Abstract

The widespread use of computers and the Internet has substantially changed the gaming environment during the past ten years. The gambling industry is no longer exclusive to land-based gaming establishments (such as casinos and racetracks). Today, a few keystrokes on a computer are all it takes to access gaming operations. Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and various other platforms constitute a particular form of access that has drawn more attention from academics in gambling studies. This increasing focus is partially attributable to the fact that social media sites have gained popularity as a means of accessing online gambling websites via hyperlinks hidden inside adverts. Users of social networking platforms can play free-to-play virtual gambling games using programmes. Virtual gaming platforms are the new name for these free-to-play simulation games of gambling. However, there is evidence to suggest that playing social casino games may serve as a "gateway" to real money gambling. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of deviant personas on online gambling behavior. By examining the relationship between deviant personas and online gambling, we seek to enhance our understanding of the factors that contribute to problematic gambling behaviors in virtual environments. Employing a robust methodological approach, this research amalgamates the analytical power of PLS-SEM (Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling) to explore the factors influencing the intention to adopt online gambling services. The data for this study were obtained by administering an online survey questionnaire to a sample of 325 aware customers of online gambling. The study's discerning insights have notable implications for the academic community, brand strategists, online game designers, and online gambling platform providers, offering valuable guidance for decision-making and strategy formulation within the burgeoning online gambling industry.

Digitale Therapie lindert Borderline-Persönlichkeitsstörung

Eine rein digitale Therapie ohne therapeutische Unterstützung kann die Symptomatik bei Borderline-Persönlichkeitsstörung bereits etwas lindern, auch scheint sie das Suizidrisiko zu mindern. Darauf deuten Ergebnisse einer großen kontrollierten Studie. Die Effekte sind aber eher gering.

Schadet Schichtarbeit dem Gehirn?

Eine große Registerstudie bestätigt, dass Schichtarbeit mit einem erhöhten Risiko für psychische und neurologische Erkrankungen einhergeht, sowie mit einer Volumenabnahme in Gehirnarealen, die für Depression, Angst und kognitive Funktionen relevant sind.

Starke Menopausensymptome: ein Hinweis auf kognitive Veränderungen?

Stärkere Beschwerden in der Perimenopause sind mit einer reduzierten kognitiven Funktion in den mittleren und späteren Lebensjahren assoziiert. Auch das Verhalten kann sich ändern, wie eine Studie zeigt. Beides steht womöglich für erhöhte Demenzgefährdung.

Was tun, wenn pneumologische Medikamente Psyche und Blutbild verändern?

Arzneimittel für Patienten mit Mukoviszidose oder pulmonaler arterieller Hypertonie wirken offenbar nicht nur auf die Lunge. Was es in der Praxis zu beachten gilt, wurde beim Pneumologie-Kongress erläutert.
