Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les approches visant à conceptualiser les habitudes problématiques de jeux de hasard et d'argent (JHA) à l'adolescence se distinguent sur deux aspects. Premièrement, par la nature des variables impliquées dans la conceptualisation du phénomène; la plupart des approches intègrent principalement des variables de nature individuelle dans leur modélisation alors que les variables de nature sociales sont encore peu prises en compte. Le deuxième aspect concerne la distinction entre déterminisme et interactionnisme : plusieurs approches semblent s'inscrire dans un courant déterministe et peu d'entre elles s'avèrent considérer l'individu comme un acteur social dynamique et en interaction avec son environnement. Or, il est essentiel d'examiner le sens que revêtent les comportements de JHA du point de vue des acteurs et au regard du contexte social dans lequel ils évoluent afin de mieux comprendre comment ils s'inscrivent dans leur réalité. La théorie générale de la rationalité (TGR), de Raymond Boudon, offre cette possibilité. Cette étude qualitative vise donc à comprendre les rationalités sous-jacentes aux comportements de JHA d'adolescents considérés comme manifestant des habitudes problématiques sur ce plan? Cet objectif général repose sur quatre objectifs spécifiques : 1) comprendre leurs premières expériences de JHA ainsi que leur évolution, 2) situer les expériences de JHA à l'intérieur de leur contexte (contexte social de jeu, partenaires de jeu, perception de l'entourage, etc.), 3) décrire les bénéfices et les conséquences négatives liés aux JHA et 4) décrire leur perception quant au degré de sévérité de leurs habitudes de JHA. La thèse s'appuie sur une analyse secondaire de données collectées dans le cadre d'un projet de recherche pancanadien dont l'objectif était le développement et la validation de l'Inventaire canadien des jeux de hasard et d'argent chez les adolescents (Tremblay et al., 2010). Les données utilisées portent sur l'expérience des adolescents ayant des habitudes problématiques de JHA. Elles ont été récoltées dans le cadre d'entrevues semi-structurées réalisées auprès de 31 adolescents présentant des habitudes problématiques de JHA en traitement pour leur consommation de substances psychoactives (SPA). L'analyse des propos des adolescents révèle que les bénéfices associés aux premières expériences de JHA et à leur exacerbation sont de nature matérielle, émotive et sociale. Par ailleurs, les contextes physiques et sociaux dans lesquels s'actualisent les comportements de JHA sont généralement les mêmes que ceux dans lesquelles se déroule l'usage de SPA. À cet effet, trois types de relations entre usage de SPA et habitudes de JHA ressortent du discours des adolescents: circulaire (les deux activités s'alimentent mutuellement), hiérarchique (l'une prime sur l'autre) et tripartite (les deux activités sont financées par des activités externes, souvent reliées à la délinquance). Les contextes dans lesquels s'opérationnalisent ces relations contribuent à leur renforcement, mais ont également le potentiel d'en favoriser l'affaiblissement et l'extinction. Les résultats obtenus révèlent que les comportements de JHA des adolescents s'inscrivent à l'intérieur de rationalité de nature instrumentale, cognitive et axiologique et que ces rationalités modulent leur perception du degré de sévérité de leurs habitudes de JHA. À cet effet, la théorie générale de la rationalité permet un éclairage nouveau afin de mieux comprendre comment les habitudes de JHA s'inscrivent dans la réalité des adolescents et pourquoi une proportion importante d'entre eux ne perçoit pas ces dernières comme problématiques.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.

Book excerpt: As states have moved from merely tolerating gambling to running their own games, as communities have increasingly turned to gambling for an economic boost, important questions arise.

Its describes the effects of problem gambling on families, friendships, employment, finances, and propensity to crime. How do pathological gamblers perceive and misperceive randomness and chance? What are the causal pathways to pathological gambling? What do genetics, brain imaging, and other studies tell us about the biology of gambling? Is there a bit of sensation-seeking in all of us? Who needs treatment? What do we know about the effectiveness of different policies for dealing with pathological gambling? The book reviews the available facts and frames the intriguing questions yet to be answered. Pathological Gambling will be the odds-on favorite for anyone interested in gambling in America: policymakers, public officials, economics and social researchers, treatment professionals, and concerned gamblers and their families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic health planning, the cornerstone of initiatives designed to achieve health improvement goals around the world, requires an understanding of the comparative burden of diseases and injuries, their corresponding risk factors and the likely effects of invervention options. The Global Burden of Disease framework, originally published in 1990, has been widely adopted as the preferred method for health accounting and has become the standard to guide the setting of health research priorities. This publication sets out an updated assessment of the situation, with an analysis of trends observed since 1990 and a chapter on the sensitivity of GBD estimates to various sources of uncertainty in methods and data.

Download or read book Lifestyle Migration written by Michaela Benson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relatively affluent individuals from various corners of the globe are increasingly choosing to migrate, spurred on by the promise of a better and more fulfilling way of life within their destination. Despite its increasing scale, migration academics have yet to consolidate and establish lifestyle migration as a subfield of theoretical enquiry, until now. This volume offers a dynamic and holistic analysis of contemporary lifestyle migrations, exploring the expectations and aspirations which inform and drive migration alongside the realities of life within the destination. It also recognizes the structural conditions (and constraints) which frame lifestyle migration, laying the groundwork for further intellectual enquiry. Through rich empirical case studies this volume addresses this important and increasingly common form of migration in a manner that will interest scholars of mobility, migration, lifestyle and culture across the social sciences.

Download or read book Spaces and Identities in Border Regions written by Christian Wille and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial and identity research operates with differentiations and relations. These are particularly useful heuristic tools when examining border regions where social and geopolitical demarcations diverge. Applying this approach, the authors of this volume investigate spatial and identity constructions in cross-border contexts as they appear in everyday, institutional and media practices. The results are discussed with a keen eye for obliquely aligned spaces and identities and relinked to governmental issues of normalization and subjectivation. The studies base upon empirical surveys conducted in Germany, France, Belgium and Luxembourg.
