We examined the reliability, validity, and classification accuracy of the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) when adopted for use in Chinese. The DSM-IV criteria for pathological gambling served as the standard against which the classification accuracy of the SOGS was tested. A total of 283 Chinese adults in the community and 94 Chinese treatment-seeking gamblers were recruited. The internal reliability of the SOGS was satisfactory for the general sample and acceptable for the gambling sample. The SOGS was correlated with the DSM-IV criteria items as well as psychosocial and gambling-related problems. Relative to the DSM-IV criteria, the SOGS tended to overestimate the number of pathological gamblers in both samples. In general, we were relatively confident that individuals were not pathological gamblers if the SOGS scores were between 0 and 4 and were pathological gamblers if the SOGS were between 11 and 20. There was about 50-50 chance of being pathological gamblers if the SOGS scores were between 8 and 10. However, the probability of individuals being pathological gamblers was about 0.30 if the SOGS scores were between 5 and 7. We proposed a SOGS cut score of 8 to screen for probable pathological gambling in Chinese societies.
我们考察了 South Oaks Gambling Screen（SOGS）在被采用为中文形式时的可靠性、有效性和分类准确性。DSM-IV 病理性赌博标准被用作测试 SOGS 分类准确性的标准。我们招募了 283 名社区中的中国成年人和 94 名寻求治疗的中国赌瘾者。SOGS 对一般样本和赌博样本的内部可靠性都是令人满意的。SOGS 与 DSM-IV 标准项目以及心理社会和赌博相关问题相关。与 DSM-IV 标准相比，SOGS 倾向于在两个样本中高估病理性赌徒的数量。总的来说，如果 SOGS 得分在 0 到 4 之间，我们相对有信心认为个体不是病理性赌徒，如果 SOGS 得分在 11 到 20 之间，那么个体就是病理性赌徒。如果 SOGS 得分在 8 到 10 之间，那么个体成为病理性赌徒的可能性约为 50-50。然而，如果 SOGS 得分在 5 到 7 之间，那么个体成为病理性赌徒的可能性约为 0.30。我们提出了一个 SOGS 得分 8 的截断值，用于筛查中国社会中可能的病理性赌博。
