Gambling disorder and other comorbid addictive disorders may have similar underlying affective and motivational patterns. This study aims at examining the association between gambling disorder, comorbid addictive disorders (i.e., alcohol, drugs, spending, and videogames), positive and affective mood, and gambling motives in a community sample. A sample of 1099 adolescents and young adults was recruited from educational centres, from which 569 (51.7%) scored as non-problem gamblers, 42 (3.8%) as at-risk gamblers, and 53 (4.8%) as problem gamblers. Results suggest that enhancement, social, and coping motives are greater among problem gamblers and at-risk gamblers as compared to non-problem gamblers. Problem gamblers scored higher in gambling and comorbid disorders than at-risk gamblers, and also higher in gambling motives and negative mood when compared to non-problem gamblers. Likewise, gambling severity was significantly associated to gambling motives, negative mood, and other addictive disorders. Finally, enhancement motives were predictive of gambling, alcohol, drugs, and spending while controlling for the effect of age, sex, and positive and negative mood. These results shed light into the nature of the relationship between gambling and other comorbid addictions and can be used to tailor prevention and treatment strategies.

赌博动机：与青少年的成瘾性疾病以及消极和积极的情绪有关。

赌博性疾病和其他合并性成瘾性疾病可能具有相似的潜在情感和动机模式。这项研究旨在研究社区样本中赌博疾病，合并性成瘾性疾病（例如，酒精，毒品，消费和电子游戏），积极和情感性情绪以及赌博动机之间的关联。从教育中心招募了1099名青少年，其中有569名（51.7％）被评为无问题赌徒，有42名（3.8％）被评为有风险赌徒，有53名（4.8％）被评为问题赌徒。结果表明，与无问题赌徒相比，问题赌徒和高风险赌徒的增强，社交和应对动机更大。问题赌徒在赌博和合并症中的得分高于高风险赌徒，与非问题赌徒相比，赌博动机和消极情绪更高。同样，赌博的严重性也与赌博动机，负面情绪和其他成瘾性疾病显着相关。最后，增强动机可以预测赌博，酗酒，吸毒和消费，同时控制年龄，性别以及积极和消极情绪的影响。这些结果揭示了赌博与其他合并症成瘾之间关系的本质，可用于制定预防和治疗策略。积极和消极的情绪。这些结果揭示了赌博与其他合并症成瘾之间关系的本质，可用于制定预防和治疗策略。积极和消极的情绪。这些结果揭示了赌博与其他合并症成瘾之间关系的本质，可用于制定预防和治疗策略。
