- Blind Game: as atividades de jogo de azar online dos jovens portuguesesPublication . Farias, Ana Rita; Coelho Antunes, Ana CristinaOs jogos de azar (jogos a dinheiro) têm alcançado grande adesão e popularidade junto da população portuguesa. Se o perfil de jogadores e a prevalência na população são já conhecidos, as recentes evoluções e múltiplas ofertas e modalidades de apostas a dinheiro nas plataformas digitais têm vindo a reconfigurar comportamentos e a conquistar novos adeptos. Tratando-se de uma realidade recente e em mutação, os comportamentos de jogo a dinheiro online não estão ainda devidamente cartografados no contexto português. Nesse sentido, este estudo pretendeu examinar este fenómeno, baseado numa amostra de 2.028 jovens entre os 15 e os 34 anos, residentes em Portugal. Os resultados indicam uma prevalência significativa destes comportamentos, que dependem do género e da idade. Com efeito, a prevalência diminui à medida que a idade avança, com os homens a adotarem e a envolverem-se mais nestes jogos a dinheiro online, enquanto as mulheres apostam mais offline. A frequência com que estes jovens apostam a dinheiro online é tendencialmente baixa a moderada, os seus gastos são maioritariamente controlados e as apostas desportivas são as mais populares. Ainda assim, o mapeamento efetuado sugere a existência de motivos de preocupação para os pais, educadores e decisores públicos.
- Dataset of a national survey on online gambling activities among young people in PortugalPublication . Farias, Ana Rita; Coelho Antunes, Ana CristinaBackground Recent advancements in online gambling have significantly increased the popularity and participation in gambling activities among the general population, specifically the young generations. These changes are reshaping gambling behaviors, attracting a growing number of enthusiasts. This paper describes a dataset that maps online gambling activities among young individuals in Portugal, providing insights into their gambling prevalence, habits, behaviors, preferences, and potential antecedents and consequences of these activities. Methods A survey was conducted with a representative sample of 1,993 young people in Portugal, aged between 18 and 34, to gather data on their activities. This methodology involved a quantitative telephone survey conducted in March and April 2023, utilizing quota sampling to ensure representation across various regions. The data collection process employed Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) and involved rigorous quality control measures to ensure accuracy and reliability. Conclusion The dataset generated from this survey provides valuable insights into the patterns of online gambling activities among young Portuguese individuals. It allows researchers to explore potential risk factors, including gambling-related harm, and to understand the sociodemographic factors influencing gambling behaviors. The findings can inform interventions and policies aimed at mitigating the negative consequences of online gambling among youth.
- The impact of political brand activism on corporate reputation: the case of Portuguese brand activism in a war contextPublication . Lopes Miranda, Sandra Marisa; de Matos Miguel, AlexandraThe phenomenon of brand activism (BA) has been attracting the attention of scholars and businesses as a new and powerful strategy for brands to take a stand on sociopolitical topics and highlight their values, with high potential corporate gains. However, research on this topic is still at an exploratory stage and there are several companies and academics considering BA too risky for brands, especially on sensitive political topics such as war issues. Based on the theoretical perspectives of BA and its corporate impacts, notably in terms of corporate reputation, this article aims to study the impact of political brand activism on corporate reputation, analyzing the political activism of a retail company operating in Portugal—Auchan Retail Portugal (ARP), at the start of a particular war. A quantitative study was carried out, through the application of a questionnaire survey to 1,152 consumers of ARP, with the aim of analyzing the impact of Auchan’s political BA actions regarding a specific war context on its corporate reputation. The results showed that BA has a significant positive impact on the corporate reputation of ARP, thus contributing to a better perception of the potential of this strategy to improve corporate performance, by generating competitive advantages for brands.
