Comprehension des items du South Oaks Gambling Screen chez des enfants du deuxieme cycle du primaire
Abstract (summary)
Peu d'etudes s'interessent aux habitudes de jeu des enfants. En 1996, Ladouceur, Ferland, Jacques, et Boudreault notent que 4,5% des enfant ages de 9 a 12 ans montrent les caracteristiques du jeu pathologique. Ceci constitue un taux deux fois plus eleve que chez les adultes. Realisee aupres de 84 eleves du primaire, la presente etude examine la comprehension du questionnaire employe par ces chercheurs, soit le South Oaks Gambling Screen-Adolescent Version (SOGS-RA, Winters, Stinchfield, & Fulkerson, 1993). Les resultats de cette etude indiquent que pres d'une question sur trois est incomprise. Plus le score au SOGS-RA est eleve, moins la comprehension du questionnaire est bonne. Cependant, la comprehension n'est pas reliee au niveau de scolarite. Des explications favorisent une diminution des scores lors d'une seconde passation. La discussion souligne les implications pratiques et theoriques de ces resultats et offre des suggestions pour l'elaboration d'un nouvel instrument de mesure.

Few studies focus on children's play habits. In 1996, Ladouceur, Ferland, Jacques, and Boudreault noted that 4.5% of children aged 9 to 12 show the characteristics of pathological gambling. This is twice as high as in adults. Conducted with 84 elementary school students, the present study examines the understanding of the questionnaire used by these researchers, namely the South Oaks Gambling Screen-Adolescent Version (SOGS-RA, Winters, Stinchfield, & Fulkerson, 1993). The results of this study indicate that nearly one in three questions is misunderstood. The higher the SOGS-RA score, the poorer the understanding of the questionnaire. However, understanding is not related to level of education. Explanations favor a reduction in scores during a second examination. The discussion highlights the practical and theoretical implications of these results and offers suggestions for the development of a new measurement instrument.
