Review of Related Literature 1. Individual, family, and peer correlates of gambling, (Langhinrichen-Rohling, Rohde, Rohling, & Seeley, 2004). This study, which can be found in the Journal of Gambling Studies, took place on 2004. Its research question was to determine the family, individual, and peer factors that correlate with adolescent gambling. The methodology employed was quantitative. Using convenience sampling, a total of 1,846 adolescents from three different high schools located in three different states – Alabama, Mississippi, and Oregon, were employed. The target for the data collection was sophomores, juniors, and seniors. These adolescents belonging to the upper level of high school were chosen because the researchers wanted to target individuals who had the potential to drive or who may have had peers who were driving. There were 46 individuals who completed the data packet that were characterized as freshmen. And thus, were removed from the data set (Langhinrichen-Rohling, Rohde, Rohling, & Seeley, 2004). Aside from the ‘power’ to know the freshmen students, the data packet also included a 5-item scale which has a purpose of identifying invalid respondents. The condition is that if three or more items were scored as the invalid-direction, the person is then considered as an invalid respondent. A total of 58 or 3% of the participants were categorized to be invalid respondents. Thus they have been removed from the data set because their responses were inconsistent and invalid. Seven more individuals were removed from the data set because their answers were even more inconsistent – they have reported that they have never been to any gambling and at the same time they reported to have lost a total of 100 dollars due to gambling. A total of 111 or 6.01% of the students were removed from the data set, due to the being freshmen
