한국판 도박 태도 및신념 척도(GABS)의 타당도 = An Investigation on Validity of The Gambling Attitudes and Beliefs Scale - the Korean Version

다국어 초록 (Multilingual 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.
