Abstract(s)
Esta dissertação visa compreender a adição ao jogo online, através de duas
perspetivas complementares que se congregam num estudo de caso.
Analisamos o discurso de um jogador predominantemente de Blackjack online
adicto a esta prática (F.) em processo de desabituação, e desenvolvemos a mesma
metodologia junto da mãe deste, enquanto fonte complementar de informação, através de
entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Desta análise emergiram resultados que clarificam os
fatores que funcionam como determinantes da adição, que a mantêm bem como elementos
indispensáveis para compreender a decisão de paragem do jogo. Nesta dinâmica
conjugamos a perspetiva de F e da sua mãe. A metodologia escolhida para análise dos
dados de investigação foi a Grounded Analysis Theory, partindo das vozes dos dois
participantes e tendo como objetivo a construção de uma narrativa alternativa e assim
contribuir para uma melhor análise de compreensão dos dados obtidos. Através de um
processo indutivo de produção de conhecimento organizado e obedecendo a uma
sequência que busca uma maior complexidade de integração, tem como objetivo final
gerar uma teoria sustentada nos dados recolhidos (Fernandes & Maia, 2001). Enquanto
metodologia qualitativa permite-nos aceder aos significados múltiplos que emergiram da
experiência destes dois participantes.
O jogo online sustentado na sua fácil disponibilidade tem como consequência
um maior isolamento do jogador, e uma vez que as recompensas financeiras são uma
possibilidade alimenta o ciclo do comportamento aditivo. A observância de problemas
físicos e psicológicos percebidos como graves, justificaram uma abordagem de
tratamento multidisciplinar, envolvendo ajuda farmacológica, psicológica e social.
Os estudos existentes sobre o jogo online são ainda muito escassos, justificandose
o estudo qualitativo na construção do conhecimento, pela análise mais detalhada dos
fatores que podem contribuir para uma melhor compreensão de todas as especificidades
presentes, numa perturbação aditiva ao jogo online.
This dissertation aims to understand gambling addition online, through two complementary perspectives that bring together a case study. We analyzed the speech of a predominantly online Blackjack player addicted to this practice (F.) in recovery process, and developed the same methodology applied to his mother as a complementary source of information, through semi-structured interviews. From this analysis emerged results that clarify the factors that act as determinants of gambling addiction, that maintain it, as well as some indispensable elements to understand the decision to stop the gambling. In this dynamic we combined the perspective of F and his mother. The methodology chosen for the analysis of research data was Grounded Analysis Theory, starting from the voices of the two participants and aiming to build an alternative narrative and so to contribute to a better understanding of the data analysis. Through an inductive process of knowledge production organized, and obeying a sequence that seeks a greater complexity of integration, we intended to generate a theory that could held the collected data (Fernandes & Maia 2001). The qualitative methodology allowed us to access the multiple meanings that have emerged from the experience of these two participants. Online gambling in its availability results in a greater isolation of the player, and because of the potencial financial rewards feeds the cycle of addictive behavior. The observance of physical and psychological problems perceived as serious, justified a multidisciplinary treatment approach, involving pharmacological, psychological and social help. The existing studies on the online gambling are still very scarce, justifying the qualitative study on knowledge construction, for more detailed analysis of the factors that can contribute to a better understanding of all the specifics dimensions presented in an online gambling addictive disorder.
