Abstract
Gambling stigma research is rare. Randomly-assigned participants read one of four vignettes. Ratings of someone whose gambling disorder was described and labelled were negative, but no more negative than without the label, suggesting that labeling did not drive stigmatization. Participants rated both more negatively than moderate gamblers and non-gambling controls.
