However, few studies have analyzed the role of both explicit and implicit emotional expression in gambling disorder (GD). This pilot study aims to examine emotion regulation in treatment-seeking patients with GD. The sample included n = 35 participants classified into three groups: patients with current GD, patients with GD in remission, and a control group without GD. Implicit emotional expressions were evaluated through a serious videogame (Playmancer) and explicit emotions were measured through self-reports. Patients in the current GD group had, compared to the remission and control groups, lower levels of implicit emotion expression and higher levels of explicit emotion expression. The patients in GD remission group endorsed better emotion regulation capacity in comparison to patients with current GD. We conclude that differences in emotion expression profiles (such as anger and anxiety) should be considered both in the development of screening and diagnostic measures and in the planning of prevention and treatment programs. 2021 Article https://ddd.uab.cat/record/301988 urn:10.1007/s10899-020-09945-2 urn:oai:ddd.uab.cat:301988 urn:oai:egreta.uab.cat:publications/43c1564b-8ac1-464d-bf6b-2fc0e77db599 urn:pure_id:96875378 urn:scopus_id:85083368289 urn:pmid:32253655 urn:articleid:15733602v37p467 eng Journal of Gambling Studies ; Vol. 37, p. 467-481 (2021) open access Aquest material està protegit per drets d'autor i/o drets afins.
