Abstract:

The psychosocial correlates of adolescent gambling behavior were assessed among 7th, 9th, and 11 th graders. Participants (N = 587) completed questionnaires concerning their gambling behavior, coping skills, locus of control, depression, and substance use. Adolescents were grouped into 1 of 4 groups based upon their performance on the DSM-IV-J (Fisher, 1992) gambling screen: non-gamblers, social gamblers, problem gamblers, and probable pathological gamblers. This research examined whether individuals belonging to the 4 groups differ with respect to locus of control, coping skills, depression,

Abstract:

The general aim of this thesis was to examine risk gambling in the general population from a psychological perspective. This was done in three studies targeting personality, risky alcohol habits and gambling motives, respectively. Initially, 19 530 randomly assigned Swedish citizens were screened for problem gambling via telephone using the two questions in the Lie/Bet questionnaire. This sample constitutes the basis for one of the studies in the thesis. For the other studies, individuals answering yes to one of the questions in the Lie/Bet questionnaire and agreeing to participate further wer

Abstract:

Gambling becomes a source of difficulties of varying severity for some individuals whereas it is a positive experience for most of other people. Although gambling continues to be an entertaining activity for the majority of gambling individuals, prevalence rates suggest that pathological gambling is not low compared to other types of diagnosis. Most of the data with respect to gambling is from Western gambling literature, whereas research investigating the associated features of problem and pathological gamblers are very limited in the Turkish sample.

Abstract:

As online casino and betting increases in popularity across the globe, the importance of green gambling has become an important subject of discussion. The Swedish betting company, ATG, realises the benefits of this and would like to prevent their gamblers from falling into problem gambling. To predict problem gambling, Bayesian networks were trained on previously identified problem gamblers, separated into seven risk groups. The network was then able to predict the risk group of previously unseen gamblers with an ac- curacy of 94%. It also achieved an average precision of 89%, an average recal

Background: Recent research into problem gambling (PG) has suggested many associated environmental, sociological, biological and psychological factors, specifically male gender, age, alcohol use, drug use, depression, anxiety, neuropsychological deficits and impulsivity. As yet, causal relationships remain to be established. Several theoretical models of PG have been hypothesised, with biopsychosocial approaches being favoured. Aims included; to identify specific predictors of PG in a bid to isolate potential causal factors ofPG and; to investigate the level of executive function in PGs and it

Ever since the National Lottery was introduced in 1994, there has been an increased prevalence of gambling in the UK.

The fastest growing form of gambling is internet gambling, however, little is understood in relation to the characteristics of internet gamblers, the psychosocial impact of internet gambling (e.g. problem gambling) and implications for

Under recent years the gambling industry has been moving towards providing their customer the possibility to gamble online instead of visiting a physical location.

This study combined the use of a single case experimental design with replications with the use of a grounded theory approach in a study of treatment-seeking problem gamblers. The sample for the single case experimental design was a case series of nine men meeting DSM IV criteria (APA 1994) for pathological gambling. They primarily gambled in off-course bookmakers and on slot machines, and had self-reported histories of problem gambling of between four and eighteen years duration. A cognitive behavioural approach to treatment based on that of Sharpe and Tarrier (1993) was utilised. This treatm

Abstract:

The last decade has seen a marked increase in gambling availability and participation. This increase is in part due to a rapid proliferation in digital platforms of gambling delivery, including online betting and smartphone betting applications. In turn, this rise in gambling availability and participation has led to an increase in the prevalence of gambling-related issues. This is particularly concerning, as relatively few problem gamblers ever engage in treatment, despite experiencing substantial psychological and social impairment as a result of their gambling.
