Abstract

ABSTRACT Studies involving illegal gambling in sports are important, though most lack a theoretical framework. The current study examines illegal gambling in sports using a mediational model of General Strain Theory. This features a survey of three-hundred and ninety-two (n = 392) gamblers in Rasht, Iran. Results indicate that participants who experience subjective financial strain also experience negative emotions, which leads to a greater likelihood of illegal gambling. The concepts of financial strain (low SES) and control deficit emerged as significant in the development of gambling behaviors. The results suggests that gambling on sports behavior is learned in a similarly to pro-social behaviors, and that desistance requires an consideration of the learning process.

体育运动中涉及非法赌博的研究是重要的，尽管大多数研究缺乏理论框架。目前的研究使用一般应变理论的中介模型来检验体育运动中的非法赌博。这是一项针对伊朗拉什特市392名赌徒的调查。结果表明，经历主观经济压力的参与者也会经历负面情绪，这会导致更大的非法赌博可能性。财务压力（低社会经济地位）和控制赤字的概念在赌博行为的发展中具有重要意义。研究结果表明，对体育行为的赌博是以类似于亲社会行为的方式学习的，而这种放弃需要考虑学习过程。
