REG_SE, Self-efficacy in self-regulating gaming behavior; AV_SE, Self-efficacy in avoiding gambling behavior; SOGS, South Oaks Gambling Screen total score; PGSI, Problem Gambling Severity Index total score; ERR_BEL, Gamblers erroneous beliefs; SYMB_M, Symbolic motives for gambling; ECON_M, Economic motives for gambling; HEDO_M, Hedonic motives for gambling; RISK, Risk Taking; IMPULS, Impulsiveness. Correlations were significant for p < 0.05, excepting those reported in italics. Partial correlation for REG_SE were computed controlling for AV_SE; Partial correlation for AV_SE were computed controlling for REG_SE.
