R esearch has shown a link between gambling and many negative behaviours (such as stealing in order to fund the activity). However, the effects on aggression have often been overlooked.
Parke and Griffiths describe this as an exploratory qualitative study, stating that there were no specific hypotheses. They also describe it as a pilot field study, whose only objective was to record the antecedents (i.e. preceding events or ‘causes’) and consequences of each category of aggressive behaviour identified in a previous nonparticipant observational study (Parke and Griffiths 2003).
