Abstract

ABSTRACT Public attitudes toward gambling have important implications for people’s engagement in the activity and receptivity to regulatory reforms. Such views are likely, however, to be influenced by variations in market conditions, perceptions of regulations and personal exposure to gambling. This article examines whether differences in gambling attitudes are related to differences in the perceived social, cognitive, and physical accessibility of gambling in four countries (Australia, Israel, Croatia and Canada). These countries were selected because they cover a range of gambling regulations, from established liberalized markets (Australia, Canada), to a recently liberalized market (Croatia) to a relatively restricted market (Israel). University student respondents (n = 1787, aged 18–30) were surveyed in these four countries to control for educational differences. Within- gender analyses controlled for differences in gender profile across countries. More positive attitudes were associated with greater social accessibility and more stringent regulations. Australian and Canadian respondents reported more positive attitudes toward gambling and regulations. Israeli respondents reported less positive attitudes and exposure to problem gambling. Croatian respondents reported more positive attitudes, but considered gambling to be poorly regulated and overly available. Overall, attitudes were related to perceptions of regulation as well as the duration of exposure to liberalized markets.
年轻人对赌博的态度:澳大利亚、加拿大、克罗地亚和以色列的一项跨国研究
公众对赌博的态度对人们参与赌博活动和接受监管改革具有重要意义。然而,这种观点可能会受到市场条件变化、对监管的看法和个人赌博风险的影响。本文考察了赌博态度的差异是否与四个国家(澳大利亚、以色列、克罗地亚和加拿大)对赌博的感知社会、认知和物理可及性的差异有关。之所以选择这些国家,是因为它们涵盖了一系列赌博法规,从已建立的自由化市场(澳大利亚、加拿大)到最近开放的市场(克罗地亚),再到相对受限的市场(以色列)。在这四个国家调查了1787名年龄在18-30岁之间的大学生,以控制教育差异。性别内分析控制了各国性别特征的差异。更积极的态度与更大的社会可及性和更严格的监管相关联。澳大利亚和加拿大的受访者对赌博和监管的态度更为积极。以色列受访者报告的积极态度和问题赌博的接触较少。克罗地亚受访者对赌博的态度更为积极,但认为赌博管理不善,而且太容易获得。总的来说,态度与对管制的看法以及接触自由化市场的时间长短有关。
