Emotion Regulation Strategies and Social Media Addiction: Gender‐Specific Pathways Through Social Anxiety and Depression in Youth
The increasing prevalence of social media addiction (SMA) among adolescents poses significant challenges for mental health, highlighting the need for effective prevention and intervention strategies. This study investigates how two well‐known emotion regulation strategies—cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression—relate to SMA, with depressive symptoms and social anxiety as mediators, focusing on gender differences in an Italian adolescent…
Psychometric Properties of the 5-Item Weiss Cocaine Craving Scale (WCCS) in an Italian Clinical Sample: A Study of Dimensionality, Internal Consistency, Predictive and Nomological Validity
Craving is a core characteristic in Cocaine Use Disorder (CUD) associated to relapse and treatment adherence. The assessment of craving is challenging due to the complexities arising from the various theoretical perspectives. Valid and reliable measures of craving are crucial in research and clinical settings considering the length to minimize the burden of patients. The existing craving assessment tools available in Italy are limited, with most …
Psychosocial risk and protective factors for youth problem behavior are associated with food addiction in the Generation Z
Objective: Food Addiction (FA) and other well-known risk behavior as substance misuse tend to co-occur and may share similar risk and protective factors. The aim of this study was to assess the association between the diagnosis/severity of FA and psychosocial domains typically related to risk behavior syndrome in a large, nationally representative community sample of Generation Z underage Italian students. Method: The sample consisted of 8,755 st…
Validation of the HRI-24 on Adolescents and Development of a Short Version of the Instrument
The Hikikomori phenomenon often starts during adolescence and, once it develops, it tends to persist. Thus, having an instrument specifically validated for detecting it at early ages could play a pivotal role to reduce the chronicity risk. This work aims to validate the 24-item Hikikomori Risk Inventory (HRI-24) on adolescents and to develop a short version of it. In Study 1, an exploratory structural equation model was used to evaluate the funct…
The role of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the treatment of behavioral addictions: Two case reports and review of the literature
A Retrospective Comparative Study in Patients With Cocaine Use Disorder Comorbid With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Undergoing an rTMS Protocol Treatment
Background: Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with high comorbidity with other psychiatric diseases, including cocaine use disorder (CocUD). Given the common fronto-striatal dysfunction, ADHD patients often use cocaine as self-medication for ameliorating symptoms by increasing striatal dopamine release. Yet, comorbidity with ADHD is related to poor treatment outcomes. CocUD has been treated with transcranial magn…
Long-Term Outcome of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in a Large Cohort of Patients With Cocaine-Use Disorder: An Observational Study
Background: Cocaine is a psychostimulant drug used as performance enhancer throughout history. The prolonged use of cocaine is associated with addiction and a broad range of cognitive deficits. Currently, there are no medications proven to be effective for cocaine-use disorder (CocUD). Previous preliminary clinical work suggests some benefit from repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) stimulating the prefrontal cortex (PFC), involved…
Problematic Use of Video Games and Substance Abuse in Early Adolescence: A Cross-sectional Study
Our findings show that PUVG is more likely in young adolescents at risk of substance abuse. Prevention schemes focusing on early adolescence should be based on a multicomponent intervention strategy that takes PUVG into account
