“…Figure 3.2 shows that a strong majority (71%) of individuals expressed an overall negative attitude towards gambling (i.e., scored less than three overall on the Attitudes Towards Gambling Scale). This is in line with previous studies internationally using this scale, which mostly find a negative attitude towards gambling (Hellumbråten Kristensen et al, 2022). See Figures A4-A6 for overall attitudes among those with PG, those who gambled and don't have PG, and those who didn't gamble.…”

The mission of the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) is to advance evidence-based policymaking that supports economic sustainability and social progress in Ireland. ESRI researchers apply the highest standards of academic excellence to challenges facing policymakers, focusing on ten areas of critical importance to 21st century Ireland.The Institute was founded in 1960 by a group of senior civil servants led by Dr T.K. Whitaker, who identified the need for independent and in-depth research analysis to provide a robust evidence base for policymaking in Ireland.Since then, the Institute has remained committed to independent research and its work is free of any expressed ideology or political position. The Institute publishes all research reaching the appropriate academic standard, irrespective of its findings or who funds the research.The quality of its research output is guaranteed by a rigorous peer review process. ESRI researchers are experts in their fields and are committed to producing work that meets the highest academic standards and practices.The work of the Institute is disseminated widely in books, journal articles and reports. ESRI publications are available to download, free of charge, from its website. Additionally, ESRI staff communicate research findings at regular conferences and seminars.The ESRI is a company limited by guarantee, answerable to its members and governed by a Council, comprising up to 14 members who represent a crosssection of ESRI members from academia, civil services, state agencies, businesses and civil society. The Institute receives an annual grant-in-aid from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to support the scientific and public interest elements of the Institute's activities; the grant accounted for an average of 30 per cent of the Institute's income over the lifetime of the last Research Strategy. The remaining funding comes from research programmes supported by government departments and agencies, public bodies and competitive research programmes.

“…Finally, older age and female gender were associated with more critical attitudes toward gambling when sportswashing is involved in the “external-factor” regression. These demographic groups have been found to have more negative attitudes toward gambling in general, which might explain why they are more negative toward the intersection of gambling and sportswashing as well ( Kristensen et al, 2022 ).…”

“…The individual’s level of gambling risk might affect both their attitudes and behavior toward gambling when sportswashing is involved. While findings are mixed, some studies have found that individuals with problem gambling hold more positive attitudes toward gambling overall ( Kristensen et al, 2022 ). Thus, individuals with problem gambling might prioritize their own gambling opportunities and thus be less critical toward and have lower likelihood of avoiding gambling when sportswashing is involved.…”

Sportswashing is defined as individuals, groups, companies, or countries/regimes’ involvement in sports to improve their own reputation and/or to distract from or normalize wrongdoing. This cross-sectional survey is the first empirical study on sportswashing in relation to gambling. The sample consisted of United Kingdom residents who reported past 12-month gambling (N = 786, 50% women, mean age = 45.6, SD = 15.2). We investigated how many were familiar with sportswashing and their attitudes toward gambling when sportswashing is involved. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted on the attitudes scale that was developed for the current study. Multiple regressions were used to examine if individual differences in terms of age, gender, personality, moral foundations, political trust and efficacy, and/or gambling risk were associated with such attitudes. Finally, we examined the percentage of people who avoid gambling on teams/events when sportswashing is involved, including group differences in avoidance and motivations for avoidance according to gambling risk. The results showed that only 32% had heard about sportswashing prior to the survey. CFA indicated that attitudes toward sportswashing and gambling as conceptualized in the scale used in the current study can broadly be categorized into two dimensions: How individuals relate to sportswashing when gambling (“self-factor”) and how individuals think gambling companies and regulators should regulate sportswashing and gambling [an “external-factor,” p < 0.001, CFI = 0.0.996, RMSEA = 0.090, 90% CI (0.077, 0.104)]. Multiple regressions indicated that measures of individual differences explained a significant amount of variance in self-oriented (F (17, 765) = 7.19, p < 0.001, adjusted R2 = 0.12) and external-oriented (F (17, 765) = 8.40, p < 0.001. adjusted R2 = 0.14) attitude toward gambling and sportswashing. Avoidance of betting when sportswashing is involved was reported by 43%. The proportion was lower among those with moderate gambling risk/problem gambling (35%) compared to those with no/low gambling risk (45%). It is concluded that further scale development could help elucidate individual differences in attitudes toward sportswashing and gambling. Sportswashing remains an important social issue, and the present study indicates that this has high relevance for the gambling field.

“…Sikap yang lebih positif dikaitkan dengan laki-laki, usia yang lebih muda, dan frekuensi perjudian yang lebih tinggi, yang mana perbedaan sikap perjudian mungkin disebabkan oleh variasi dalam tingkat keparahan masalah perjudian dalam sampel (Hellumbråten Kristensen et al, 2022). Meskipun demikian, secara karakteristik Perempuan mendominasi jawaban dalam studi ini, kemungkinan ini juga mempengaruhi jawaban yang dikumpulkan.…”
