The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria and the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) in identifying Turkish pathological gamblers. Fifty-nine subjects participated in the study. The subjects were diagnosed as either pathological gamblers or not (comparison group) through the use of the DSM-IV criteria and were given the Turkish version of the SOGS. Four of the ten DSM-IV criteria were found to be problematic in the diagnosis of Turkish pathological gamblers. The data concerning reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the SOGS suggested that the SOGS can be used as a reliable and valid instrument in identifying Turkish pathological gamblers. Most (16 out of 20) of the items of the SOGS appear to work well in discriminating pathological gamblers from the subjects in the comparison group. In the case of the two DSM-IV criteria and the four SOGS items that failed to discriminate, cultural factors seemed to be responsible for the failure.
本研究的主要目的是调查《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版（DSM-IV）诊断标准和南橡树赌博筛查量表（SOGS）在识别土耳其病态赌徒方面的有效性。59名受试者参与了该研究。通过使用DSM-IV标准，将受试者诊断为病态赌徒或非病态赌徒（对照组），并让他们接受SOGS的土耳其语版本测试。结果发现，在诊断土耳其病态赌徒时，DSM-IV的十条标准中有四条存在问题。有关SOGS土耳其语版本的信度和效度的数据表明，SOGS可作为识别土耳其病态赌徒的可靠且有效的工具。SOGS的大多数项目（20项中的16项）在区分病态赌徒和对照组受试者方面似乎效果良好。对于两条未能起到区分作用的DSM-IV标准和四项SOGS项目，文化因素似乎是导致其未能区分的原因。
