“…showed that more than three-quarters of the respondents believed that problem gamblers must quit gambling completely to fix their problem ( Cunningham, Cordingley, Hodgins, & Toneatto, 2011 ). This classical definition of recovery was employed in several studies that included abstinence as part of recovery ( Granero, Valero-Solis, et al., 2020 ; Jiménez-Murcia et al., 2015 , 2016 , 2019 ; Walsh, Ciarrochhi, Piedmont, & Haskins, 2007 ), “(full) remission” ( Bormann, Allen, Shaw, & Black, 2019 ; Dannon, Lowengrub, Gonopolski, Musin, & Kotler, 2005 ; Vintró-Alcaraz, Munguía, et al., 2022 ), “therapeutic success” ( Echeburúa, Báez, & Fernández-Montalvo, 1996 , 2000 ), “full response” to treatment ( Dannon, Lowengrub, Musin, Gonopolsky, & Kotler, 2007 ), or as a “stable outcome” ( Hodgins, Peden, & Cassidy, 2005 ).…”

“…One main finding of this scoping review pertains to the persistence of the dogma of abstinence. Indeed, several studies defined “recovery” in terms of being abstinent (i.e., not gambling at all) ( Avery & Davis, 2008 ; Bormann et al., 2019 ; Dannon et al., 2005 , 2007 ; Davis & Avery, 2004 ; Echeburúa et al., 1996 , 2000 ; Granero, Valero-Solis, et al., 2020 ; Hodgins et al., 2005 ; Jiménez-Murcia et al., 2015 , 2016 , 2019 ; Vintró-Alcaraz, Munguía, et al., 2022 ; Walsh et al., 2007 ) or used abstinence as a benchmark to measure the effectiveness of an intervention ( Dannon et al., 2011 ; Hodgins & el-Guebaly, 2010 ; Jiménez-Murcia et al., 2007 ; Monnat et al., 2014 ; Oei & Gordon, 2008 ; Ouellet & Queloz, 2018 ; Sander & Peters, 2009 ). This interchangeability between recovery and abstinence is based on a traditional medical model of addiction, which is notably the approach taken by mutual self-help groups.…”

Background and aimsWhile the concept of recovery is receiving increasing attention in the context of gambling disorder (GD), no consensus has yet been reached regarding its definition. This scoping review aims to map the literature on GD recovery, identify gaps, and provide insights for a more holistic and patient-centred perspective.MethodsA systematic search of three databases was conducted (PubMed, PsycINFO, and ScienceDirect). Based on the method by which the results of these studies were produced, the studies included were sorted into four categories (quantitative, instrument validation, qualitative, and mixed studies) and subsequently examined using conceptual analysis.ResultsOne hundred thirteen articles were included in this research after the screening process. In the quantitative and instrument validation studies, recovery was defined or operationalized in terms of abstinence, the absence of a GD diagnosis, or mild GD severity, or by reference to treatment outcomes or controlled gambling. A meta-synthesis of the results of the qualitative studies revealed four core features of recovery (insight, empowerment and commitment, wellbeing enhancement, and reconsideration of the issue of relapse).DiscussionDiscrepancies in definitions, outcomes, and variables used were evident across studies. Additionally, the quantitative and standardized approaches employed in most studies exhibited severe limitations with regard to defining recovery from the subjective and multidimensional perspectives of people recovering from GD.ConclusionsThis lack of definitional clarity emphasizes the necessity for further qualitative research. This research should encompass multiple stakeholder perspectives to develop a working definition promoting recovery from a holistic, patient-centred, and tailored approach.

“…Hodgins (2012) and Hong (2009) observed that higher public and intrinsic religiosity were linked to less problematic gambling behavior. Longitudinal studies, such as those by Mutti-Packer et al (2017), also affirmed religiosity's protective role in adults and a higher likelihood of remission in adults with DSM-IV pathological gambling (Bormann et al, 2019).…”

Background: The relationship between religiosity and gambling behaviors presents a complex and multifaceted picture. Prior research has yielded mixed results, highlighting the need to examine existing literature systematically. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to explore the correlation between various levels of religiosity and gambling behaviors and attitudes among adolescents and adults. It also seeks to understand how socio-demographic, religious, and gambling-related factors, as well as methodological characteristics of studies, moderate this relationship.Methods: The review, including a meta-analysis, will be conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. It will include peerreviewed empirical studies involving adolescents and adults, and using measures of religiosity and gambling at the individual level. Studies such as meta-analyses, technical reports, study protocols, theoretical articles, preprints, conference abstract, book chapters, Ph.D. dissertations or MA theses and those reporting secondary data or involving gambling-like activities will be excluded. We will search Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, PsycTESTS, PsycTHERAPY, PsycARTICLES, ERIC, and Medline. Risk of bias in the included studies is assessed through established methods. The synthesis of results comprises two approaches: narrative synthesis, suitable for both qualitative and quantitative research, and a meta-analysis for quantitatively synthesizing correlations between religiosity and gambling. This dual approach includes tabulating summary data, checking for heterogeneity, and evaluating the impact of study quality on results.Results: Our preliminary search yielded approximately 370 articles searching title and abstract and about 1460 searching full text. After rigorous screening and quality assessment, the final selection will provide a nuanced understanding of the relationship between religiosity and gambling. We anticipate revealing the multifaceted roles of religiosity, including protective and risk factors across different populations.

Why religion and spirituality are important in human biological research

The study of human biology includes exploration of all the genetic and environmental influences on human variation and life history, including impacts of sociocultural and physical environments. Religious practice and spirituality may be one of these influences. There are more than 5.8 billion religiously affiliated adults and children, accounting for 84% of the world's 6.9 billion people. Furthermore, 70% of Americans consider themselves spiritual in some way, including 22% who do not consider themselves religious, and the numbers for Europe are lower but proportionally similar. Such a high rate of religious affiliation and spiritual belief suggests that religion and spirituality could be sociocultural influences on human variation, but human biologists have scarcely attended to their impacts, as indicated by the limited numbers of relevant articles in the two flagship human biology journals. In this article, we discuss why human biologists may have overlooked this important force for human variability and highlight foundational work from human biology and other disciplines that can give our colleagues directions forward. We review the impacts of religion and spirituality at population and individual levels and call for human biologists to attend to the many aspects of religion and spirituality that can impact human biology and are much more than simply influences of denominational affiliation.
