Popis: The study examines the relationships among individual differences in temperament, gamblers’ beliefs and involvement in gambling. The results of psychological studies indicate that gambling is related to impulsivity. Additionally, the studies showed that regular players produce more gambler biases. However, recent studies have not shown the function of the gamblers’ beliefs. Do gamblers rationalise after gambling? Do gamblers’ beliefs motivate them to gamble? We sought an answer to these questions. The investigation was conducted among 353 gamblers. All participants completed a Gambler’s Belief and Behaviour Questionnaire. We demonstrated that gamblers’ beliefs were predicted by impulsivity, reward sensitivity and intolerance of uncertainty. Furthermore, the tendency to gamble was predicted by gamblers’ beliefs even when temperamental differences were controlled for.
