Summary
This study looks at whether working unusual hours or having idle time at work makes people more likely to gamble in risky ways. Researchers will interview 25 adults who currently have or have had gambling problems and who have worked in the past year. The goal is to understand how work schedules, boredom, and personal traits like impulsivity interact with gambling behavior.
