本研究探讨了非裔美国青年赌徒在一生和最近物质使用/内化行为、童年外化行为和赌博偏好方面的性别差异。数据来自对452名城市非裔美国年轻人的社区样本的前瞻性研究，他们从一年级开始，并被跟踪了十年。在男性中，赌博与老师对童年外化行为的高评价有关，在两性中，父母对童年冲动和多动症的评价也很高。内化行为与女性赌博有关。在赌徒的物质使用/终生品行障碍方面，没有发现男女差异。赌博偏好/频率因性别而异。
This study explores gender differences in lifetime and recent substance use/internalizing behavior, childhood externalizing behavior, and gambling preferences among African-American youth gamblers. Data are from a prospective study of a community sample of 452 urban African-American youths who began at entry into first grade and were followed for ten years. Gambling was associated with high teacher ratings of childhood externalizing behaviors among males and with high parent ratings of childhood impulsivity and hyperactivity among both genders. Internalizing behavior was associated with female gambling. No male-female differences in substance use/lifetime conduct disorder among gamblers were noted. Gambling preferences/frequency differed across genders.
