What Motivates People to Gamble ?
Jul 2nd 2013, 17:56


When presented with the option of playing cards to either receive a guaranteed certain amount of money - for example, an 100 percent chance of winning 2 dollars - or to gamble for that same amount of money - for example, a 50 percent chance of winning 2 dollars - people more vulnerable to gambling chose the guarantee.

Ironically, people less vulnerable to gambling, - motivated by suspense - were more likely to gamble.

The study is printed online in Social Psychology Bulletin.
