Abstract

The purpose of this study was to construct and test a structural equation model for college student's gambling behavior. A structured questionnaire was completed by 246 college students to analyze the relationships between perspective factors(irrational gambling belief), psychological factors(depression, anxiety), social factors(parental monitoring, parental support, friend support), self-control and gambling behavior. The moderating effects of gender, friends and family's gambling behaviors were examined. The data were analyzed using SPSS 21,0 and AMOS 20.0 programs. Self-control and psychological factors directly affected the college student's gambling behavior, while perspective factors and social factors affected it indirectly. The model fit indices of the modified model were suitable for the recommended levels. The overall study findings suggest the need to develop a gambling prevention program for college students that reinforces self-control, parental monitoring and support, and friend support while reducing irrational gambling belief, depression, and anxiety. An approach that considers gender and a development of a group counseling program for family or friends are also required.

본 연구는 대학생의 도박행동과 관련된 선행연구와 문헌고찰을 토대로 가설적 모형을 구축하고 검정함으로써, 예방적 차원에서 학교 및 지역사회 정신보건 실무에 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행되었다. 대학생의 도박행동과 관련된 선행요인으로는 인지적 요인, 심리적 요인, 사회적 요인 그리고 자기통제력을 포함시켰다. 인지적 요인(비합리적 도박신념), 심리적 요인(우울, 불안), 사회적 요인(부모의 감독, 부모의 지지, 친구의 지지)은 외생변수로, 자기통제력과 도박행동(도박경험, 도박수준)은 내생변수로 하여 가설적 모형을 구성하였다. 또한 성별, 음주, 흡연, 인터넷 사용시간, 스마트폰 사용시간, 친구의 도박행동, 가족의 도박행동을 조절변수로 설정하여 그 효과를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 표적모집단은 국내의 대학생이며, 근접 모집단은 1개 광역도시와 4개의 지역도시에 소재한 7개 대학교에 재학 중인 남, 여 대학생 246명이다. 자료수집은 2016년 1월 25일부터 3월 31일까지 이루어졌으며, 자료분석은 SPSS 21.0과 AMOS 20.0 Program을 이용하여 공분산 구조분석을 실시하였다. 대학생의 도박행동을 예측하는 여러 요인들 중에서 자기통제력의 효과가 가장 크고, 예측된 모든 변수들에 대한 자기통제력의 매개효과가 나타났다. 따라서 대학생의 도박행동을 예방하기 위한 중재 개발 시 자기통제력을 증진시키는 방안을 우선적으로 고려할 것과 개인의 인지적, 심리적 요인과 사회적 요인들을 개선시킴으로써 자기통제력을 증진시키는 방안이 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 성별을 고려한 접근 및 가족이나 친구를 포함하는 집단상담 프로그램 개발이 필요할 것으로 본다.
