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...

Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

15.9K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Gambling-related harm extends beyond individuals to affect family, friends, and communities.
  • Limited population-representative research exists on harm to affected others (AOs) directly linked to gambling.
  • Previous studies have not utilized comprehensive tools like the 68-item Gambling Checklist for AOs within a broad harms taxonomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantitatively estimate the prevalence of AO harms across various domains.
  • To qualitatively explore the lived experiences of AOs affected by gambling harm.
  • To inform targeted interventions and support services for AOs.

Main Methods:

  • Mixed-method design utilizing quantitative data from 197 AOs and qualitative data from 20 AOs.
  • Data sourced from a subsample of the Fourth Social and Economic Impact Study of Gambling in Tasmania.
  • Employed the 68-item Gambling Checklist for AOs and semi-structured interviews.

Main Results:

  • Emotional/psychological harm was most prevalent (90.36%), followed by relationship (75.63%) and financial harm (60.91%).
  • Health (58.67%) and work/study harms (32.63%) were also significant.
  • Qualitative data revealed interconnected vulnerabilities across all harm domains.

Conclusions:

  • Gambling-related harm to AOs is widespread and multifaceted, impacting emotional, relational, and financial well-being.
  • Findings underscore the necessity for tailored interventions, public health initiatives, and integrated support systems.
  • Prioritizing psychological support, financial guidance, and early health detection is crucial for mitigating AO harm.
