Social Ecological Model of Problem Gambling : A Cross-National Survey Study of Young People in the United States, South Korea, Spain, and Finland

2021

Problem gambling among young people is an emerging trend globally. The online environment in particular offers various possibilities for gambling engagement. This is the first cross-national survey study using the social ecological model to analyze problem gambling, especially in the online context. The study aimed to analyze how different social ecological spheres explain problem gambling. Participants were young people aged 15–25 in the United States (n = 1212), South Korea (n = 1192), Spain (n = 1212), and Finland (n = 1200). The South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) instrument measured problem gambling. The regression models analyzed problem gambling with measures of intrapersonal, interper…

The Mediating Role of Psychological Distress in Excessive Gambling among Young People: A Four-Country Study

2021

Background and aims: Loneliness and a low sense of mastery are associated with excessive gambling, but the underlying processes of these relationships remain unstudied. Because psychological distress can increase vulnerability to excessive gambling, we investigated its mediating role in these relationships among young people. To meet the need for cross-country research, we also observed how these relationships occur in four countries with different cultures. Design, setting, and participants: Demographically balanced cross-sectional survey data were collected from 15–25-year-olds in Finland (n = 1200

"Se hetki muutti elämäni, halusin löytää vastauksia riippuvuuteeni" : narratiivinen tutkimus rahapeliriippuvuudesta toipumisesta

2017

Tämä tutkimus tarkastelee rahapeliriippuvuudesta toipumista. Tarkastelussa on, mitä tarinoissa kerrotaan rahapeliriippuvuuden toipumisen käännekohdista ja keinoista. Lisäksi tarkastellaan, mitä annettavaa näillä edellä mainituilla on sosiaalityön käytäntöihin. Tutkimuksen aineisto koostuu kuudestatoista tarinasta, jotka kerättiin kirjoituspyynnön avulla. Teoreettisena viitekehyksenä on narratiivisuus. Lisäksi taustateoriaa on rahapeliriippuvuudesta. Tutkimuksessa pyritään samaan ymmärrystä rahapeliriippuvuudesta toipumisesta, joten narratiivisuus sopii hyvin taustateoriaksi. Tarkoitus on saada kuuluviin niiden ääni, jotka ovat selvinneet rahapeliriippuvuudesta. Tutkimustuloksissa selviää, e…

Risk and protective factors for (internet) gaming disorder: A meta-analysis of pre-COVID studies.

2023

This large-scale meta-analysis aimed to provide the most comprehensive synthesis to date of the available evidence from the pre-COVID period on risk and protective factors for (internet) gaming disorder (as defined in the DSM-5 or ICD-11) across all studied populations. The risk/protective factors included demographic characteristics, psychological, psychopathological, social, and gaming-related factors. In total, we have included 1586 effects from 253 different studies, summarizing data from 210557 participants. Apart from estimating these predictive associations and relevant moderating effects, we implemented state-of-the-art adjustments for publication bias, psychometric artifacts, and o…

Ontological diversity in gaming disorder measurement: a nationally representative registered report

2022

Gaming-related health problems have been researched since the 1980s with numerous different ontologies as reference systems, from self-assessed ‘game addiction’ to ‘pathological gambling’ (in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders [DSM]-IV), ‘internet gaming disorder’ (in the third section of the DSM-5) and most recently ‘gaming disorder’ (in the International Classification of Diseases [ICD]-11). Our goal was to investigate how screening instruments that derive from different ontologies differ in identifying associated problem groups. By using four central screening instruments, each representing a different ontological basis, we hypothesized differences and similarities…

Measures included problem gambling, loneliness, COVID-19 worry, social support, and psychological resilience. Control variables included gender, age, and education.…
