This study examined the associations among thinking style (rational versus experiential), gambling related cognitions, and problem gambling severity. The participants were 70 female and 41 male regular gamblers who completed the Gambling Related Cognitions Scale (Raylu and Oei, Addiction 99:757-769, 2004), the Rational-Experiential Inventory (Pacini and Epstien, J Pers Soc Psychol 76(6):972-987, 1999), and the Problem Gambling Severity Index (Ferris and Wynne, The Canadian problem and gambling index: final report. Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, Ottawa, 2001). Rational thinking was negatively related to problem gambling severity. Gambling related biases increased with problem gambling severity but the strength of those biases was dampened by rational thought. The patterns by which gambling related cognition mediated the association between thinking style and gambling severity suggest that therapeutic interventions may benefit from a consideration of a gambler's thinking style.
本研究考察了思维方式(理性与经验)、与赌博相关的认知和赌博问题严重程度之间的关联。参与者为 70 名女性和 41 名男性定期赌徒,他们完成了赌博相关认知量表(Raylu 和 Oei,Addiction 99:757-769,2004)、理性-经验量表(Pacini 和 Epstien,J Pers Soc Psychol 76(6):972-987,1999)和问题赌博严重程度指数(Ferris 和 Wynne,加拿大问题和赌博指数:最终报告。加拿大药物滥用中心,渥太华,2001)。理性思维与赌博问题严重程度呈负相关。与赌博相关的偏差随着赌博问题的严重程度而增加,但理性思维削弱了这些偏差的强度。赌博相关认知在思维方式与赌博严重程度之间的中介作用模式表明,治疗干预可能受益于考虑赌徒的思维方式。
