Abstract

Online gambling has grown increasingly popular over the past decade, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Online gamblers tend to face more issues than those who gamble in traditional settings, leading to a higher risk of developing pathological gambling. In Brazil, gambling activities are culturally accepted and normalized, which encourages widespread participation among the population. Therefore, screening and assessing online gambling is now a public necessity. The Online Gambling Disorder Questionnaire (OGD-Q), developed by González-Cabrera et al. (2020), aims to evaluate symptoms of gambling disorder primarily online. Given the significance of this issue in Brazil, this study sought to adapt the scale for cross-cultural use and examine its psychometric properties. The sample included 298 participants who completed an online survey. Nomothetic validity was tested through Spearman’s Rho correlations between measures of depression, anxiety, stress, and online gaming behavior. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha and Omega Coefficient, along with confirmatory factor analysis. Results showed strong reliability, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.92 and an Omega Coefficient of 0.93. The confirmatory factor analysis supported the proposed one-factor structure, demonstrating good fit indices and factor loadings. Significant correlations were found in the total sample between OGD-Q scores and measures of online gaming, depression, anxiety, and stress. In summary, the findings demonstrate that the Brazilian version of OGD-Q is an effective tool for assessing online gambling disorder in the Brazilian population.

网络赌博障碍问卷（OGD-Q）的巴西葡萄牙语翻译与改编。

在线赌博在过去十年中越来越受欢迎，特别是自COVID-19大流行以来。比起那些在传统环境中赌博的人，在线赌徒往往面临更多的问题，导致发展为病态赌博的风险更高。在巴西，赌博活动在文化上是被接受和正常化的，这鼓励了人们的广泛参与。因此，筛查和评估在线赌博现在是一种公共需要。由González-Cabrera等人（2020）开发的在线赌博障碍问卷（OGD-Q）旨在评估主要是在线赌博障碍的症状。鉴于这一问题在巴西的重要性，本研究试图使量表适应跨文化使用，并检查其心理测量特性。样本包括298名完成在线调查的参与者。通过测量抑郁、焦虑、压力和在线游戏行为之间的Spearman 's Rho相关性来测试Nomothetic效度。采用Cronbach 's alpha和Omega系数以及验证性因子分析评估内部一致性。结果具有较强的信度，Cronbach 's alpha为0.92，Omega系数为0.93。验证性因子分析支持提出的单因子结构，显示出良好的拟合指标和因子负荷。在总样本中，OGD-Q分数与在线游戏、抑郁、焦虑和压力之间存在显著相关性。总之，研究结果表明，巴西版本的OGD-Q是评估巴西人口在线赌博障碍的有效工具。
