Significant differences between groups concerning all variables could be found. Furthermore highly significant correlations between negative self-concept, negative affect as well as avoidance of emotions were investigated within the group of patholodical gamblers.Data served to develop a vicious-circle-model of pathological gambling. Taken into consideration atiological models of addiction as well as latest results concerning substance-related addictions the results of the present study confirm the assumption that pathological gambling is an substance-independent addiction disorder or a pychological dependency.Implications for therapy are discussed.deinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPathological Gambling - Self-Concept - Comorbidity - Affect-Regulation- Psychological Dependency11Aspekte der Glücksspielsucht: Selbstkonzept, Affektregulation und Achse-I-KomorbiditätDissertationurn:nbn:de:gbv:46-diss000000700
