청소년기 사이버 도박 중단 경험에 관한 현상학적 연구

초록

The purpose of this study is to explore the experience how to stopping cyber gambling during their adolescence. For this purpose, the researchers conducted in-depth interviews with five participants who repeatedly engaged in cyber gambling during adolescence but have now abstained for over a year, focusing on their experiences of stopping. Focusing on how they managed to stop gambling during adolescence and to grasp its essence, Giorgi's analysis was applied. The analysis yielded 33 summarized meaning units, which were grouped into 17 sub-components based on common themes. These sub-components were then grouped into common themes within temporal and structural contexts, ultimately yielding eight themes:‘Gambling that began between a distant family and close friends’, ‘The online ecosystem becoming a conduit to gambling’, ‘Emotions and behaviors that fuel addiction’, ‘Gambling systems that fuel addiction’, ‘Quitting gambling by learning from pain’, ‘Gambling that can be stopped by receiving help’, ‘Proper economic values and positive consumption experiences’, ‘Opening myself up and looking elsewhere beyond gambling’. Based on the research findings, comprehensive yet specific recommendations and directions were proposed at the individual, environmental, and policy levels. These suggestions can serve as important reference material for studying improvements to eradicate gambling, which is becoming increasingly covert and diversified.
