The present study examined the degree to which gambling behaviors and gambling-relevant cognitive distortions could be predicted by personality factors, gender, and familial history of substance use and gambling problems in a large sample of college students (N = 581). Results indicate that parental gambling problems and, especially for males, a propensity to experience negative emotions predicted time spent gambling and gambling problems. Negative emotionality, along with parental substance use problems, impulsivity, and being male predicted gambling-related cognitive distortions. The differing pattern for impulsivity with respect to behaviors and beliefs might be explained by the low accessibility of gambling venues for the student population. We compare the present findings with past studies examining gambling behaviors in adult populations.
本研究在一个大型大学生样本（N=581）中，考察了人格因素、性别以及家族物质使用和赌博问题史，在多大程度上可以预测赌博行为和与赌博相关的认知扭曲。结果表明，父母的赌博问题，尤其是对男性而言，体验负面情绪的倾向，预测了赌博时间和赌博问题。负性情绪，以及父母的物质使用问题、冲动性和男性，预测了与赌博相关的认知扭曲。冲动性在行为和信念方面的不同模式，可以用学生群体获取赌博场所的机会较低来解释。我们将目前的研究结果与过去研究成人赌博行为的研究进行了比较。
