Abstract

This study investigates the multifaceted impacts of parental gambling on children across educational, cultural, sociological, psychological, and economic dimensions. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, grounded in a robust theoretical framework integrating Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory, Family Systems Theory, Social Identity Theory, Resilience Theory, and Goffman's Theory of Social Stigma. Quantitative data were collected through a validated Likert-type survey administered to 244 participants, while qualitative insights were derived from scenario-based techniques with a subset of 81 participants. The findings reveal significant disruptions in children's academic motivation and attendance due to financial instability and emotional neglect, alongside challenges in cultural identity and value transmission. Sociological impacts include heightened peer stigmatisation and social isolation. At the same time, psychological outcomes range from anxiety and depression to diminished self-esteem; economic instability further compounds these challenges, limiting access to essential educational and social resources. Notably, demographic factors such as parental age, occupation, gambling experience, and family size mediate these outcomes, underscoring the complexity of the issue. The study highlights the urgent need for targeted interventions to mitigate these adverse effects, including school-based programs, psychological counselling, and community support initiatives. By addressing the nuanced interplay between familial and societal dynamics, this research contributes to the development of evidence-based policies and interventions that enhance child welfare and family stability.
赌博父母和他们的孩子在土耳其社会:揭露教育混乱和补救途径
本研究从教育、文化、社会、心理和经济等方面探讨父母赌博对儿童的多方面影响。本研究采用混合方法,建立了一个强大的理论框架,整合了Bronfenbrenner的生态系统理论、家庭系统理论、社会认同理论、弹性理论和Goffman的社会耻辱理论。通过对244名参与者进行有效的李克特型调查收集定量数据,而通过基于场景的技术对81名参与者的子集进行定性分析。研究结果显示,由于经济不稳定和情感忽视,以及文化认同和价值观传播方面的挑战,儿童的学习动机和出勤率受到严重干扰。社会学影响包括同伴歧视和社会孤立加剧。与此同时,心理结果从焦虑和抑郁到自尊下降;经济不稳定进一步加剧了这些挑战,限制了获得基本教育和社会资源的机会。值得注意的是,诸如父母年龄、职业、赌博经历和家庭规模等人口因素会影响这些结果,强调了问题的复杂性。该研究强调,迫切需要有针对性的干预措施来减轻这些不利影响,包括以学校为基础的项目、心理咨询和社区支持举措。通过解决家庭和社会动态之间微妙的相互作用,本研究有助于制定以证据为基础的政策和干预措施,提高儿童福利和家庭稳定。
