Tarred with the same brush: An initial inquiry into courtesy stigma and problem gambling by Matthew D. Sanscartier, Jason D. Edgerton, Derek Chadee, Lance W. Roberts

“…Results: Problem gambling by a family member elicits more shame/embarrassment (M = 1.75) than using a wheelchair (M = 1.15) and having a mental illness (M = 1.22), but less shame than having a drug problem (M = 2.12) and on par with having an alcohol problem (M = 1.79, ns). With respect to courtesy stigma around problem gambling, the extents to which one considers various activities ‘gambling’ (b = -0.031, B = -0.068), one gambles him or herself (b = -0.015, B = -0.127), and the quality of experience with gambling (i.e. positive/negative; b = -0.038 B = -0.095) impacts potential embarrassment of a family member with a gambling problem. …”
