Abstract

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati odnos između učestalosti sportskog klađenja,
traženja uzbuđenja i problematičnog kockanja kod studenata u Zagrebu te istražiti njihove
motive za kockanje. Analiza je, uzimajući u obzir kriterij da su sudionici studenti i da su barem
jednom u životu igrali sportsku kladionicu, provedena na 226 sudionika. Prosječna dob
sudionika je 21 godina i 9 mjeseci. S obzirom na spol, u istraživanju je sudjelovalo 181 (80,1%)
osoba muškoga spola te 43 (19%) osobe ženskoga spola. Podaci su prikupljeni putem online
upitnika koji se sastojao od Upitnika kockarskih aktivnosti, Ček-liste motivacije za kockanje,
Indeksa težine problematičnog kockanja, Skale traženja uzbuđenja te pitanja o
sociodemografskim podacima. Rezultati su pokazali da više od polovice studenata ima iskustvo
sudjelovanja u igrama na sreću, a kao najučestalije igre na sreću izdvajaju se jednokratne srećke,
nakon kojih slijede loto listići i sportska kladionica. Utvrđene su razlike s obzirom na spol,
odnosno da se studenti značajno češće klade nego studentice. Rezultati su pokazali da se
doprinos motivacije za sportsko klađenje pokazao značajnim u objašnjavanju učestalosti
sportskog klađenja, pri čemu je motiv kako bih bio što bolji u tome bio najbolji prediktor.
Prediktori motivacija za sportsko klađenje, traženje uzbuđenja i učestalost sportskog klađenja
pokazali su se značajnima u objašnjavanju problematičnog igranja, pri čemu je utvrđeno da je
najbolji prediktor učestalost sportskog klađenja. Motivi jer me to opušta i kako bih bio što bolji
u tome pokazali su se najboljim prediktorima problematičnog igranja.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between the frequency of sports
betting, thrill seeking and problem gambling among students in Zagreb and to investigate their
motivation for gambling. The analysis, taking into account the criteria that the participants are
students and that they played sports betting at least once in their life, was conducted on 226
participants. The average age of the participants is 21 years and 9 months. With regard to
gender, 181 (80.1%) male and 43 (19%) female participants participated in the study. Data were
collected through an online questionnaire consisting of the Gambling Activities Questionnaire,
the Gambling Motivation Checklist, the Problem Gambling Severity Index, the Sensation
Seeking Scale, and sociodemographic questions. The results showed that more than half of the
students have experience participating in games of chance, and the most common games of
chance are one-time games of chance, followed by lotto tickets and sports betting. Differences
with regard to gender were determined, that is, male students bet significantly more often than
female students. The results showed that the contribution of the motivation for sports betting
proved to be significant in explaining the frequency of sports betting, where the motive to be
as good as possible was the best predictor. The predictors of motivation for sports betting, thrill
seeking and frequency of sports betting were found to be significant in explaining problem
gambling, with frequency of sports betting being the best predictor. Motives because it relaxes
me and to be better at it proved to be the best predictors of problem gaming.
