An Investigation on Validity of The Gambling Attitudes and Beliefs Scale - the Korean Version

본 연구에서는 한국인 표집을 대상으로 도박 문제의 취약성을 가진 사람들을 잘 변별해주며 특히 병적 도박의 핵심 특성인 손실만회 행동을 잘 예언해 준다고 알려져 있는 GABS의 타당성을 검증해보고자 하였다. 본 연구를 위해 일반인과 대학생 총 947명에게 GABS, K-NODS를 실시하였고, 이들이 현재 여러 종류의 도박에 관여하고 있는 정도를 알아보았다. 자료는 상관관계분석과 일원변량분석을 통해 처리하였고, GABS의 요인구조를 알아보기 위해 탐색적 요인분석을 하였다. 요인분석 결과 GABS의 하위 요인으로 2개가 추출되었으나, 전 문항이 요인 1에 부하되며 요인 2의 설명량이 미미한 것으로 나타나 GABS가 단일 요인의 구조임이 확인되었다. 또한 GABS는 도박실태 및 도박중독 둘 다와 정적 상관을 보였고, 문제성 도박자와 병적 도박자들의 GABS 점수가 도박중독 위험집단보다 그리고 위험집단이 비도박자 집단보다 높았다. 본 연구를 통해 GABS의 타당성이 확인되었고, 따라서 이 척도의 활용성에 대해 논의하였다.

Abstract

The Gambling Attitudes and Beliefs Scale(GABS; Breen & Zuckerman, 1994) was designed to assess a latent affinity for gambling and chasing behavior as one of the central characteristics of the behavior of pathological gamblers. The purposes of present study were to investigate validity and to explore the factor structure of the GABS among 559 residents who live in the location of legalized casinos, and 388 college students who live in other city. The subjects completed three self-administered questionnaires(the GABS, K-NODS, and the frequency of gambling behavior). The results were as follows; Principal axes factor analysis supported the unidimensionality of the GABS. It was found that there was a positive relationship between the GABS and gambling-related problems and the frequency of gambling behavior. The subjects who belonged to problem and pathological gambling groups were higher on the GABS than the subjects who belonged to risk group and non-risk group of gambling. In conclusion, concurrent validity of the GABS with other assessment tools that focus on gambling-related problem was significant. It was suggested that the GABS may serve as a an index of gambling-problem severity as well as a general measure of affinity to gambling. The nagative impacts of legalized casino industry on community where the casino located were discussed.
