Abstract

Positive illusions and winning exposure are key factors leading to problem lottery gambling, but few studies have examined the relationships between them. 402 Chinese lottery gamblers was conducted with the Winning Exposure Questionnaire, the Positive illusion Questionnaire, the Winning Experience Questionnaire, and the Social and Economic Status Questionnaire to investigate the relationship between winning exposure and positive illusions as well as the moderating role of winning experience and socioeconomic status. The results showed that winning exposure can significantly and positively predict the positive illusions (optimism bias, better than average bias, and illusion of control) of lottery gamblers. The highest winning amount and subjective socioeconomic status significantly moderated the relationship between winning exposure and optimism bias. That was to say, for lottery gamblers with smaller maximum winning amount and lower subjective socioeconomic status, the association between winning exposure and optimism bias was stronger. Furthermore, the moderating effect of highest winning amount in the relationship between winning exposure and better than average bias, and the moderating effects of occupational status and subjective socioeconomic status in the relationship between winning exposure and illusion of control were marginally significant.

中国彩票赌博者的中奖经历和积极幻觉：彩票中奖经历和社会经济地位的调节作用。

积极幻觉和中奖暴露是导致问题彩票赌博的关键因素，但很少有研究探讨它们之间的关系。本研究对 402 名中国彩票赌博者进行了中奖暴露问卷、积极幻觉问卷、中奖经历问卷和社会经济地位问卷调查，以探讨中奖暴露与积极幻觉之间的关系，以及中奖经历和社会经济地位的调节作用。结果显示，中奖经历能显著正向预测彩票博彩者的积极幻觉（乐观偏差、优于平均水平偏差和控制幻觉）。最高中奖金额和主观社会经济地位在很大程度上调节了中奖经历与乐观偏差之间的关系。也就是说，对于最高中奖金额较小、主观社会经济地位较低的彩票赌博者来说，中奖暴露与乐观偏差之间的关系更为密切。此外，最高中奖金额对中奖暴露与好于平均水平偏差之间关系的调节作用，以及职业地位和主观社会经济地位对中奖暴露与控制幻觉之间关系的调节作用都略微显著。
