Griffiths. Cognitive Bias and Gambling
Description
Why are some people able to indulge in gambling as harmless fun while others become addicted? In this program Dr. Mark Griffiths, an expert in the psychology of gambling, explains the methodology behind his 1994 case study "The Role of Cognitive Bias and Skill in Fruit Machine Gambling." Focusing on possible differences between regular and irregular gamblers, Griffiths looks at what happens when people draw conclusions from what they want to believe rather than from actual evidence, and the implications of this for the understanding of cognitive psychology.
