How do former compulsive gamblers maintain abstinence from gambling? Forty-seven subjects completed a questionnaire for this exploratory study. Three variables were measured for their ability to predict the former gamblers' lengths of abstinence time: stage of ego development, as measured by the Loevinger (1976) Washington Sentence Completion test and the Kegan (1982) Subject/Object interview; degree of social support, as measured by a ten-item survey; and self-awareness of the process of changing addictive behavior as measured by the Process of Change Inventory (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1985).Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a How do former compulsive gamblers maintain abstinence from gambling? Forty-seven subjects completed a questionnaire for this exploratory study. Three variables were measured for their ability to predict the former gamblers' lengths of abstinence time: stage of ego development, as measured by the Loevinger (1976) Washington Sentence Completion test and the Kegan (1982) Subject/Object interview; degree of social support, as measured by a ten-item survey; and self-awareness of the process of changing addictive behavior as measured by the Process of Change Inventory (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1985).
520 $a The first chapter presents the argument, supported by a literature review, that compulsive gamblers may face a delay in ego development, contributing to the compulsive gambling behavior. The second chapter outlines the research design. The third chapter discusses the findings regarding the relationship between stage of ego development and length of abstinence time from compulsive gambling, concluding that a clear relationship was not detected. The Kegan Subject/Object Interviews revealed that most subjects remained in a lower stage of ego development than would be expected for the general population for their age group. More research following subjects over a period of abstinence from addictive behavior is needed to discover whether ego development increases with greater abstinence time.
520 $a The fourth chapter reports the finding of a positive relationship between subjects' feeling supported for changing compulsive gambling behavior and maintaining abstinence from that behavior. The subjects who felt most supported for change were more likely to have a greater length of time abstinent. This finding has implications for programs that use community as a means of producing behavior change.
520 $a The fifth chapter reports the finding that most of the former compulsive gamblers in this study have become more self-aware of their need to contemplate and take action to change their compulsive gambling behavior. However, no positive relationship was found between the stage of the process of change and length of abstinence time in this study. This chapter also discusses the process of changing from a state of denial about one's compulsive gambling behavior to becoming aware of the problem.
