Summary

This completed study from Nantes University Hospital looked at 144 people to see if there is a link between materialism (how much someone values money and possessions) and problem gambling. Researchers compared a group of problem gamblers with a group of non-problem gamblers using a questionnaire called the Material Value Scale. The goal was to understand if higher materialism is tied to gambling addiction.
