This pathway has not previously been tested in general-population data. A population-weighted Australian analytic sample (N=4,001) was used to test whether this structure holds empirically. A risk-weighted gambling involvement index was derived from form-specific frequencies, with greater weight given to forms most strongly associated with gambling problems. Weighted mediation models showed that gambling harms statistically accounted for the observed association between gambling involvement and reduced wellbeing: indirect effects through harms were consistently negative and robust to demographic adjustment, while direct effects of gambling involvement were essentially zero once harms were included. The pattern held for both an expanded 26-item harm composite and the shorter 10-item gambling harms screen (GHS-10), and was clearest for life satisfaction and mental wellbeing. These results provide the first cross-sectional pathway-based support for the structure implied by this definition in representative population data. As a corollary, they support the construct validity of direct harm screens, which behave as expected of measures occupying the harm position in this pathway. Population-level effect sizes were modest, reflecting the concentration of harm burden in a minority of gamblers, but the wellbeing deficit among those reporting harms was substantial.","PeriodicalId":48155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gambling Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148220350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many of these people are younger and this leads to consideration as to why these new digital markets might be particularly attractive to this demographic group. Here we propose a conceptual framework based on Korn and Shaffer's (1999) gambling epidemiological model to elucidate the specific vulnerability of emerging adults. Using the epidemiological triad, we analyze: (1) the Host, characterized by neurobiological asynchrony, individual differences in impulsivity and sensation seeking, Fear of Missing Out, and cognitive biases that predispose individuals to risk; (2) the Agent, where platforms implement a predatory architecture based on gamblification, variable-ratio reinforcement mechanisms, and dark patterns to foster compulsive trading; and (3) the Environment, defined by a digital ecosystem where finfluencers and the dynamics of tribalism (identity fusion) within unregulated digital communities suppress risk perception. The clinical and public health implications of this framework are discussed, positioning developments in the therapeutic approach to disordered gambling as a model for proactive regulation and prevention strategies to address the risks and harms associated with speculative crypto-asset trading.","PeriodicalId":48155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gambling Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148220398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the prevalence of AO by relationship type and socio-demographic characteristics, and assessed health outcomes across different AO categories in the general Swedish population. Data were drawn from the national survey Gambling and Health 2021, conducted by the Public Health Agency of Sweden. The sample comprised 7,343 respondents aged 16-84 years. Past year AO status was assessed for family members or close relatives, friends, and colleagues or fellow students. Health outcomes included indicators of mental, behavioural, and relational health. Associations were examined using adjusted logistic regression analyses. Overall, 11.1% of respondents reported that someone in their close social environment had experienced gambling problems at any point during the past 12 months, most commonly a friend (5.4%). AOs reported a higher prevalence of adverse mental, behavioural, and relational health outcomes than non-AOs. After adjustment, AO status remained associated with moderate mental distress across all relationship types, with additional associations observed for serious mental distress among family AOs. Behavioural outcomes remained elevated among family and friend AOs, including at-risk gambling and hazardous alcohol use. Relational outcomes showed the most consistent associations, including increased arguments across all AO categories, experiences of violence among friend AOs, and work-related conflicts, particularly among work/school AOs. The findings indicate that AOs constitute a substantial and heterogeneous group in the population and underscore the relevance of considering relationship type when addressing gambling-related harm.","PeriodicalId":48155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gambling Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148177025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study provides the first behavioral examination of the interplay among gambling severity, gambling-related cognitive distortions, temporal perspective, alcohol use, and chasing behavior in a sample of Italian adolescents. Participants completed the South Oaks Gambling Screen for Adolescents (SOGS-RA), the Gambling Related Cognitions Scale (GRCS), the Consideration of Future Consequences Scale (CFC-14), and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), and performed a computerized task assessing chasing behavior. Participants were randomly assigned to either a control or a loss condition. Logistic regression analyses indicated that illusion of control and present-oriented time perspective predicted chasing initiation, independent of gambling severity. The loss condition did not significantly influence initiation but did predict chasing persistence. Hierarchical linear regression further showed that chasing persistence was predicted by the loss condition, higher illusion of control and predictive control, stronger present orientation, and greater alcohol use, over and above gambling severity. Path analysis identified cognitive distortions as the primary mechanism underlying chasing persistence, exerting both direct effects and indirect effects through increased temporal myopia. Notably, gambling severity did not independently predict chasing once cognitive and temporal factors were considered. These findings suggest that loss chasing in adolescence may reflect a distinct behavioral vulnerability driven by distorted beliefs and present-focused orientation rather than overall gambling severity. Targeting predictive control beliefs and strengthening future-oriented thinking may enhance prevention and early intervention strategies for youth gambling.","PeriodicalId":48155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gambling Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148165119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding how managers perceive these phenomena is essential for designing effective preventive interventions in organizational contexts. This qualitative study explored the perceptions of 33 Italian managers regarding gambling, associated risks, and the role of personal devices. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. Seven themes emerged, organized into three main areas: (1) perceptions of gambling, including differences in prevalence, motivations for gambling, and perceived changes linked to digitalization; (2) perceptions of risk, highlighting both protective factors (e.g., education, awareness, controlled environments) and major risks such as social and family deterioration, economic difficulties, and illegality; (3) use of personal devices, with managers describing blurred boundaries between work and private life, alienating aspects of constant connectivity, but also perceived benefits in terms of efficiency and reassurance. The findings show that managers' perceptions are marked by both awareness and misconceptions, which play a crucial role in shaping organizational responses. Preventive strategies should therefore be grounded in how the phenomenon is actually perceived in workplace contexts, to ensure greater acceptability and sustainability.","PeriodicalId":48155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gambling Studies","volume":" ","pages":"697-714"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13269313/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145349155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, few studies have explored the underlying mechanisms. This study verifies the complete prediction process from stressful life events to problem gambling in the form of a quantitative study based on the structural equation modeling of gambling in Mainland China. Specifically, this study aims to explore the serial mediating effect of difficulties in emotion regulation and coping motives in the relationship between stressful life events and problem gambling. The participants in this study were 455 lottery gamblers from a province in Mainland China (Mage = 35.356, SD = 9.678, 32.967% female). They completed four assessments: the Problem Gambling Severity Index, the Holmes-Rahe Stress Inventory, the Brief Version of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, and the coping motives dimension of the Gambling Motives Questionnaire. The results showed that stressful life events had a significant positive predictive effect on problem gambling. Additionally, difficulties in emotion regulation positively predicted coping motives and mediated the relationship between stressful life events and problem gambling. Furthermore, difficulties in emotion regulation and coping motives played a serial mediating role in this relationship. However, coping motives alone did not significantly mediate the relationship between stressful life events and problem gambling. The contribution of this study is to elucidate the complete process by which stressful life events predict problem gambling, providing new insights and intervention strategies for the prevention of problem gambling in problem gamblers, including relieving stress through mindfulness, improving emotion regulation, and establishing correct gambling motivation. At the same time, it also fills the gap in the international gambling research that Chinese mainland samples are scarce.","PeriodicalId":48155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gambling Studies","volume":" ","pages":"749-765"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145846967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Little is known about whether collegiate esports (competitive video gaming) athletes share the same vulnerability. Additionally, existing research combines esports groups into a larger sample of involvement, which does not capture potential distinct behaviors. This cross-sectional comparative study aimed to address this gap by comparing gambling behaviors, gaming behaviors, and psychological characteristics of video gamers (n = 234), esports spectators (n = 137), and collegiate esports athletes (n = 116) from North America. An online survey was distributed to universities and collegiate esports communities through convenience sampling. All participants completed self-report measures assessing gambling behaviors, gaming behaviors, emotional regulation, and impulsivity. Kruskal-Wallis H-tests and post-hoc comparisons were used to assess group differences. Results show esports athletes significantly having the highest proportion of problem gambling (19%) relative to spectators (16.9%) and gamers (5.3%). Esports spectators significantly spent the most median money per day gambling (Median = 0.65), followed by gamers then esport athletes (Median = 0.00). Spectators had the highest problem gaming proportion (16.1%) than esports athletes (6.9%) and video gamers (3.4%). Video gamers scored the lowest on all subscales of gaming motives, whereas spectators reported highest motivations in escapism, coping and fantasy. Esports athletes' motivation was highest in social, competition, and skill development. Esports spectators reported the most difficulties in emotional regulation, followed by esports athletes then video gamers. Findings suggest that the normalization of gambling in esports could be associated with increased gambling engagement.
