접근성에 따른 청소년 내기행동의 경로분석

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to provide data for an integrated understanding of youth betting behaviors and customized interventions for each path by identifying the paths of youth betting behaviors by accessibility level. Methods For this purpose, data from 571 adolescents residing across the country were collected, descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were performed with SPSS 21.0, and latent profile analysis was performed using the ‘tidyLPA’ package in R version 3.6.1 environment. Next, the pathways of neglect and abuse on depression, impulsivity, betting behavior expectations, irrational beliefs, and adolescent betting behaviors were identified with AMOS 21.0 by level of betting behavior accessibility. Results First, for adolescent betting behavior paths by accessibility level, the coefficient differences between the path from impulsivity to betting behavior, the path from betting behavior expectation to betting behavior, and the path from irrational belief to betting behavior were found to be statistically significant. Second, the path that affects betting behavior in the group with high accessibility is the path from neglect to betting behavior through irrational beliefs, the path from neglect to depression, impulsivity, betting behavior expectations, the path to betting behavior through irrational beliefs, and the path from abuse to betting behavior The path to betting behavior through depression, impulsivity, betting behavior expectation, and irrational beliefs and the path from abuse to betting behavior through impulsivity, betting behavior expectation and irrational beliefs are significant. Third, in the group with low accessibility, a significant path leading to betting behavior does not appear. Conclusions This study confirmed the distinct differences in specific pathways on adolescent betting behavior by accessibility level, and confirmed multidimensional pathways by accessibility level by inputting betting behavior expectancy variables, which were not covered in domestic studies, together with major variables of adolescent betting behaviors. This broadened the understanding of youth betting behavior and presented evidence for customized intervention.
