Abstract

Gambling problem means that various aspects of an individual's life are negatively affected by gambling, and despite recognizing this, they cannot control their behavior or the desire to participate in gambling which also causes difficulties in life. The purpose of this study was to verify the effects of differential association factors and self-control on the gambling problem of juvenile currently under probation.
 A survey was conducted on students under probation who visit probation offices across the country. 113 samples were used for analysis. As a result of hierarchical regression analysis, gender and age, the control variables input into model 1, did not have a statistically significant effect on gambling problems, but the experience of witnessing a friend's gambling act, a differential association factor input into model 2, had a statistically significant effect. It was found to have a positive (+) effect. Also the self-control added in Model 3 was found to have a negative (-) effect on gambling problems, but the effect of the experience of witnessing a friend's gambling act was disappeared. In other words, when controlling for other variables, it could be said that self-control has a negative (-) effect on the gambling problem of juvenile delinquents. Recommendations related to the results and the limitations and significance of this study were dealt in detail.
