Description of the research topic:
Behavioural addictions (internet addiction, hypersexuality, compulsive buying behaviour, work addiction, social networking addiction, online gaming addiction, exercise addiction and gambling) are disorders of the behaviour that show numerous similarities with each other as well as with chemical addictions, in relation to the symptoms presented (compulsion, circularity, negative consequences). Whereas these disorders do not form a homogenous group concerning the diagnostic system, the common nature of these behaviours – besides the similarities of symptoms – is also supported by various genetic, neurobiological and psychological studies. The objective of this topic is the scientific contribution to this branch of research, thus promoting the classification of these disorders and establishing the spectrum approach of behavioural addictions along personality dimensions.
