Sažetak
Contemporary studies emphasize the importance of family variables in explaining problem gambling, especially in adolescent age when family plays a key role. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to contribute to this body of knowledge through gaining insight into potential differences in adolescents’ perception of parental behavior regarding the severity of their gambling. The study was conducted with a convenient sample of n=244 male adolescents from all three types of high- schools. The method of data collection was Paper-and-Pencil Self-Administered Questionnaire which comprised: General socio- demographic data, General Problem Severity Subscale as a part of Canadian Adolescent Gambling Inventory (Wiebe et al., 2010), Questionnaire on family interaction (Vulic- Prtoric, 2002), Questionnaire on parental behaviour (Kuterovac-Jagodic, Kerestes & Brkovic, 2002) and Questionnaire on probability of parents’ sanctioning children’s risky behaviours. The results show that all students equally perceive family interactions, but differ in their perception of parental behavior. Specifically, young people without gambling-related problems perceive their parents as less intrusive, punishing, permissive and restrictive. When it comes to parental sanctioning, problem gamblers perceive their parents as less prone to punishing some risky behaviors. This research confirms the importance of family variables in understanding this phenomenon. Practical implications of results will also be discussed.
