摘要

赌博相关危害已成为衡量人口水平赌博不利后果的关键指标。然而,尽管这一理解在当代研究中得到了更新,但仍进行了一些探索,以评估哪种工具最适合捕捉赌博的有害后果。本研究旨在确定Likert比例尺是否比二进制比例尺更适合捕捉赌博危害。我们假设,最初使用二进制量表评分的短投注伤害屏幕(SGHS)的表现类似于本研究目的的替代形式。对问题赌博严重性指数进行了反向对应比较。SGHS的性能通过重复测量设计与调查结束时管理的其他三种有效性测量相结合进行评估。最后,我们发现改变评分格式(即从二进制到Likert)对SGHS的心理测量性能有不可忽略的影响。我们得出结论,SGHS的原始评分方法不仅适用,而且在测量赌博危害方面也不比Likert量表更适用。摘要:与游戏相关的伤害已成为评估游戏对人口的负面影响的关键指标。然而,尽管这一理解在当代研究中得到了更新,但很少有人探索哪种乐器最适合理解游戏的不良后果。本研究旨在确定Likert量表是否比二进制量表更适合捕捉游戏相关伤害。我们假设,最初使用二进制量表评估的问题赌博快速识别(短赌博危害屏幕或SGHS)与为本研究目的创建的替代Likert形式没有区别。对过度游隙重力指数(PGSI)进行了相反方向的相应比较。SGHS的绩效通过重复测量计划进行评估,并结合调查结束时管理的其他三项有效性测量。最后,我们发现评分格式的变化(即从二进制到Likert)对SGHS的心理测量性能有显著影响。我们得出结论,SGHS的原始评分方法不仅适用,而且在评估游戏伤害方面也不亚于Likert量表。

Evaluating the Reliability and Validity of the Short Gambling Harm Screen: Are Binary Scales worse than Likert Scales at capturing Gambling Harm?
Gambling-related harm has become a key metric for measuring the adverse consequences of gambling on a population level. Yet, despite this renewed understanding in contemporary research, little exploration has been conducted to evaluate which instrument is best suited to capture the harmful consequences of gambling. This study was designed with the aim of determining whether Likert scales were better suited to capture gambling harm than binary scales. We hypothesized that the Short Gambling Harm Screen (SGHS), initially scored using a binary scale, would perform similarly to the alternate form that was Likertized for the purpose of this study. A corresponding comparison in the reverse direction was executed for the Problem Gambling Severity Index. The SGHS’s performance was assessed via a repeated-measures design in combination with three other measures of validity administered at the conclusion of the survey. In the end, we found that changing the scoring format (i.e., from binary to Likert) had negligible impact on the SGHS’s psychometric performance. We conclude that the original scoring method of the SGHS is not only appropriate but also no less suitable than Likert scales in measuring gambling harm. Resume Les dommages lies au jeu sont devenus une mesure cle pour evaluer les consequences nefastes du jeu a l’echelle de la population. Pourtant, malgre cette comprehension renouvelee dans la recherche contemporaine, on effectue tres peu d’exploration pour evaluer quel instrument est le mieux adapte pour comprendre les consequences nefastes du jeu. Cette etude a ete concue dans le but de determiner si les echelles de Likert etaient mieux adaptees que les echelles binaires pour saisir les dommages lies au jeu. Nous avons emis l’hypothese que le depistage rapide du jeu problematique (Short Gambling Harm Screen ou SGHS), initialement evalue a l’aide d’une echelle binaire, ne fonctionnera pas differemment de la forme de Likert alternative qui a ete creee aux fins de cette etude.  Une comparaison correspondante dans la direction inverse a ete effectuee pour l'indice de gravite du jeu excessif (PGSI).  Les performances du SGHS ont ete evaluees par un plan de mesures repetees, combines a trois autres mesures de validite administrees a la fin du sondage. En fin de compte, nous avons constate que le changement du format de pointage (c.-a-d. du binaire au Likert) avait un impact negligeable sur le rendement psychometrique du SGHS. Nous concluons que la methode de pointage originale du SGHS est non seulement appropriee, mais egalement non moins appropriee que les echelles de Likert pour evaluer les dommages lies au jeu.
