Development of the Problem Gambling Behavior Indicator(PGBI)

The purposes of this study were to develop the reliable and valid Problem Gambling Behavior Indicator(PGBI). 249 Kangwon Land casino customers were interviewed about their behavioral experiences in the gaming venue and K-NODS(diagnostic criteria interview based on DSM-IV). 52 casino dealers and safety management personnels were interviewed about the probability and feasibility of 40 behavior indicators of PGBI as a focused group interview. The results of this study show that PGBI composed of 40 behavior indicators were highly reliable(α=.95). All 40 behavior indicators could differentiate between 'recreational or social gamblers', ‘problem gamblers' and 'pathological gamblers' group. Factor structures of PGBI were clearly divided into 5 factors: 'Excessive preoccupation on gambling'; 'aggressive acting out'; 'desperate crying for help'; 'borrowing money for gambling'; 'superstitious behavior'. Ideas on applications of PGBI as a educational and preventive instrument were suggested.
