self-report measures, the use of nonclinical samples, and recruitment from only the United States and Israel limit the extent to which the findings can be generalized to people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and to other cultural settings.
Overall, these findings suggest that the instability and inconsistency of childhood environments may be more closely connected to diverse borderline personality traits than the severity of childhood hardship alone, highlighting predictability as an important feature of early development.
The research, “Recollections of Childhood Socioecological Conditions and Borderline Personality Traits: The Roles of Perceived Harshness and Unpredictability,” was authored by Virgil Zeigler-Hill, Jennifer Vonk, Meghan Martini, Renee LeBlanc, Carly King, and Avi Besser.

A recent study by Mürner-Lavanchy et al. looked into the brain's behavior during inhibition tasks in adolescents with NSSI, a condition closely linked with impulsivity. Using fNIRS to evaluate behavioral responses, the researchers reveal how adolescents with NSSI differ from their healthy peers during cognitive control tasks.

CW: It’s pretty well known that most Autistic people are also ADHDers (80% is the figure I’ve seen most often, which makes me wonder if it isn’t actually 100%) But did you know that most ADHDers have ASD?
