确定赌博参与福尔斯是否属于基于技能和机会的类别，如果是，确定与这些不同类别相关的社会人口统计特征。对2005年北领地赌博流行率调查中在调查前12个月内赌博的所有受访者进行了横断面分析。因素分析，以确定是否机会与技能为基础的二分法描述的赌博参与的结构。赌徒偏好组的构建使用旋转因子得分的中位数。然后使用多项logit回归来确定解释变量和赌徒偏好类别之间的独立关联。技能和机会为基础的二分法没有描述的成年赌徒在北领地，澳大利亚的样本球员的喜好。受访者的性别、年龄、家庭收入、家庭结构和地理位置（获得赌博机会）都与不同程度的参与技能和基于机会的赌博活动有关。值得注意的是，35岁及以上的受访者在低技能/高机会参与组中的代表性明显过高，而在高技能/低机会组中的代表性不足。很明显，赌博一词是一个混淆的标题，隐藏了活动类型和参与者的社会人口特征的差异。对后者的研究提出了一些重要的问题，即机会在晚年生活中的作用，以及自决在其他群体，特别是年轻男子赌博中的作用。
To determine whether gambling participation falls into skill and chance-based categories and, if so, to determine the socio-demographic characteristics associated with these different categories. A cross-sectional analysis of all respondents to the 2005 Northern Territory Gambling Prevalence Survey who gambled in the 12 months prior to the survey. Factor analysis was employed to determine whether a chance versus skill-based dichotomy described the structure of gambling participation. Gambler preference groups were constructed using the median of rotated factor scores. Multinomial logit regression was then used to determine independent associations between explanatory variables and categories of gambler preferences. The skill and chance-based dichotomy did describe player preferences for the sample of adult gamblers in the Northern Territory, Australia. Gender, age, household income, household structure and the geographic location (access to gambling opportunities) of respondents were all associated with different degrees of participation in skill and chance based gambling activities. Notably, respondents 35 years and over were significantly over-represented in the low-skill/high-chance participation group, and under-represented in the high-skill/low-chance group. It is clear that the term gambling is a confounding rubric that hides differences both in the type of activity and the socio-demographic profiles of participants. An examination of the latter raises important questions about the role of chance in later life, as well as the role of self-determination in gambling for other groups, particularly younger men.
