Table of Contents
Gambling addiction is a pathological dependence on various games, very often gambling, the formation of which occurs at the psychological level. A modern type of gambling addiction is an addiction to computer games.
Gambling addiction manifests itself in the constant need to participate in games, as a result of which they begin to dominate other life values, displacing the need for communication, the desire for career growth, material well-being, etc. Gambling addiction has a chronic course, and one of its main symptoms is the addict's inability to resist the temptation to start the game again.
Why gambling addiction occurs
This type of addiction can arise from a number of interrelated factors:
- the presence of an incentive, both negative and positive: winning and losing;
- mental characteristics of a particular person;
- errors in thinking that do not allow us to correctly assess the probability of winning.
The game is an opportunity to relive the bright moments associated with victory and defeat. Victory allows you to feel strong, gives confidence in your abilities, so you want to experience all this again and again. An equally strong influence on the formation of addiction can be exerted by watching movies, which very often contain stories about big winnings.
In schoolchildren and adolescents, an impetus to the formation of a gaming addiction can be a discussion among friends of computer games, ways of passing them. By the way, today not only children are keen on this, but adults. The virtual world of computer games gives users the illusion of superiority over others, a feeling of easy achievement of their goals, therefore it is more attractive than the real world.
Do not underestimate the mistakes of adults, which can be expressed in the form of too strict upbringing or insufficient control, attempts to instill in a child an excessive love of money, or too frequent discussion of options for easy enrichment.
