Bias

Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • The Short Gambling Harm Screen (SGHS) is a primary tool for assessing gambling-related harm (GRH).
  • Concerns exist regarding the validity of SGHS items, potentially leading to overestimation of harm.
  • This study addresses criticisms by examining the SGHS's relationship with wellbeing and psychological distress.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate the Short Gambling Harm Screen (SGHS) against established measures of wellbeing and psychological distress.
  • To assess whether SGHS items accurately reflect genuine gambling-related harms.
  • To confirm the SGHS's utility as a screening tool for gambling-related harm (GRH).

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of survey data from 2,704 Australian adults.
  • Utilized the Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI) for subjective wellbeing.
  • Employed the Kessler-6 Psychological Distress Scale (K6) for psychological distress.
  • Compared SGHS scores with PWI and K6 scores to test criterion validity.

Main Results:

  • Each increase in SGHS score showed a corresponding decrease in personal wellbeing and an increase in psychological distress.
  • Gamblers reporting even one SGHS item had lower wellbeing and higher distress than non-gamblers and those scoring zero on SGHS.
  • These findings support the criterion validity of the SGHS scale and its individual items.

Conclusions:

  • The Short Gambling Harm Screen (SGHS) is a valid measure of gambling-related harm (GRH).
  • Results contradict claims that low SGHS scores do not indicate true harm.
  • The SGHS is a valid and innovative short screening tool for population prevalence studies of GRH.
