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:

  • Public Health
  • Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • The Spanish gambling industry shows sustained growth, raising public health concerns regarding emerging adults.
  • Emerging adulthood is a critical period for the onset of problematic gambling behaviors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of problem gambling among young Spanish adults.
  • To identify individual factors associated with at-risk or problem gambling in this demographic.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional e-assessment was administered to 2762 university and vocational school students in Spain.
  • Data collected included sociodemographic variables, gambling habits, and the Problematic Gambling Severity Index.

Main Results:

  • Prevalence rates were: 3.51% low risk, 2.14% moderate risk, and 0.51% problem gamblers.
  • Significant predictors of at-risk/problem gambling included early gambling onset, mixed-modality access, and recent gambling in casinos, sports betting, or electronic gaming machines.

Conclusions:

  • A substantial proportion of young adults exhibit low to moderate risk of problem gambling.
  • Public health interventions should target delaying gambling onset and restricting online gambling access.
