Abstract

ABSTRACT The aim of the research was to learn about the specifics of motivation to gamble for retired men in Poland against the background of the severity of gambling problems. Gambling activity among seniors has not been studied so far in Poland, while global studies usually include seniors as a homogeneous group in terms of gender, which makes it impossible to recognize the gender-specific motivation. The qualitative study carried out in 2017 included 44 men aged 55–83. The recruitment took place in various gambling establishments in Poland. The study inclusion criteria was the subject’s retirement and regular gambling (once a week or more) at least six months before the interview. The thematic analysis was used to data analysis. Ten main motives and five parent categories of gambling motives among senior male gamblers has been identified. The most common motivation to gamble are factors from the self-gratification area. Challenge was the motivation least frequently mentioned by the sample. Non-problem gamblers are most often motivated by social factors, while problem gamblers are mainly motivated by financial reasons and to cope with difficulties. In Poland, a deteriorating financial situation at retirement age can be an important risk factor for gambling problems.
男性退休后的赌博——问题与非问题波兰赌徒赌博动机的定性分析
摘要:本研究的目的是了解波兰退休男性在赌博问题严重的背景下赌博动机的具体情况。到目前为止,波兰尚未对老年人的赌博活动进行研究,而全球研究通常将老年人作为性别方面的同质群体,这使得不可能认识到特定性别的动机。2017年进行的定性研究包括44名年龄在55-83岁之间的男性。招募是在波兰的各种赌博场所进行的。研究纳入标准是受试者在访谈前至少六个月退休并经常赌博(每周一次或更多)。数据分析采用主题分析法。在老年男性赌徒中,赌博动机的十个主要动机和五个父母类别已被确定。最常见的赌博动机是来自自我满足的因素。挑战是样本中提及频率最低的动机。非问题赌徒的动机大多是社会因素,而问题赌徒的动机则主要是经济原因和应付困难。在波兰,退休年龄时财务状况的恶化可能是赌博问题的一个重要风险因素。
