Background and aims: It has been suggested that compulsivity has an essential role in gambling disorder (GD), yet there is a lack of literature exploring the link between GD, compulsivity and gender. Our main aim was to explore gender differences between two of the neurocognitive domains of compulsivity (attentional set-shifting and attentional bias and disengagement) in patients with GD and compare them with healthy controls (HCs). Methods: The sample included 57 treatment-seeking adults with GD and 60 HCs recruited from the general population. Results: The pairwise comparisons showed a worse attentional set-shifting performance in women with GD than in men (total trials (p = 0.042, |d| = 0.56), perseverative responses (p = 0.001, |d| = 0.89), trails to complete the first category (p = 0.001, |d| = 0.78) and categories completed (p = 0.001, |d| = 0.98. Also, men with GD presented higher difficulties than HC men in the two assessed compulsivity domains (attentional bias and disengagement and attentional set-shifting; Stroop interference (p = 0.015, |d| = 0.11), TMT-B (p = 0.041, |d| = 1.96) and lower scores for the WCST perseverative responses (p = 0.007, |d| = 0.78), whereas the differences observed in women with GD and HCs were most significantly in attentional set-shifting. Conclusions: This study provides the first evidence of gender compulsivity differences in GD. The results are relevant for improving current treatments by targeting specific compulsivity domains that can lead to more successful treatment options. 2021 Article https://ddd.uab.cat/record/301985 urn:10.1016/j.addbeh.2020.106683 urn:oai:ddd.uab.cat:301985 urn:oai:egreta.uab.cat:publications/f6eaad71-eb41-4875-81f3-6db1e8330b88 urn:pure_id:96873859 urn:scopus_id:85092081277 urn:pmid:33038679 urn:wos_id:000599684100027 urn:articleid:18736327v113e106683 eng Agencia Estatal de Investigación RTI2018-101837-B-I00 Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad PI14/00290 Instituto de Salud Carlos III PI17/01167 Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte FPU15/02911 Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte FPU16/01453 Addictive behaviors ; Vol. 113 (2021), art. 106683 open access Aquest material està protegit per drets d'autor i/o drets afins.
