Abstract

This study examined the effects of irrational beliefs, impulsivity and happiness on problem gambling of Korean and Australian college students. Data were collected from 581 college students of Korea, and 100 college students of Cairns of Australia. As a result, The overall mean of the CPGI was significantly different between Koreans and Australians (t=-29.828**). As for classification of gamblers by sub-type of CPGI, the number of problem gamblers in Australians was 7.0% compared to 5.3% for Koreans, showing a significant difference. In Multiple regression analyses, irrational beliefs, happiness, and the frequency of gambling significantly predicted problem gambling of Koreans (R2 = 0.175 F = 23.441, p < .001). On the other hands, irrational beliefs and the frequency of gambling significantly predicted problem gambling of Australians(R2 = 0.368, F = 10.844, p < .001). Through this study, it was found that the factors affecting the problem gamblers of Korean and Australian are different. It is required to continue further education on gambling among young adults of Korea and Australia.

본 연구는 한국인과 호주 대학생의 비합리적 도박신념, 충동감, 행복감이 문제도박에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위한 연구이다. 설문지를 통해 서울 등 대학생 581명을 대상으로 자료를 수집하였다. 호주에서는 호주 케언즈의 S대학생 100명이 참가하였다. 한국인은 복권(32.7%)와 친목게임(30.2%)을 가장 많이 하는 반면, 호주인은 카지노(26.1%)와 복권(28.4%)을 많이 했다. CPGI의 평균은 한국인과 호주인 사이에 유의한 차이가 있었다(t=-29.828**). CPGI의 하위유형에서 문제도박자는 한국인은 5.3%인데 비해 호주인은 7.0%로 유의하게 차이를 보였다. 다중회귀분석에서 한국인의 비합리적 도박신념, 행복감, 도박빈도는 문제도박을 유의하게 예측하였다(R2 = 0.175 F = 23.441, p < .001). 한편 호주인의 불합리한 도박신앙과 도박빈도가 문제도박을 유의하게 예측하였다(R2 = 0.368, F = 10.844, p < .001). 본 연구를 통해 한국인과 호주인의 문제도박에 영향을 미치는 요인이 다르다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 한국과 호주의 청년들을 대상으로 도박의 폐해를 알리고 문제성 도박을 예방하기 위한 지속적인 교육이 필요하다.
