Relationship between the Severity of Gambling Behavior and Suicidal Ideation in Gamblers : The Mediating Effect of Psychological Pressure in Debt related to Gambling and the Moderating Effect of Family’s Emotional Support
Abstract
This study was to examine the influence of the severity of gambling behavior, psychological pressure of debt related to gambling, and the family’s emotional support on suicidal ideation in gamblers. The purpose of this study was to identify the risk and protective factors related to suicidal ideation in gamblers. Data was gathered and analyzed from 179 gamblers who had visited legal gambling facilities, and counseling centers for gambling addicts. First, the results show that the severity of gambling behavior is a risk factor for suicidal ideation in gamblers. Second, psychological pressure of debt related to gambling mediated the relationship between the severity of gambling behavior, and suicide ideation in gamblers. We found a direct path of gambling severity to suicidal ideation, and an indirect path from gambling severity, through pressure of debt related gambling, to suicidal ideation. Third, moderating effect of family emotional support was found on the relationship between the severity of gambling behavior and suicide ideation in gamblers. Finally, the limitations and implications of this study were discussed.
