Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Christopher Tricker"
Christopher Tricker's research primarily focuses on the psychological mechanisms underlying problem gambling, particularly in relation to altered states of consciousness and cue-reactivity in gamblers.
His notable study, published in 2016, investigated the relationship between problem-gambling severity and gambling urges in poker-machine gamblers, emphasizing how specific cues can trigger increased urges to gamble.
The findings suggest that higher problem-gambling severity is associated with a significant increase in urge in response to gambling cues, highlighting the need for targeted interventions in gambling behavior.
