Abstract Intensification of gambling behavior may partly result from arousal caused by the mere physical presence of others in the gaming venue moving through the gaming floor on their way to enjoy other amenities. In an experiment, 56 male and 76 female participants (N= 132) gambled on a laptop-simulated electronic gaming machine (EGM), either alone or with a simulated crowd of 6 or 26 others who were wearing blindfolds and earphones. These crowds of other persons were falsely said to be participating in another experiment on ...

The Four Es is a 40-item scale measuring psychological risk for the development of problem gambling behavior. One-year follow-up interviews (n = 395) from a previously reported phone survey in Queensland, Australia (n = 2,577) (Rockloff & Dyer, 2006) tested the ability of the Four Es instrument to prospectively identify persons who would later develop gambling problems. Two groups of participants were selected for the 1-year follow-up interviews, including (1) persons who had gambling problems, high-risk alcohol abuse problems, and/or substance abuse problems (abuse group); and (2) a random selection of other persons from the original survey (random group). The results indicated that the "Excess" trait, which measures impulsive behavior, was predictive of relative increases in gambling problems for both groups over the 1-year period. Additionally, the Four Es questionnaire showed good psychometric properties in the surveys, with a test-retest reliability of r = .70 and a Cronbach's alpha reliability of alpha = .90 and .92 in the original and follow-up interviews, respectively.

A trait measure of psychological risk for problem gambling was submitted to validation in a random sample telephone survey across Queensland, Australia (N= 2,577). The instrument consists of 4 traits that represent motivations for gambling, including: Escape, Esteem, Excitement and Excess. By design, none of the 40 items on the scale explicitly refers to gambling activities. Results from the survey showed that the 4 traits predicted gambling problems as measured by the Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI, Ferris ...

An astronomer can predict with pinpoint accuracy the movement of far-off stars through the nighttime sky. Every point of light slides in its inevitable arc across the lens of her telescope in accordance with paths which can be plotted centuries in advance with a relatively simple set of formulae. Ironically, the same astronomer might have considerable difficulty in predicting what she will wear the following day, much less her own mood. Even viewed close-up, the twisted trajectories of action and emotion traveled by human beings are far ...
