Male off-course bettors were assessed using: the Sensation-Seeking Scale (SSS) Form V, two measures of subjective arousal while betting, and questions concerning chasing, preferences for gambling activities and other aspects of betting behaviour. The SSS was also administered to a random sample of the male general population of Glasgow, together with questions concerning preferences for gambling activities to allow comparison between regular gamblers and the general population. In comparison with the general population and with non-gamblers, off-course bettors scored lower on SSS; gamblers preferring the casino and/or the race-track scored higher on SSS; gamblers betting on many different forms scored higher on SSS. A further analysis produced a cluster of variables among off-course bettors associated with impaired control of gambling, among which both SSS scores and chasing were prominent features.
使用感觉寻求量表（SSS）第五版、两种投注时主观唤醒的测量方法，以及关于追逐行为、对赌博活动的偏好和投注行为其他方面的问题。还对格拉斯哥男性普通人群的随机样本进行了SSS测试，并询问了他们对赌博活动的偏好，以便比较常客和普通人群。与普通人群和非赌博者相比，场外投注者的SSS得分较低；更喜欢赌场和/或赛马场的赌博者的SSS得分较高；投注多种不同形式的赌博者的SSS得分较高。进一步分析发现，场外投注者中存在一组与赌博控制受损相关的变量，其中SSS得分和追逐行为是突出特征。
