Identify the three groups of gamblers and describe the differences between them.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: The three groups of gamblers are social, problem, and compulsive/pathological gamblers. They are similar in that all are participating in the activity of wagering to win money or goods. Social gamblers can control the time and money spent on gambling. They are the largest group of gamblers. Problem gamblers have experienced some consequence or multiple consequences from gambling such as neglect or debt, but they still believe they can stop on their own. This group differs from compulsive gamblers who cannot stop gambling on their own. They meet the DSM-5 criteria for a gambling disorder as they have suffered from significant gambling consequences.
