EXPRESSION OF COGNITIVE STYLES CONDUCTED BY GAMBLING IN SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE TOWN OF ŽIVINICE

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine whether high school students in the town of Živinice differ in the expression of cognitive styles conditioned by gambling with regard to gender, age and type of school. The research was conducted on a sample of 340 students of both sexes (170 boys and 170 girls) in high schools in the city of Živinice. Students from grades 1-4 are represented, and the age of the respondents ranges from 16 to 18 years. For the purposes of the research, two measuring instruments were used: Zambard’s time perspective questionnaire eng. Zimbardo TimePerspective Inventory (ZTPI), (Zimbardo and Boyd, 1999), International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) (Goldberg, 1999). Data were collected through self-reports. The results of the research show that the average age of male respondents who did not play any of the games of chance is 16.74 years, while those who played any of the games of chance are on average 17.01 years old. Out of a total of 112 students who stated that they played one of the games of chance, 85 or 68.00% of them are students of a four-year vocational school, while 27 or 60.00% are high school students. . A statistically significant difference in extraversion, one of the five-factor dimensions of personality (P<0.05), was obtained between female students prone and those who are not prone to gambling.
