Individual, Family and Peer Variables Associated with Adolescent Sports Betting in Croatia
Today’s generation of young people in Croatia is the first growing up in a society where gambling is widespread, available and often socially accepted. Despite the fact that all types of gambling are prohibited for minors, they participate in these activities to a large extent, sports betting being one of the most represented games, especially among boys (Ricijas, et al. 2011.). Therefore, this research was conducted on a sample of N=1, 330 male high-school students from seven Croatian cities with the main objective to explore individual, family and peer variables associated with adolescent sports betting. In order to meet this goal, an extensive battery of instruments was used: (1) Questionnaire on basic socio-demographic characteristics, (2) Gambling activities questionnaire, (3) Canadian adolescents gambling inventory - CAGI (Tremblay et al., 2010.), (4) Motivation for gambling checklist, (5) Gambling beliefs scale, (6) Risk and delinquent behavior questionnaire (Atlanta et al., 2005.). The results show that boys who bet more intensely have developed more serious psychosocial consequences, are more motivated for gambling, and are more prone to cognitive distortions and normative beliefs related to gambling. Additionally, they are more likely to have parents who participate in games of chance and who are familiar with their gambling. The results will be interpreted in relation to the existing social circumstances and in the context of prevention/treatment interventions.
