| Abstract: | This study examines the relationships between distorted cognitions, motivation, and alexithymia on problem gambling in poker
players (n = 96). Respondents completed questionnaires containing the Canadian Problem Gambling Index, Gambling Motivation Scale, Gambler’s
Beliefs Questionnaire, and Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20. The results suggest that problem gambling is significantly related
to distorted cognitions, non-self-determined motivation, and difficulty identifying feelings. Implications are drawn for the
development of more relevant intervention, prevention, and treatment strategies. |
