Introduction Failures in cognitive and behavioural inhibition
are the core of mental disorders, but they are also part of
everyday life. Research on Game Transfer Phenomena (GTP)
has shown that images, sounds and thoughts from the game
manifest, and involuntary actions toward game-related cues are
performed, after playing. GTP is generally not associated with psy-
chopathology, substance use, distress or dysfunction but a small
number of gamers reported severe GTP (i.e. different types and
frequently).
Aim Understand the underlying factors (e.g. medical conditions,
drugs, problematic/gaming addiction) associated with experienc-
ing several episodes of particular GTP (e.g. hallucinations).
Methods A total of 1,782 participants who experienced GTP
“many times” or “all the time” was extracted from a larger sam-
ple recruited via an online survey. The 20 GTP-related items were
categorized into: (i) hallucinations, (ii) distorted perceptions, (iii)
dissociations, and (iv) urges/impulses.
Results Pearson’s Chi2 test showed that: (i) 18–22-year-olds
weremore prone to experience several episodes of GTP and females
were more susceptible to hallucinations; (ii) all four categories
were associated with mental disorders and distress/dysfunction;
(iii) drugs were associated with almost all categories with the
exception of distorted perceptions; (iv) visual disorders were
associated with hallucinations and dissociations; and (v) problem-
atic/gaming addiction was associated with all categories except
urges/impulses.
Conclusions The findings suggest that individuals with men-
tal disorders are more prone to experience several episodes
of GTP, which can lead to distress/dysfunction. Substance use
appears relevant but not for all manifestations of recurrent GTP.
The relation between gaming disorder and GTP requires further
investigation.

Introduction Chronic diseases such as childhood diabetes melli-
tus constitute a challenge for both the affected children and their
families. Childhood diabetes mellitus is characterized by complex
therapeutic management and has a profound physical and psycho-
logical impact on the whole family and a number of losses for the
parents.
Aimand objectives To recognize and quantify the factors affecting
shame feelings for parents of children with diabetes mellitus.
Method A cross-sectional design was performed. A sample of
316 parents (110 men–206 women, mean age 40.6 years, SD = 6.0
ranged 17–57) participated to the present study. The questionnaire
included: (a) social-demographic characteristics, (b) The Other As
Shamer Scale (OAS), (c) The Experience of Shame Scale (ESS). SPSS
for Windows 20.0 was used for the statistical analysis.
Results Age and the place of residence of the parents, the duration
and the severity of disease were identified as significant multivari-
ate factors on internal and external shame.
Conclusion Feeling of shame consist a significant psychological
burden of the parents with children suffering from diabetes mel-
litus. Screening for psychological distress in parents of children
is indicated, and preventive interventions are needed, targeted
according to the increased needs as suggested in the research
results.

Introduction It is reported in global literature that Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) may cause a wide range of
psychological effects, some of them not fully explored. The aim of
this study is to investigate if patients with COPD experience intense
feelings of shame.
Objectives To find differences in shame experience between
males and females, and if there is a correlation of shame with other
socio-economic factors.
Method Using the “Experience of Shame Scale” questionnaire
(ESS) in 191 patients with COPD (104 men and 87 women) treated
in Primary Health Care services in Greece.
Results Statistical analysis showed relatively low scores (M 39.5
sd 14.9) for the experience of shame in COPD patients. There is
no statistically significant difference of shame for marital status,
education level or disease stage. Statistically significant differ-
ence shown between males and females (bodily shame P : 0.001,
total shame P: 0.031), and between smokers and those who quit
smoking. (characterological shame: P : 0.007 behavioral shame P :
0.030, total shame P: 0.009). Also statistically significant difference
appears for bodily shame among Body Mass Index (BMI) groups (P :
009) and economic status of the patients ( P: 0.008).
Conclusions Patients with COPD seem to have not heavy burden
with experience of shame. Any associations of shame with some
patient groups are rather expected for cultural and social reasons.
