dc.description.abstractThis project is a qualitative case study of one female who is a pathological gambler. It explores how gambling has affected her life by describing her life experiences and her perceptions of gambling. Three themes were identified: Gambling to Escape, Irrational Belief Systems, and Chasing the Lost Money. Themes are examined and discussed in relation to this woman's experience as well as to a broader context of other female gamblers. Directions for future research are presented.en

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
