Added template
Hi Lauren, I added the template for your chapter and also adjusted the heading accordingly, I hope this gives you a start on developing your chapter, it sounds interesting! --U3160212 (discuss • contribs) 01:56, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Information Contribution
Hi Lauren, really interesting topic! There's a journal article that looks at the motivational model of mood alteration and how this underlies gambling addiction [Stewart, S. H., Zack, M., Collins, P., & Klein, R. M. (2008). Subtyping Pathological Gamblers on the Basis of Affective Motivations for Gambling: Relations to Gambling Problems, Drinking Problems and Affective Motivations for Drinking. Psychology of Addictive Behaviours, 22(2), 257-268. doi:10.1037/0893-164X.22.2.257]. It is a slightly older article and also analyses the influence of substance use alongside gambling but it was quite informative in understanding the underlying motivations of gambling. There's also a really interesting TED talk regarding a personal experience of gambling that might be cool for your 'See Also' section! --U3143109 (discuss • contribs) 08:26, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Hey! Make sure you in-text reference every claim that you make, especially if it is not common knowledge, or else you may be marked down. Really interesting topice! --U3158984 (discuss • contribs) 05:49, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Lauren! I'm really enjoying your topic so far, you have covered it really well. I was thinking as I was reading it, that perhaps Mindfulness could be used in conjunction with CBT as a treatment measure so looked further into this. I found a few articles that might be of interest to you about this. Basically, it seems as though Mindfulness may be a good treatment style in the future but more clinical research is needed. Still an interesting approach though! :) https://journals.lww.com/journaladdictionmedicine/Abstract/publishahead/Mindfulness_and_Cognitive_Training_in_a.99454.aspx https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Rory_Reid/publication/280172469_Mindfulness_in_Patients_With_Gambling_Disorders/links/55d737f108ae9d65948d853b/Mindfulness-in-Patients-With-Gambling-Disorders.pdf http://www.gamblingstudies.org/jgcg/index.php/jgcg/article/viewFile/130/pdf_3 --Emily Ewart (discuss • contribs) 01:50, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi, this chapter was a good read. Upon reading it, my only suggestion would be that it seems a little redundant to say how the DSM 5 describes gambling addiction and then add how it was finally added to the DSM 5 in the next sentence. You could probably combine those two sentences into one or just mention that it's the first non drug related addition to substance disorders in its own sentence. Otherwise I enjoyed reading it and it flowed well. Good luck - U3144461 17:25, 21 October 2018

Hi, I'm Simon working on the behavioural automaticity section of the 2018 chapter. I think the topic I've covered relates to the addiction in general and how the brain works. Here are some topics I read over which might help you: - Automaticity of cognitive biases in addictive behaviours: Further evidence with gamblers. - https://canberra.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=medline9403145&context=PC&vid=61ARL_CNB:61ARL_CNB&lang=en&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&adaptor=Primo%20Central&tab=Everything&query=any,contains,Automaticity%20of%20cognitive%20biases%20in%20addictive%20behaviours:%20Further%20evidence%20with%20gamblers&mode=Basic - Attentional bias and addictive behaviour: automaticity in a gambling‐specific modified Stroop task - https://canberra.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=wj10.1046%2Fj.1360-0443.2003.00219.x&context=PC&vid=61ARL_CNB:61ARL_CNB&lang=en&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&adaptor=Primo%20Central&tab=Everything&query=any,contains,Attentional%20bias%20and%20addictive%20behaviour:%20automaticity%20in%20a%20gambling%E2%80%90specific%20modified%20Stroop%20task&sortby=rank&offset=0 - Compulsive features in behavioural addictions: the case of pathological gambling - https://canberra.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=wj10.1111%2Fj.1360-0443.2011.03546.x&context=PC&vid=61ARL_CNB:61ARL_CNB&lang=en&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&adaptor=Primo%20Central&tab=Everything&query=any,contains,Compulsive%20features%20in%20behavioural%20addictions:%20the%20case%20of%20pathological%20gambling&sortby=rank&offset=0

Hi Lauren, Really good article! I capitalised one of the words that needed one. Also the in text referencing I think may be incorrect in the case study example. I found this site that may be useful for a Ted talk. All the best! http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2016/02/how-to-cite-a-ted-talk-in-apa-style.html --Kunal Kumar - University of Canberra (discuss • contribs) 23:47, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

Article and comments
Hey Lauren!

You have a great topic development! I particularly like how you have addressed the different types of gambling. I see you have addressed some psycho-social factors that contribute to gambling motivation. I came across this thesis on gambling, which provides an overall literature review on gambling addiction and evaluates the topic in terms of psychological, biological and social theories. You may be able to search specific articles that this thesis sites and explore further.

https://digital.library.adelaide.edu.au/dspace/bitstream/2440/84264/8/02whole.pdf

I hope this helps with your 'motives to gamble section' - I think by covering bio-psycho-social factors that this is all encompassing, and would ensure you don't miss any important motivations.

Good luck with it!

Feedback: Very interesting topic, I look forward to seeing the end result! Just a suggestion, maybe you could create a sub-heading regarding 'Addiction' and define what addiction is, and look at the psychological theories for addiction, and maybe even add a case study or youtube video to illustrate this. That will help tie your three main ideas together (gambling, addiction and motivation) as separate concepts, and then you can talk about their effects on each other (how motivation impacts addiction, and how this consequently impacts gambling). I hope this makes sense and gives you some ideas to help further develop your chapter. Good luck --Abbsu3163507 (discuss • contribs) 00:57, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

This chapter is looking very interesting thus far. I think that in your 'What can be done section' it may be helpful to address preventative measures. I think it would be increasing to see what the individual can do, what the organisations that provides the gambling services can do and mental health professionals can do. I really like your quiz at the end. You external links, espcially to Lifeline, I think are really important. Great work TaylorMal (discuss • contribs) 01:14, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Hey Lauren, I just italicised your references for youǃ I realised I needed to fix mine and thought others may have forgotten too. I bolded references I thought were incorrect- you may want to have a lookǃ Good luck with the rest of it. --Caroline Gangotena (discuss • contribs) 11:01, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
