As technology continues to evolve, the accessibility of online platforms has heightened concerns regarding the occurrence and impact of online gambling among college students. This quantitative research investigates the interconnected dynamics of adolescent gambling prevention strategies, internet gambling among high school and college students, and the role of school bullying. Utilizing a purposive sampling technique, 800 valid responses were collected from a total distribution of 850 questionnaires (500 high school, and 300 college students). The data, analyzed using SPSS statistical software, yielded significant findings. The study validates a negative correlation between effective adolescent gambling prevention strategies and problematic gambling prevalence. It also reveals higher psychological distress and a negative correlation between academic performance and internet gambling frequency among college students engaged in internet gambling. Furthermore, a positive association exists between school bullying experience and adolescents' engagement in both offline and online gambling behaviors. Demographic factors such as socioeconomic status and ethnicity were found to moderate the relationship between adolescent gambling prevention strategies and gambling prevalence. A research novelty is introduced, demonstrating a positive correlation between exposure to pro-gambling advertisements on digital platforms and the frequency and severity of internet gambling among college students. This study offers insightful perspectives on the complex dynamics of adolescent behaviors, guiding the creation of specific prevention strategies and emphasizing the influence of digital advertising on internet gambling.</p>","PeriodicalId":47493,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Addictive Diseases","volume":" ","pages":"352-367"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142819481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Negative news and content related to these events can be easily accessed on social media, leading to the concept of doomscrolling. Doomscrolling is a recent phenomenon in mental health research and has not yet been sufficiently studied. Therefore, in this study, the longitudinal relationship between social media addiction and doomscrolling was examined. In this study, data were collected at two time points, time 1 (T1) and time 2 (T2), separated by a two-month interval. The study sample comprised 301 adolescents (48.5% female; 51.5% male) from 20 cities in Turkey. Participants were aged 12 to 19 (M_age = 15.55, SD = 1.09). The study employed a Cross-lagged path analytic model for the analysis. The analyses revealed positive and significant relationships between social media addiction and doomscrolling. It was concluded that at T1, addiction to social media had a positive correlation with doomscrolling at T2. Furthermore, the analysis revealed that social media addiction at T1 had a positive correlation with social media addiction at T2. However, the study found that engaging in doomscrolling at T1 did not significantly predict the development of social media addiction at T2. In conclusion, adolescents' social media addiction levels increase the risk of doomscrolling. These results demonstrate the importance of interventions that include social media addiction in the prevention and treatment of doomscrolling. Mental health professionals can provide interventions that include healthy social media use skills in adolescents to prevent doomscrolling.</p>","PeriodicalId":47493,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Addictive Diseases","volume":" ","pages":"377-385"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144086810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
