许多有病态赌博史的人也有从事反社会行为的历史，这通常被解释为前者导致后者的结果。在越南时代双胞胎登记处的4,497对双胞胎中的7,869名男性样本中，作者检查了（a）PG与反社会人格障碍（ASPD）之间的联系，（B）PG与儿童行为障碍（CD）和成人反社会行为（AAB）之间的差异程度，以及（c）遗传和环境因素对PG与ASPD、CD和AAB相关性的贡献。PG与所有3种反社会行为障碍显著相关，PG与ASPD、CD和AAB的相关性主要由遗传因素解释。这项研究的结果表明，PG和反社会行为障碍的偶然性共同发生部分是由于它们具有共同的遗传脆弱性。在许多PG患者中观察到的反社会行为可能不能简单地解释为PG的后果。
Many individuals with a history of pathological gambling (PG) also have a history of engaging in antisocial behaviors, and this has often been interpreted as a result of the former causing the latter. In a sample of 7,869 men in 4,497 twin pairs from the Vietnam Era Twin Registry, the authors examined (a) the association between PG and antisocial personality disorder (ASPD),(b) the extent to which PG might be differentially associated with childhood conduct disorder (CD) and adult antisocial behavior (AAB), and (c) the contribution of genetic and environmental factors to the association of PG with ASPD, CD, and AAB. PG was significantly associated with all 3 antisocial behavior disorders, and the association of PG with ASPD, CD, and AAB was predominantly explained by genetic factors. The results of this study suggest that the greater-than-chance co-occurrence of PG and antisocial behavior disorders is partially due to their sharing a common genetic vulnerability. The antisocial behavior observed among many individuals with PG probably cannot be interpreted as being simply a consequence of the PG.
