Maintaining and losing control during internet gambling
This paper provides an in-depth exploration of the psychosocial factors and processes related to maintaining and losing control during internet gambling. It explores features of internet gambling leading to loss of control, control strategies used by internet gamblers, and the perceived utility of online responsible gambling measures. Interviews with 25 moderate risk and problem internet gamblers yielded rich first-person accounts analysed using …
A comparative profile of the Internet gambler
Overcoming the methodological limitations of many previous studies, the present study employs a two-phased approach to data collection, and a weighted approach to data analysis, thereby obtaining survey data from 1954 Internet gamblers and 5967 non-Internet gamblers. Using this data, the authors examine: (1) the comparative demographic and health characteristics of Internet versus land-based gamblers; (2) the characteristics predictive of Interne…

Designing a Longitudinal Cohort Study of Gambling in Alberta
Problem gambling on the internet
The proportion of North American gamblers who choose to gamble on the internet is increasing at a dramatic rate. Unfortunately, however, relatively little is known about the characteristics of these individuals or their propensity for problem gambling. Past studies predict that internet gamblers are especially at risk for developing gambling problems and that a substantial proportion of them already can be properly classified as problem gamblers.…
How Much Money Do You Spend on Gambling?’ The Comparative Validity of Question Wordings Used to Assess Gambling Expenditure
Gambling expenditure is a commonly asked question in jurisdiction‐wide surveys of gambling behaviour and in surveys of household spending. However, the validity of self‐reported gambling expenditure is questionable due to the fact that these expenditures usually do not match actual gambling revenue. The present study asked a random sample of 2424 Ontario adult gamblers, in 12 different ways, about past month gambling expenditure. The relative val…
The Proportion of Ontario Gambling Revenue Derived from Problem Gamblers
The proportion of gambling revenue derived from problem gamblers is an important issue when considering the appropriateness of government-sponsored gambling. Figures obtained from prior research are tentative due to methodological problems and the mismatch between reported expenditures and actual gambling revenue. Using improved methods for assessing the prevalence of problem gambling and the accuracy of self-reported gambling expenditures, the p…
The Straightedge Youth Sub-Culture
Through a disproportionate focus on the common norms, values, and beliefs that apparently bind sub-cultures together over time and space, past sub-cultures researchers often problematically imply that the members of a given sub-culture form and maintain a roughly similar sub-cultural identity in roughly the same way. In reaction to such implications of identity homogeneity, this article explores the complexity of sub-cultural identity through a c…
Teenage Drinking and Driving in Rural Alberta
Alcohol use appears to be equally prevalent among rural and urban teenagers, but teenage drinking and driving may be more widespread in rural areas. An analysis of casualty collisions involving teenage drivers who had been drinking provides support for this hypothesis, revealing higher rates of such accidents in rural than in urban areas of the Canadian province of Alberta. A case study of rural teenagers in a single Alberta county replicates pre…
Threat transcendence, ideological articulation, and frame of reference reconstruction
Schism is the division of a social group into two or more relatively distinct and sometimes antagonistic factions. Recent case studies suggest that schism is common among contemporary deviant youth subcultures. Explanations of subcultural schism, however, remain largely neglected. Thus, in response to theoretical deficiencies among existing academic literature, this article elaborates a conceptual foundation for a theory of subcultural schism. Bu…
Nailed to the X’
In order to remedy substantive gaps in published academic literature, this article examines the American straightedge youth subculture. Conducting content analyses of straightedge music lyrics and other primary subcultural artefacts, this study delineates a history of the group since its appearance in the US during the early 1980s. Straightedge music lyrics suggest that the straightedge youth subculture has experienced a number of noteworthy tran…
The Indigenous, Nonracist Origins of the American Skinhead Subculture
Researchers claim that the American skinhead subculture largely has been a racist phenomenon since its emergence. Moreover, researchers posit that the American skinhead subculture emerged primarily as a result of social network connections between organized American racists and British skinheads. This study challenges and adds to these claims. In particular, analyses of music lyrics, primary subcultural artifacts, and secondary sources indicate t…
