Abstract: | In the United States there has come increasing calls to restrict or ban gambling advertising. Little is known about what motivates people to support such restrictions. One recent theory, the third-person effect, offers a possible explanation. It suggests that people will overestimate the negative messages'effect on others relative to themselves. |
