Abstract:	The aim of this study was to explore the association between pathological gambling (PG) and anger by assess- ing whether psychopathology and personality are related to PG and to evaluate gender differences. The sample com- prised 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.
