In this study, we surveyed 568 students to examine whether Inhibitory and Pros…

  • Relapse in disordered gambling

    Open AccessJamie Torrance, Mark Quigley et al.ARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2026

    Background Relapse is common among individuals undergoing treatment for gambling disorder (GD). Understanding the biological, psychological, and social (biopsychosocial (BPS)) factors that influence relapse in GD is important to guide clinical practice and improve treatment efficacy.

  • Attribute Conditioning is insensitive to cue competition and is not predicted by the Big Five Personality Traits

    Open AccessMark Quigley, Simon Dymond et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2026

    When a neutral stimulus is paired with a stimulus denoting an attribute, the neutral stimulus inherits that attribute (i.e., Attribute Conditioning; AC). The current experiments examined whether this effect is sensitive to cue competition, specifically blocking (Experiment 1, n = 245) and overshadowing (Experiment 2, n = 213), and whether personality traits can predict this effect ( n = 458). Participants were shown cartoon images of people (CSs)…

  • Adapting in times of crisis

    Open AccessScott Houghton, Frédéric Boy et al.ARTICLEInformation Communication & Society2025

    Gambling marketing on social media in countries like Great Britain (GB) is relatively well understood. Little is known, however, about how such marketing is impacted by major changes to the gambling landscape, like the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we assessed changes in the frequency, sentiment, and content of gambling marketing on Twitter by Great Britain (GB) gambling operators and affiliates. We analysed n = 353,134 tweets from 10 operators and af…

    Open AccessJess M Williams, Conor Heath et al.ARTICLEJournal of Contextual Behavioral…2025

    Gambling harm and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) appear to be prevalent among veterans. Globally, help-seeking rates for gambling are low, and veterans may experience obstacles in accessing mental health support due to stigma. Digital health interventions may increase treatment uptake and improve outcomes for veterans. Here, we report findings from a pilot feasibility study of a novel smartphone application-based intervention, “ACT Vet”, b…

  • ConGam-PS

    Open AccessJack McGarrigle, Lucy Dorey et al.ARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2023

    Contingency management (CM) is an evidence-based behavioral intervention highly effective at promoting behavior change. Despite evidence of its efficacy, the extension of CM to the treatment of harmful gambling has been slow. Wider dissemination of CM may be facilitated through identification of perceived obstacles and barriers. The present study developed items for a new scale, the Contingency Management for Gambling Provider Survey (ConGam-PS),…

  • Client Views of Contingency Management in Gambling Treatment

    Open AccessLucy Dorey, Jack McGarrigle et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Low levels of treatment access and poor retention among those with gambling problems suggests a need to improve treatment. Contingency management (CM) is a behavioural intervention involving the identification of target behaviours and the provision of incentives when targets are met. There exists a substantial evidence base for CM increasing abstinence and attendance in substance misuse treatment, but this has not been widely extended to gambling…
