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.
