James, R., O'Malley, C., & Tunney, R. (2014). On the latent structure of problem gambling: a taxometric analysis. Addiction, 109(10), 1707-1717. https://doi.org/10.1111/add.12648

Aims To test whether problem gambling is a categorical or dimensional disorder on the basis of two problem gambling assessments. This distinction discriminates between two different conceptualizations of problem gambling: one that problem gambling is...
