Perceptions among pathological and nonpathological gamblers

Article Abstract:

The perceptions of individuals while gambling on a video lottery terminal are evaluated. The primary goal was to compare the frequency of erroneous perceptions and of gambling-related perceptions among pathological and nonproblem gamblers. The theoretical and clinical implications of these results are discussed in order to improve the effectiveness of treatment interventions for pathological gamblers.

Awareness of independence of events and erroneous perceptions while gambling

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to verify if a reminder of the principle of independence, of events during a gambling game, influences the number of erroneous perceptions expressed by players. The results of the study confirmed both the hypotheses and it is expected that the interventions based on these results could significantly increase responsible gambling.
