Turkish Version of the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI-T): Psychometric Properties Among the University Students

Öz:
The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI-T). The study sample included 182 voluntary university students (mean age=24.06years) who reported that they had participated in gambling at least once in the previous year. The resultsof the confirmatory factor analyses supported the unifactorial structure of the PGSI-T among the Turkishuniversity students participated in gambling. Cronbach’s alpha for the PGSI-T was good (α=0.82). Positiveand significant correlations of the PGSI-T with gambling-related variables such as gambling frequency,gambling harm, South Oaks Gambling Screen supported the concurrent validity of the scale; whereas higherscores of the probable problem gamblers on PGSI-T compared to the nonproblem gamblers supported thecriterion validity of the scale. These findings suggest that PGSI-T is a valid and reliable instrument to assessgambling problems among Turkish university students. Future research with more representative sampleswill be useful in testing the generalizability of these findings.
