Выявить роль спортивной квалификации и пола в формировании склонности к патологическому гемблингу у молодых людей белорусской популяции, а также оценить потенциал спортивной активности как защитного фактора против игровой зависимости.</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. В ходе исследования проведено сравнительное изучение склонности к патологическому гемблингу у студентов-спортсменов (n = 499) и студентов, не занимающихся спортом (n = 352), с использованием модифицированного Канадского показателя проблемного гемблинга (CPGI). Статистический анализ выполнен с применением U-критерия Манна – Уитни. Также проведена стратификация спортсменов по уровню спортивной квалификации и балансировка выборок по полу для контроля гендерного дисбаланса.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Установлено, что юноши в обеих группах демонстрируют значимо более высокие уровни оценки игровой зависимости по сравнению с девушками. Значимые различия в уровнях игровой зависимости выявлены также между юношами из разных групп (p = 0,0028), в то время как различия между девушками из разных групп статистически не значимы (p = 0,4459). Была продемонстрирована ключевая роль гендерного фактора, а не спортивной активности как таковой (р &lt; 0,0001). В то же время выявлен внутренний градиент в группе спортсменов: чем выше спортивный разряд, тем ниже проявление игровой зависимости (р &lt; 0,0001), что позволяет предположить компенсаторный эффект интенсивных и структурированных тренировок либо психологическое удовлетворение результатами спортивных достижений.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. В результате опроса было выявлено, что мужчины демонстрируют более высокие уровни склонности к игровой зависимости по сравнению с женщинами. При этом различия по этому показателю между девушками-спортсменками и девушками из группы сравнения были незначимы, а юноши, не занимающиеся спортом, более существенно склонны к игровой зависимости, чем юноши-спортсмены.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Objective</title><p>Objective. To identify the role of athletic qualification and gender in propensity for pathological gambling in young people in Belarusian population, as well as to assess the potential of sports activities as a protective factor against gambling addiction.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. The study compared the propensity for pathological gambling in student athletes (n=499) and non-athlete students (n=352) using the modified Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI). Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann – Whitney U test to compare group medians. Additionally, athletes were stratified by sports qualification level, and gender-balanced subsamples were constructed to control for gender imbalance.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. It was concluded that male participants in both groups demonstrated significantly higher gambling propensity scores compared to females. Significant differences were identified between young males from different groups (p=0.0028), whereas no such difference was found among young females (p=0.4459). The key role of gender factor rather than sport activity per se, was demonstrated (p&lt;0.0001). At the same time, an internal gradient was identified in the group of athletes: the higher the sports category, the lower the manifestation of gambling addiction (p &lt; 0.0001), which make it possible to suggest a compensatory effect of intensive and structured training or psychological satisfaction with the results of sports achievements.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. The study revealed that males prove higher levels of gambling propensity than females. While no statistically significant difference was found between female athletes and non-athlete females, male non-athlete students showed significantly greater gambling propensity than male athletes.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>патологический гемблинг</kwd><kwd>поведенческая зависимость</kwd><kwd>студенты-спортсмены</kwd><kwd>гендерные различия</kwd><kwd>защитные факторы</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>pathological gambling</kwd><kwd>behavioral dependence</kwd><kwd>student-athletes</kwd><kwd>gender differences</kwd><kwd>protective factors</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">МКБ-11 для ведения статистики смертности и заболеваемости.
