Overview

Validation study reveals robust psychometric performance of the PPCS-6 in gambling disorder, highlighting its utility as a clinical screening tool.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the psychometric properties, factor structure, and validity of the Spanish short form of the Problematic Pornography Consumption Scale (PPCS-6) in individuals seeking treatment for gambling disorder.
  • Assessed N=359 adults (92.2% men, mean age 39.5 ± 13.6 years) undergoing treatment for gambling disorder in Spain.
  • Administered the PPCS-6 alongside psychometric measures assessing gambling patterns, psychopathology, emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, and personality traits.
  • Applied confirmatory factor analysis and correlation coefficients to evaluate the dimensionality, reliability, and convergent-discriminative validity of the scale.
  • Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a unidimensional factor structure characterized by good model fit and high internal consistency.
  • Higher PPCS-6 scores correlated significantly with heightened psychopathology severity, elevated impulsivity, increased emotional dysregulation, and reduced self-directedness.
  • Scores demonstrated significant positive correlations with distinct motivational drivers for viewing pornography.
