TL;DR: The literature that has examined the epidemiology, aetiology and environmental factors implicated in comorbid smoking and gambling, as well as implications for treatment outcomes, are stressed.

TL;DR: In this paper, self-critical perfectionism (i.e., harsh criticism of one's actions, negative reactions to perceived failures, and extreme concerns over others' evaluations) and depressive symptoms were conceptualized as a unified, interlocking syndrome wherein self-criticism and depression reciprocally influence each other over time.

TL;DR: The existential model of perfectionism and depressive symptoms (EMPDS) as mentioned in this paper is a conceptual model aimed at explaining why perfectionistic concerns are a putative risk factor for depressive symptoms, including negative reactions to failures, concerns over others' criticism and expectations, and nagging self-doubts.

TL;DR: The reformulated PMOBE offers a framework for understanding how key contributors to binge eating work together to generate and to maintain binge eating and predicted binge eating, but not binge drinking, supporting the specificity of this model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors test the proposed four-factor structure of the Gambling Motives Questionnaire (GMQ), determine if GMQ-F responses were invariant across sex, and test a structural model that specifies links between motives, gambling frequency and problem gambling severity.
