Abstract

Positive illusions and winning exposure are key factors leading to problem lottery gambling, but few studies have examined the relationships between them. 402 Chinese lottery gamblers was conducted with the Winning Exposure Questionnaire, the Positive illusion Questionnaire, the Winning Experience Questionnaire, and the Social and Economic Status Questionnaire to investigate the relationship between winning exposure and positive illusions as well as the moderating role of winning experience and socioeconomic status. The results showed that winning exposure can significantly and positively predict the positive illusions (optimism bias, better than average bias, and illusion of control) of lottery gamblers. The highest winning amount and subjective socioeconomic status significantly moderated the relationship between winning exposure and optimism bias. That was to say, for lottery gamblers with smaller maximum winning amount and lower subjective socioeconomic status, the association between winning exposure and optimism bias was stronger. Furthermore, the moderating effect of highest winning amount in the relationship between winning exposure and better than average bias, and the moderating effects of occupational status and subjective socioeconomic status in the relationship between winning exposure and illusion of control were marginally significant.

Digitale Therapie lindert Borderline-Persönlichkeitsstörung

Eine rein digitale Therapie ohne therapeutische Unterstützung kann die Symptomatik bei Borderline-Persönlichkeitsstörung bereits etwas lindern, auch scheint sie das Suizidrisiko zu mindern. Darauf deuten Ergebnisse einer großen kontrollierten Studie. Die Effekte sind aber eher gering.

Schadet Schichtarbeit dem Gehirn?

Eine große Registerstudie bestätigt, dass Schichtarbeit mit einem erhöhten Risiko für psychische und neurologische Erkrankungen einhergeht, sowie mit einer Volumenabnahme in Gehirnarealen, die für Depression, Angst und kognitive Funktionen relevant sind.

Starke Menopausensymptome: ein Hinweis auf kognitive Veränderungen?

Stärkere Beschwerden in der Perimenopause sind mit einer reduzierten kognitiven Funktion in den mittleren und späteren Lebensjahren assoziiert. Auch das Verhalten kann sich ändern, wie eine Studie zeigt. Beides steht womöglich für erhöhte Demenzgefährdung.

Was tun, wenn pneumologische Medikamente Psyche und Blutbild verändern?

Arzneimittel für Patienten mit Mukoviszidose oder pulmonaler arterieller Hypertonie wirken offenbar nicht nur auf die Lunge. Was es in der Praxis zu beachten gilt, wurde beim Pneumologie-Kongress erläutert.
