Method: A total of 354 consecutive patients were administered an extensive battery assessing gambling behavior, psychopathology, and personality traits. Results: Male and female gamblers did not differ significantly in their mean scores on the ADHD measure. However, younger participants aged 18-35 scored higher. Higher ADHD scores were also associated with greater severity of gambling disorder and more general psychopathology. Regarding personality traits, high persistence and self-directedness were negatively related to ADHD scores, while in women alone a positive correlation was found between ADHD scores and scores on harm avoidance and self-transcendence. Conclusion: The presence of ADHD symptoms in both male and female gambling disorder patients may act as an indicator of the severity of gambling, general psychopathology, and dysfunctional personality traits. 2018-02-21T11:03:30Z 2018-02-21T11:03:30Z 2015 2018-02-21T11:03:30Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Reproducció del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.1155/2015/965303 BioMed Research International, 2015, vol. 2015, p. 965303 https://doi.org/10.1155/2015/965303 cc-by (c) Aymamí, Maria Neus et al., 2015 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Hindawi Articles publicats en revistes (Ciències Clíniques)
