This distinction discriminates between two different conceptualizations of problem gambling: one that problem gambling is defined by its addictive properties, the other that it is a continuum of harm.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Method<\/jats:title>\n \n Using The\n B<\/jats:styled-content>\n ritish\n G<\/jats:styled-content>\n ambling\n P<\/jats:styled-content>\n revalence\n S<\/jats:styled-content>\n urvey 2010, a nationally representative sample of the\n U<\/jats:styled-content>\n nited\n K<\/jats:styled-content>\n ingdom conducted by the\n N<\/jats:styled-content>\n ational\n C<\/jats:styled-content>\n entre for\n S<\/jats:styled-content>\n ocial\n R<\/jats:styled-content>\n esearch, five different taxometric analyses were carried out on cases from two problem gambling screens: the\n P<\/jats:styled-content>\n roblem\n G<\/jats:styled-content>\n ambling\n S<\/jats:styled-content>\n everity\n I<\/jats:styled-content>\n ndex (\n PGSI<\/jats:styled-content>\n ) and a measure derived from the\n DSM<\/jats:styled-content>\n \u2010\n IV P<\/jats:styled-content>\n athological\n G<\/jats:styled-content>\n ambling criteria. Two further analyses were conducted on the total scores for these measures.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n There was strong evidence that both scales were measuring a categorical construct. Fit indices consistently supported a categorical interpretation [comparison curve fit index (\n CCFI<\/jats:styled-content>\n )\u2009>\u20090.6]. The\n PGSI<\/jats:styled-content>\n analysis indicated the presence of a taxon (\n CCFI<\/jats:styled-content>\n s\u2009=\u20090.633, 0.756). The analysis conducted on the adapted\n DSM<\/jats:styled-content>\n \u2010\n IV<\/jats:styled-content>\n criteria indicated stronger quantitative support for a taxon (\n CCFI<\/jats:styled-content>\n s\u2009=\u20090.717, 0.811 and 0.756) but items probing a loss of control were inconsistent. The taxometric analyses of both scales support a categorical interpretation (\n CCFI<\/jats:styled-content>\n s\u2009=\u20090.628, 0.567), but extreme caution should be used due to high nuisance covariance.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n \n Two problem gambling screens (the\n P<\/jats:styled-content>\n roblem\n G<\/jats:styled-content>\n ambling\n S<\/jats:styled-content>\n everity\n I<\/jats:styled-content>\n ndex and a measure derived from the\n DSM<\/jats:styled-content>\n \u2010\n IV P<\/jats:styled-content>\n athological\n G<\/jats:styled-content>\n ambling criteria) appear to measure a categorical construct that taps into a categorical, loss of control model of problem gambling.
