Problematic technology use during adolescence: why don’t teenagers seek treatment?
No full textIn recent issues of Education and Health, I have briefly reviewed the empirical evidence relating to problematic use of technology by adolescents including online video gaming (Griffiths, 2014), social networking (Griffiths, 2013a; Kuss & Griffiths, 2011), and mobile phone use (Griffiths, 2013b). Most of the research studies that have examined ‘technological addictions’ during adolescence have indicated that a small but significant minority experience severe problems resulting in detriments to education, physical fitness, psychological wellbeing, and family and personal relationships (Griffiths, 2010; Kuss, Griffiths, Karila & Billieux, 2014). Given these findings, why is it that so few teenagers seek treatment? This article briefly outlines a number of reasons why this might be the case by examining other literature on adolescent drug use and adolescent gambling (e.g., Chevalier & Griffiths, 2005; 2005; Griffiths, 2001). Three different types of explanation are discussed: (i) treatment-specific explanations, (ii) research-related explanations, and (iii) developmental and peer group explanations

Gaming addiction in adolescence (revisited)
No full textGaming addiction has become a topic of increasing research interest. Over the last 25 years, I have written many articles on adolescent video gaming for Education and Health as it is one of the research fields that is constantly evolving. In fact, over the last decade, there has been a significant increase in the number of scientific studies examining various aspects of online addiction particularly among adolescents and young adults (Kuss & Griffiths, 2012; Kuss, Griffiths, Karila & Billieux, 2014). Although the amount and the quality of research in the field has progressed much over this period, it is still in its infancy compared to other more established behavioural addictions (such as pathological gambling). This article briefly examines (i) how adolescent gaming addiction research has changed over the last three decades, (ii) how online gaming addiction has gained genuine psychiatric status, (iii) excessive gaming as an addiction, and (iv) where the gaming addiction field is going
The developmental profile in children with autism spectrum disorder: analysis of selected clinical cases using the Griffiths III scales
No full textopenIl mio progetto per questo elaborato consiste nell’analisi qualitativa dei profili di sviluppo ottenuti dalla somministrazione delle scale Griffiths III a soggetti con disturbo dello spettro autistico.
Le scale Griffiths III (Green et al., 2016) sono uno strumento utilizzato nella pratica clinica per valutare lo sviluppo del bambino dagli 0 ai 6 anni di età; sono composte da 5 scale, ognuna rappresentante un ambito dello sviluppo del bambino. Le scale Griffiths III rappresentano un gold standard nella valutazione dello sviluppo dei bambini di età prescolare.
Il disturbo dello spettro autistico è un disturbo del neurosviluppo caratterizzato da deficit persistenti nella comunicazione sociale, nell’interazione sociale e pattern di comportamento e interessi o attività ristretti e ripetitivi (American Psychiatric Association, 2014). In Italia si stima una prevalenza di 1 bambino con disturbo dello spettro autistico ogni 77 (Scattoni et al., 2023).
Il mio studio nasce dalla volontà di osservare nella mia pratica clinica di terapista della neuro e psicomotricità dell’età evolutiva le conclusioni e i risultati ottenuti dallo studio pubblicato nel 2023 dal titolo “Developmental profiles of young children with autism spectrum disorder and global developmental delay: A study with the Griffiths III scales” (Taddei et al., 2023). L’articolo ipotizza l’esistenza di un profilo di sviluppo tipico che caratterizza i bambini con disturbo dello spettro autistico: questo risulta essere disomogeneo con maggiori deficit nell’area del linguaggio e della comunicazione e nell’area personale-socio-emotiva rispetto alle restanti aree dello sviluppo.
Il progetto è stato condotto presso il centro di riabilitazione neuropsichiatrica e di psicoterapia dell'età evolutiva Dosso Verde di Pavia per gentile concessione del direttore sanitario, del legale rappresentante e in collaborazione con i neuropsichiatri infantili dell’istituto.
Sono stati presi in analisi i profili di sviluppo di 10 pazienti con disturbo dello spettro autistico, di cui 7 maschi e 3 femmine, di età compresa fra i 18 e i 48 mesi
Why don't adolescents turn up for gambling treatment (revisited)?
No full textIn a previous issue of the Electronic Journal of Gambling Issues, Griffiths (2001) raised 10 speculative reasons as to why so few adolescents enrol for treatment programs when compared with adults. This paper explores the issue a little further with another 11 possible reasons. These are (i) adolescents don't seek treatment in general; (ii) adolescents may seek other forms of treatment, but gambling problems are less likely to be seen as requiring intervention; (iii) treating other underlying problems may help adolescent gambling problems; (iv) a dolescent gambling ‘bail-outs’ can mask gambling problems; (v) a ttending treatment programs may be stigmatising for adolescents; (vi) adolescents may commit suicide before getting treatment; (vii) a dolescent gamblers may be lying or distorting the truth when they fill out survey questionnaires; (viii) a dolescents may not understand what they are asked in questionnaires; (ix) screening instruments for adolescent problem gambling are being used incorrectly; (x) adolescent gambling may be socially constructed to be nonproblematic; and (xi) adolescent excesses may change too quickly to warrant treatment

On Griffiths and Gray's concept of expanded and diffused inheritance
No full textDevelopmental System Theory is a theoretical reinterpretation of biological phenomena challenging the conventional gene-centered account of development and evolution. In this paper, I focus on Griffiths and Gray’s version of Developmental Systems Theory and I particularly analyze their reconceptualization of inheritance. First, I present their concept of expanded and diffused inheritance; then, I examine and criticize their refusal of the multiple inheritance system model; finally, I present and contrast Griffiths and Gray’s extension of what they call the “causal parity thesis” from development to evolution. I argue that their proposal is an interesting and programmatic philosophical perspective on biological phenomena but, because of their commitment to holism, fails to provide both more heuristic tools for empirical investigation in biology and a more realistic representation of the biological world

Crime and gambling: a brief overview of gambling fraud on the Internet.
No full textAlthough there is an association between crime and gambling there is relatively little information and research on the topic. One area that appears to have become more prevalent over the last five years is that of fraudulent gambling activities on the Internet. This paper briefly outlines how many frauds and scams have moved into technological media such as the Internet and overviews a number of these including: (i) lottery scams, (ii) fake gambling site scams, (iii) betting software scams, (iv) gambling ‘bonus’ scams, (v) ‘twofer’ scams, and (vi) prize scams. It is concluded that gambling fraud on the Internet is a growth area because many gamblers themselves want to get a huge reward from a small outlay (just as the fraudsters do). As long as there are people who are prepared to risk money on chance events, there will be those out there who will want to fraudulently take their money from them. Given the complete lack of empirical data on these fraudulent practices, there is a need for research to be initiated in this newly emerging area of criminological concern
