    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Problem gambling is a significant public health concern.
    • Previous research suggests personality differences between problem and social gamblers, but findings are inconsistent.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate personality differences in locus of control and Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) traits between problem and social gamblers.
    • To address inconsistencies in prior research by employing matched control groups.

    Main Methods:

    • Matched groups of problem gamblers and social gamblers were compared.
    • Locus of control and Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) responses were assessed for both groups.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences were found between problem and social gamblers on locus of control measures.

  • No significant differences were observed on any of the four scales of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) between the groups.

    • Conclusions:

    • Contrary to hypotheses and some previous studies, problem and social gamblers did not differ significantly in locus of control or MBTI traits.
    • Inconsistencies in earlier studies may stem from methodological limitations, such as inappropriate or inconsistent controls.
    • Future personality research on problem gambling should differentiate between various gambling types and subtypes of problem gamblers for more nuanced understanding.
