Few studies have compared gamblers who play in exclusively online (i.e., Internet-based), exclusively offline (i.e., land-based), and mixed-mode contexts. In studies that have compared these groups, mixed-mode gamblers have consistently exhibited the greatest susceptibility to problematic gambling. In order to expand the scope of previous research that has compared gamblers based on their preferred mode of play, and to improve understanding of mixed-mode gamblers' proneness to problematic gambling, a sample of gamblers who play in exclusively online, exclusively offline, and mixed-mode contexts were compared on indices of gambling involvement, motives, and personality traits. Results indicated that mixed-mode gamblers played a wider range of games, and reported higher problematic gambling severity scores, higher scores on enhancement and social gambling motive scales, and lower and higher honesty-humility and extraversion personality scores, respectively. Associations between gambling motives and personality traits are discussed in relation to the role that these characteristics might play in mixed-mode gamblers' increased risk of gambling-related harm.
很少有研究比较过仅在网上(即基于互联网)、仅在网下(即基于场地)和混合模式下玩的赌徒。在比较这些群体的研究中,混合模式赌徒一直表现出对问题赌博的最大易感性。为了扩大之前基于偏好的玩的模式比较赌徒的研究范围,并提高对混合模式赌徒易患问题赌博的理解,对仅在网上、仅在网下和混合模式下玩的赌徒样本进行了比较,比较了赌博参与度、动机和人格特质的指标。结果表明,混合模式赌徒玩的游戏种类更多,问题赌博严重程度得分更高,增强和社交赌博动机量表得分更高,诚实谦逊和外向人格得分更低和更高。讨论了赌博动机和人格特质之间的关系,以及这些特征在混合模式赌徒增加与赌博相关的伤害风险方面可能发挥的作用。
