What Variables Predict Endorsing Gambling As An Escape On The Gfa-R?, Jeffrey N. Weatherly, Katie B. Miller
What Variables Predict Endorsing Gambling As An Escape On The Gfa-R?, Jeffrey N. Weatherly, Katie B. Miller
Analysis of Gambling Behavior
The present investigation attempted to determine what variables would predict participants’ endorsing of gambling as an escape on the Gambling Functional Assessment – Revised (GFA-R). Study 1 employed 224 university students as participants. Results of a hierarchical linear regression showed that responses on the GFA-R escape subscale were predicted by their GFA-R positive reinforcement subscale, Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI), and South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) scores, but not by the risk factors of pathological gambling. Study 2, which employed 188 university students, replicated those findings and also found that participants’ self-reported locus of control and gambling expectancy scores, cumulatively, …
The Relationship Of The Gfa-R Subscales To Negative Consequences Of Gambling In A Sample Of Potential Problem And Pathological Gamblers, Jeffrey N. Weatherly Ph. D.
The Relationship Of The Gfa-R Subscales To Negative Consequences Of Gambling In A Sample Of Potential Problem And Pathological Gamblers, Jeffrey N. Weatherly Ph. D.
Analysis of Gambling Behavior
Previous research with the Gambling Functional Assessment – Revised (GFA-R) has found that respondents endorse gambling for positive reinforcement significantly more than as an escape, but that endorsing gambling as an escape is more closely associated with potential gambling problems than is endorsing gambling for positive reinforcement. The present study attempted to replicate these results in a sample of potential problem/pathological gamblers. Data from 25 respondents who scored three or more on the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) were analyzed. These participants scored significantly higher on the GFA-R positive reinforcement, than the escape, subscale. However, only GFA-R escape subscale scores …
