Bias01:22

Bias

4.5K
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...

Surveys02:16

Surveys

14.9K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Group Design02:01

Group Design

9.0K
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Types of Surveys

Surveys are essential for marking property boundaries near water bodies. Different types of surveys are defined, each with its own function. Land surveys mark the property boundaries, while route surveys determine the position of properties on nearby highways. Topographic surveys create maps by capturing the three-dimensional features of the land. Hydrographic surveys focus on the shapes of underwater areas and the movement of streams through the properties. Mine surveys determine the relative...

Convenience Sampling Method00:55

Convenience Sampling Method

9.1K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population.
Convenience sampling is a non-random method of sample selection; this method selects individuals that are easily accessible and may result in biased data. For example, a marketing...

Randomized Experiments01:13

Randomized Experiments

7.1K
The randomization process involves assigning study participants randomly to experimental or control groups based on their probability of being equally assigned. Randomization is meant to eliminate selection bias and balance known and unknown confounding factors so that the control group is similar to the treatment group as much as possible. A computer program and a random number generator can be used to assign participants to groups in a way that minimizes bias.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Gambling involves real or virtual money, with simulated gambling (SG) also known as social or play money gambling.
  • Understanding the link between SG and real money gambling (RMG) is crucial for public health and harm reduction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore correlations and transitions between simulated gambling and real money gambling.
  • To investigate the impact of SG on gambling-related harms and public health concerns.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of a national representative survey of 46,136 German internet users.
  • Subsample analysis based on simulated gambling participation.
  • Regression models to predict RMG frequency, SG participation, and problem gambling.

Main Results:

  • 54% of real money online gamblers (RMG) also participated in simulated gambling (SG).
  • 17% of the total sample and 54% of problem gamblers believe SG led them to RMG.
  • Problem gambling rates were 7% for exclusive RMG users and 33% for those engaging in both RMG and SG.

Conclusions:

  • A clear proximity exists between simulated gambling and real money gambling.
  • Simulated gambling can act as both a substitute and a primer for real money gambling, particularly for problem gamblers.
  • Findings underscore the public health implications of simulated gambling.
