Abstract

We were to investigate the gambling states of amateur gamblers in the cycle and motorboat races and to evaluate their subjective quality of life, self-esteem and social support by gambling severity. Participants were 1,493 amateur gamblers in the tarck and off-track betting located in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheong-do. By the DSM-Ⅳ criterion, we classified amateur gamblers into social, problem, and pathological gamblers and measured their subjective quality of life, self-esteem and social support and conflict. The results were as follows; In the level of subjective quality of life, social gamblers were higher than problem gamblers and problem gamblers higher than pathological gamblers. Social gamblers and problem gamblers had no significant difference in those of self-esteem and social support, but showed higher level than those of pathological gamblers. In social conflict, there was significant difference among the groups. Pathological gamblers showed higher level than problem gamblers and problem gamblers higher level than social gamblers. There were suggestions for the development of gambling addiction treatment program.
