Relationship between youth problem gambling and other risk behaviours among Croatian adolescents
The substantial body of literature confirms correlation between youth problem gambling and other addictive disorders, as well as socially risky and delinquent behaviours (e.g. Proimos, et. al., 1998 ; Volberg, 1998, Hardoon, Gupta & Derevensky, 2004 ; Mishra et al., 2011, etc.). General aim of this study is to explore the relationship between intensity of adverse psychosocial consequences related to gambling and intensity of self-reported risk/delinquent behaviour while controlling effects of gender, age and type of school adolescents attend. Research was conducted on a sample of n=2, 702 high-schools students (m=49.2% ; f=50.8%) in seven Croatian cities (Mage=16.51 ; SDage=1.17), from all grades in three types of schools (gymnasium, four-year vocational and three-year vocational program). Canadian Adolescent Gambling Inventory - CAGI (Tremblay et al., 2010) was used to asses severity of adverse psychosocial consequences related to gambling. Risk and delinquent behaviour questionnaire by Atlanta et al. (2005) was modified to measure the following five categories of behaviour: (1) vandalism, (2) thefts, (3) physical aggression, (4) school related risk behaviours and (5) substance use. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to compare intensity of risk/delinquent behaviour using combination of four different sets of independent variables: gender, age, type of school and gambling problem severity subscale categorisation (GPSS) on CAGI. Results show interesting effects of gender and GPSS in explaining differences in various types of adolescent risk/delinquent behaviour, confirming findings from some previous studies, but also empirically contributing to validity of different problem gambling theoretical models.
