作者实证研究了与青少年问题赌博相关的几个社会心理变量之间的关系。参与者是7-13年级的2，336名学生，他们都完成了一份关于赌博活动，赌博严重程度，感知社会支持，药物和酒精依赖以及各种社会，情感和行为问题的问卷。至于赌博的严重程度，4.9%的青少年符合病态赌博的标准，8.0%的青少年被发现处于危险之中。与问题赌博相关的心理社会困难包括不良的家庭和同伴社会支持，物质使用问题，行为问题，家庭问题，以及父母参与赌博和物质使用。一组可能导致问题赌博的预测变量包括有家庭问题，有行为问题，吸毒或酗酒成瘾，以及男性。
The authors empirically examined the relations between several psychosocial variables associated with adolescent problem gambling. Participants were 2,336 students in Grades 7-13, and all completed a questionnaire regarding gambling activities, gambling severity, perceived social support, drug and alcohol dependence, and various social, emotional, and behavioral problems. With respect to gambling severity, 4.9% of adolescents met the criteria for pathological gambling, and 8.0% were found to be at risk. Psychosocial difficulties associated with problem gambling include poor perceived familial and peer social support, substance use problems, conduct problems, family problems, and parental involvement in gambling and substance use. A set of predictor variables that may lead to problem gambling includes having family problems, having conduct problems, being addicted to drugs or alcohol, and being male.
