Identifier	Thesis 1801
Author	Hard, Stephen F.
Title	Undergraduate Perceptions of Problem Gambling
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2005
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	A review of the literature on the gambling behavior of college and university undergraduates explores the prevalence of gambling and also the prevalence of what is variously referred to as problem, pathological, disordered, or compulsive gambling among undergraduates. Frequency, amount of money spent/won, social aspects, specific gambling venues, and the underage (illegal) gambling of undergraduates are examined. Gender, age, academic performance, race, family, religion, employment/income, personality factors, attitudes, perceptions, cognitions, motivation, and relationship to other unhealthy behaviors of the undergraduate gambler are investigated. A research project to determine student descriptive social norms of problem gambling was conducted as the first step in the development of a problem gambling prevention program at Central Connecticut State University (CCSU). An online survey utilized the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS; Lesieur & Blume, 1987) modified to determine respondent perceptions of the gambling behavior of their CCSU peers. As hypothesized, respondents (N = 329) reported statistically significant greater number of gambling venues used, greater gambling frequency, and higher SOGS scores for "a typical CCSU undergraduate" than for themselves. Also as hypothesized, a correlation was shown between increases in respondent number of gambling venues used, gambling frequency, and SOGS scores, and increases in perceived peer levels of the same variables. Observations are made on the basis of demographic characteristics of the sample especially regarding gender and age. Avenues for future research are suggested.
