Abstract

Jedan od fenomena koji obilježavaju današnja društva je sve veća popularnost igara
na sreću. Unatoč tome što većina zemalja zakonski zabranjuje kockanje
maloljetnicima, oni učestalo i aktivno sudjeluju u aktivnostima kockanja i klađenja.
Ovaj rad još je jedan doprinos ovom istraživačkom području.
U radu je napravljen pregled glavnih obilježja kockanja kod adolescenata na temelju
dostupne domaće i strane literature. Cilj rada bio je pružiti detaljan uvid u karakter i
specifičnosti kockanja u adolescentskoj dobi.
Podaci pokazuju da je u svijetu 50-83% mladih kockalo barem jednom u životu, 10-
15% je u riziku od razvoja problematičnog kockanja, dok 2-8% ima ozbiljnih
problema s kockanjem. Razvoj negativnog ishoda ovisi o skupu individualnih,
obiteljskih i okolinskih čimbenika, rizičnih i zaštitnih, koji su u neprestanom
međudjelovanju. Uz kockanje gotovo uvijek paralelno egzistira i neki drugi oblik
rizičnog ponašanja, a mladići su se pokazali rizičnijima za razvoj problematičnog
kockanja u odnosu na djevojke. Hoće li kockanje biti samo dio adolescentskog
iskustva ili će se zadržati kao trajna navika u budućnosti, ne treba prepustiti slučaju,
već sveobuhvatnim preventivnim aktivnostima djelovati na razvoj otpornosti kod
mladih kako bi mogli donositi odgovorne odluke.

Abstract (english)

Increasing popularity in games of chance is one of phenomena that characterize
today's society. Youngsters are often active participants of gambling and betting
activities despite legal prohibition of underage gambling in most countries. This
paper is another contribution to this research area.
The paper is an overview of main features of adolescent gambling based on the
available national and international data. The aim was to provide elaborate insight
into the nature and specifics of adolescent gambling behaviour.
The data show that 50-83% of young people in the world gambled at least once in
their lifetime, 10-15% is at risk of developing problem gambling, while 2-8% have
serious gambling problems. Development of negative outcome depends on a set of
risk and protective factors, individual, family and environmental, which are in
constant interaction. Gambling almost always coexists with some other type of risk
behaviour and boys are proven to be more at risk from developing gambling
problems. Will gambling only be part of youth exsperience or will it remain as
permanent habit in the future should not be left to chance. Adolescents need
comprehensive prevention activities that will encourage development of their
resistance so they could make responsible decisions.
