Резиме: Студентска популација представља вулнерабилну групу младих за укључивање у коцкарске активности и развој патолошког коцкања. Циљ овог рада јесте испитивање природе мотивације за коцкање студената Београдског универзитета у односу на ризик развоја проблема коцкања. Користећи теорију самоодређења као концептуални
оквир, ова студија је истраживала мотиве коцкања 158 студената, и то 58% женског и 42% мушког пола. Додатно су истражене социодемографске одлике и коцкарске активности
студената. Подаци су прикупљани помоћу Упитника о социодемографским карактеристикама, Упитника о зависности од коцкања (енг. The South Oaks Gambling Screen) и Упитника о мотивацији за коцкање (енг. The Gambling Motivation Scale). Резулати показују да од укупног броја испитаника 10,6% студената је испунило критеријум да су патолошки коцкари, 6,96% студената су потенцијално патолошки коцкари и 82,28% студената нема проблем са коцкањем. Уочена је разлика у мотивима за коцкањем. У погледу интризичних мотива, студенти патолошки коцкари наводе постизање стимулације, а екстринзични мотив суочавања. Међу омиљеним коцкарским активностима издвојили су се: спортско клађење, казино и коцкање на слот апаратима. Студенти чије је коцкање прогресирало у патолошко навели су да су са коцкарским активностима започели у средњошколском периоду и имају позитивну породичну историју коцкања. Добијени резултати указују на импликацију за даља истраживања и осмишљавање превентивних програма.

Кључне речи: студентска популација, коцкање, мотивација, теорија самоодређења, превенција

Summary: Student population is a vulnerable group of young people for involvement in gambling activities and the development of pathological gambling. The aim of this paper is to examine the nature of the motivation for gambling among students of the University of Belgrade relative to the risk of developing gambling problems. Using self-determination theory as a conceptual framework, this research investigated the motives for gambling of 158 college students, 58% female and 42% male. The socio-demographic characteristics and gambling activities of the students were additionally investigated. Data were collected using the Socio-demographic Characteristics Questionnaire, The South Oaks Gambling Screen, and The Gambling Motivation Scale. The results indicate that, out of the total number of the respondents, 10.6% of students met the criterion of being pathological gamblers, 6.96% of students are potential pathological gamblers, and 82.28% of students do not have a problem with gambling. A difference was observed in the motives for gambling. Regarding intrinsic motives, students who are pathological gamblers state the achievement of stimulation, and the extrinsic motive of coping. As for the favourite gambling activities, the following stood out: sports betting, casino, and gambling on slot machines. Students whose gambling progressed to pathological stated that they started gambling in high school and have a positive family history of gambling. The obtained results indicate the need for further research and the development of preventive programmes.
