Differences in Implicit Attitudes Toward Gambling Depending on The Problem of Gambling
Abstract
Having a positive attitude towards gambling is an important factor that determines whether gambling addiction continues to relapses. A person’s attitude toward gambling can be explicitly evaluated using self-report scales. However, explicit attitudes can be automatically manipulated in conscious awareness. Implicit attitudes, on the other hand, are automatically activated and can influence behavior outside the boundaries of consciousness. Thus, the aim of study was to investigate the differences between implicit and explicit attitudes toward gambling in accordance to the severity of gambling using the Gambling-Implicit Association Test (G-IAT) and self-report scales. Participants consisted of 42 male undergraduates from 332 undergraduates who have experienced gambling at least once. They were divided into two groups: a high severity gambling group (N=23) and a low severity gambling group (N=19). Their explicit attitudes towards gambling was assessed using the Gambling Attitudes and Beliefs Scale. The participants' implicit attitudes toward gambling were evaluated using the G-IAT. According to the results of implicit attitudes, the high severity gambling group had more positive attitudes toward gambling than the low severity gambling group. However, there were no differences in the explicit attitudes toward gambling between the groups. These results indicated that individuals with high severity of gambling show differences in implicit and explicit attitudes. Therefore, it may be necessary to assess implicit and automatic attitudes independently of social desirability when evaluating the severity of gambling.
