Abstract

This study aimed to examine the association between betting games and problem gambling among adolescents, with attention paid to comparisons by gender and school level. For this purpose, this study analyzed a sample of 3,653 adolescents from the 2015 Survey on Youth Gambling Problems. The main findings are as follows. First, experiencing online betting games compared to non-online betting games was associated with higher risks of being light and severe problem gambling among adolescents. Second, the associations between online betting games and problem gambling was more pronounced for male adolescents than for female adolescents. Third, the associations between online betting games and problem gambling was more pronounced for high school students than for middle school students. Based on the findings, this study suggested practical strategies to prevent problem gambling among adolescents.

본 연구는 청소년의 돈내기 게임과 문제도박의 관계를 검증하고, 성별 및 학교급별 차이 검증을 목적으로 수행되었다. 이를 위해 2015년 청소년 도박문제 실태조사에 참여한 청소년 중 지난 3개월 동안 돈내기 게임 경험이 있는 3,653명을 대상으로 분석을 실시하였다. 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 청소년의 온라인 돈내기 게임 경험은 중위험 도박 수준과 문제성 도박 수준에 정적으로 유의미한 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째, 온라인 돈내기 게임이 문제도박에 미치는 부정적 영향에 대한 성별 차이를 살펴보면, 남학생 집단의 문제도박 가능성이 여학생 집단보다 두드러지는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 학교급별 차이의 경우 고등학생 집단이 중학생 집단보다 온라인 돈내기 게임의 경험으로 인한 문제도박의 가능성이 더 높게 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과를 바탕으로 청소년의 온라인 돈내기 게임과 문제도박을 예방하기 위한 실천 전략을 제안하였다.
