Abstract

The relationships between cognitive reappraisal and problem gambling have been widely studied in different contexts. However, previous research findings remain inconsistent. This discrepancy might be attributed to the effects of interactions between cognitive reappraisal and other risk factors for problem gambling. Using moderation models, this study examined the association between impulsivity, gambling-related cognitive distortions, cognitive reappraisal and problem gambling in a sample of Malaysian gamblers. A total of 149 community gamblers (103 males, 46 females; mean age = 32.18) completed an online questionnaire. Problem gambling was measured with the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS); cognitive reappraisal was measured using the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire-Cognitive Reappraisal Subscale (ERQ-CR); impulsivity was measured with the Short-UPPS-P Impulsive Behaviour Scale (SUPPS-P); and gambling-related cognitive distortions were measured using the Gambling Related Cognitions Scale (GRCS). The results revealed impulsivity and gambling-related cognitive distortions as significant predictors of problem gambling. At high levels, impulsivity and cognitive distortions are significant moderator variables that strengthen the association between cognitive reappraisal and problem gambling. These findings demonstrate that reappraisal skills could exacerbate problem gambling severity amongst impulsive or self-deceptive gamblers. Future research with larger and more representative samples is needed to validate and generalise these findings.

马来西亚样本中的冲动性、赌博相关认知、认知再评价和赌博行为。

认知再评价与问题赌博之间的关系已在不同的背景下被广泛研究。然而，以往的研究结果仍不一致。造成这种差异的原因可能是认知重评与其他问题赌博风险因素之间的相互作用。本研究采用调节模型，对马来西亚赌徒样本中的冲动性、赌博相关认知扭曲、认知重评和问题赌博之间的关联进行了研究。共有 149 名社区赌徒（103 名男性，46 名女性；平均年龄 = 32.18 岁）完成了在线问卷调查。问题赌博通过南橡树赌博筛查（South Oaks Gambling Screen，SOGS）进行测量；认知再评价通过情绪调节问卷-认知再评价分量表（ERQ-CR）进行测量；冲动性通过冲动行为短量表（Short-UPPS-P Impulsive Behaviour Scale，SUPPS-P）进行测量；赌博相关认知扭曲通过赌博相关认知量表（Gambling Related Cognitions Scale，GRCS）进行测量。结果显示，冲动性和赌博相关认知扭曲是预测问题赌博的重要因素。在高水平上，冲动性和认知扭曲是重要的调节变量，可加强认知再评价与问题赌博之间的联系。这些研究结果表明，在冲动型或自我欺骗型赌博者中，重评技能可能会加剧问题赌博的严重程度。今后需要对更大规模和更具代表性的样本进行研究，以验证和推广这些发现。
