A new study of over 2,000 teens finds those who play games with gambling-like elements are more likely to go on to gamble with money a year later🎲
Increased interaction with things like opening loot boxes, upped the likelihood of real gambling⚠️

Wist je dat lid zijn van een sportclub samenhangt met vaker online gokken op sport? Dit komt vooral door wat jongeren denken dat hun peers doen (descriptieve normen), niet door wat ze denken dat peers goedkeuren (injunctieve normen). ⚽

New publication! Using a survey in Flemish young adults (N = 1,290), this study indicated that sports club membership is positively correlated with online sports betting frequency, a relation mediated by descriptive norms. Injunctive norms did not mediate this relationship.

Over the past two weeks, our lab had a lot to celebrate!
We kicked off the new academic year with a team building day, reflecting on our goals, welcoming new team members, and working together in an escape room challenge.
Of course, we couldn't resist capturing the moment with a team photo! 📸

New publication! We validated the Dutch version of the Gaming Disorder Scale for Adolescents (GADIS-A), a reliable and valid tool for assessing gaming disorder in adolescents. It was also linked to the increasingly blurring lines between gaming and gambling: psychologicabelgica.com/articles/10....
