The aim of this study was to explore the association between pathological gambling (PG) and anger by assessing whether psychopathology and personality are related to PG and to evaluate gender differences. The sample comprised 71 PGs and 37 healthy controls. Anger, psychopathology and personality were assessed with the STAXI-2, SCL-90-R and TCI-R respectively. Gender did not affect anger expression after stratifying by diagnostic condition (p >.05). Among PG patients, anger, psychopathology and personality measures were correlated with good effect-size (r >.30). Scores in the Anger Temperament (B = 0.21, p =.038) and Anger External-Expression (B = 0.27, p =.029) scales were positively associated with PG severity scores. Anger expression in PG should be considered in future treatment programs.
