Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationship between three different impulsiveness traits and gambling preoccupation in a group of university students, and to investigate whether the gambling preoccupation can lead to impairment of important social areas through self-regulation failure. Methods: Five hundred eighty four university students completed the Korean version of the National Opinion Research Center DSM-IV Screen for Gambling Problems and the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale. The data of 553 students were finally analyzed. Impulsiveness traits were divided into three sub-scales: cognitive, motor, and non-planning impulsiveness. In order to verify our hypothesis, structural equation modeling was applied using AMOS software package, version 18.0. Results: Three different impulsiveness traits had no significant direct effect on gambling preoccupation (p>0.05). Gambling preoccupation had significant direct effects both on self-regulation failure and impairment of important social areas (p<0.05). Self-regulation failure had a significant mediating effect on the relationship between gambling preoccupation and impairment of significant relationships. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the gambling preoccupation cannot be directly explained by a personality trait related to impulsiveness. However, the gambling preoccupation can be a factor that causes impairment of important social areas, mediating self-regulation failure.
