Abstract
The aim of this research was to know prevalence of pathological gambling in male and female offenders from five jails. Sample was non-randomized (n=334). Two forms of a survey were applied. The Brief Questionnaire of Pathological Gambling (BQPG, Fernández-Montalvo, Báez & Echeburúa-Odriozola, 1995), a Check List of Drugs Consumption (Ruiz-Pérez, 2015), and questions of sociodemographic backgrpund were common to each forms. Also, Form A included Plutchik’ Impulsivity Scale (in Ruiz-Pérez, 2015) and Form B included the pathology Symptoms Assessment (SA-45) questionnaire (Sandín, Valiente, Chorot, Santed & Lostao, 2008). Results showed that probable pathological gamblers were 32,3% of men and 18,8% of women. Global score in SA-45 and alcohol consumption were associated directly with pathological gambling scores. In a regression analysis level, for women inmates, predictive variables of pathological gambling were gambling activities participation and alcohol consumption. For men, psychopatology was the unique predictor variable, with hostility as main dimension.
