This study aimed to examine the associations between Internet addiction and gambling craving with personality traits and psychological well-being (self-esteem and life satisfaction), controlling for gender differences. The sample consisted of 517 Spanish university students (28.6% males), aged 21–23 years (mean age = 21.53 years; SD = 3.76). Participants were administered the Internet Addiction Test (IAT), Gambling Craving Scale, Self-Esteem Scale, Mini-IPIP Scale, and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). The results show that Internet addiction is negatively related to self-esteem, satisfaction with life, and personality traits of agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience. In line with these findings, the results concerning gambling craving are particularly noteworthy, revealing significant negative associations with self-esteem, life satisfaction, and the personality traits of agreeableness and openness to experience. This pattern suggests that heightened craving may be linked to broader deficits in psychological well-being and adaptive personality functioning. Finally, the results indicate differences by gender when predicting Internet addiction and gambling craving through personality and psychological well-being. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
