Abstract

Gambling is common in the US, yet nearly one in three players experience gambling-related problems. Using Self-Determination Theory, this study explores how three causality orientations-autonomous, controlled, and impersonal-affect the severity of problem gambling. The study further investigates the mediating roles of nonattachment, dispositional greed, and anhedonia to illuminate how these orientations relate to problem gambling. The data from 675 participants (59% male; Mean age = 40.4 years, SD = 12.9) via Amazon's Mechanical Turk were collected following a screening procedure to identify at-risk players. Findings showed that dispositional greed mediated the impact of a controlled orientation on problem gambling severity, while anhedonia mediated the effect of impersonal orientation. Unexpectedly, nonattachment did not explain the effect of autonomous orientation on problem gambling, though a negative association was still observed. This research enhances understanding of how individual differences and causality orientations contribute to problem gambling behavior. The implications are discussed.

评估一般因果关系取向与问题赌博之间的联系,以及不依恋、贪婪和失恋的中介作用。
赌博在美国很普遍,但每三个赌徒中就有一个会遇到与赌博有关的问题。本研究运用自我决定理论(Self-Determination Theory),探讨了自主型、受控型和非个人型三种因果关系取向如何影响问题赌博的严重程度。本研究还进一步探讨了非依恋、处置性贪婪和失乐症的中介作用,以阐明这些取向与问题赌博之间的关系。本研究通过亚马逊的 Mechanical Turk 收集了 675 名参与者(59% 为男性;平均年龄 = 40.4 岁,SD = 12.9)的数据,并通过筛选程序确定了高危玩家。研究结果表明,倾向性贪婪介导了控制取向对问题赌博严重性的影响,而失恋则介导了非个人取向的影响。出乎意料的是,非依恋并不能解释自主取向对问题赌博的影响,尽管仍然观察到了负相关。这项研究加深了人们对个体差异和因果取向如何导致问题赌博行为的理解。本文对其影响进行了讨论。
