Abstract

The relationship between lottery ticket and scratch-card buying behaviour, personality and other compulsive behaviours

Impulse buying and variety seeking: A trait-correlates perspective

“…ImpSS associates with various so-called non-rational behaviors; gambling and promotional games (McDaniel and Zuckerman, 2003), binge eating and alcohol abuse (Kane et al, 2004), adventure sports (Jack and Ronan, 1998), lottery buying (Balabanis, 2002), drug abuse (Robbins and Bryan, 2004), irresponsible sexual behavior and reckless driving (Zuckerman, 2000).…”

Impulse buying and variety seeking: Similarities and differences

“…As Sharma et al (2010) assert, impulse buying has often been associated with negative traits and behaviors. For example, Zuckerman's (1994) Impulsive Sensation Seeking scale associates impulsiveness with various negative behaviors, such as gambling (McDaniel andZuckerman, 2003), promotional games (McDaniel andZuckerman, 2003), binge eating and alcohol abuse (Kane et al, 2004), adventure sports (Jack and Ronan, 1998), playing the lottery (Balabanis, 2002), drug abuse (Robbins and Bryan, 2004), irresponsible sexual behavior and reckless driving (Zuckerman, 2000).…”

Consumer behaviour in the scratch card market: a double-hurdle approach

“…As a consequence, gamblers can be susceptible to the illusion of control (Langer, 1975) such as having the perception of personal control over random events. George (2002) supplies evidence of a negative correlation between openness and scratch card buying compulsiveness. Nonetheless, individuals with a high level of openness have arguably clearer opinions of the stakes involved in gambling and may not be keen to engage in such activity.…”

“…Hraba et al (1990) uncover a significant and positive correlation between alcohol consumption and gambling. George (2002) provides evidence of a positive link between cigarette consumption and gambling. Grant and Potenza (2005) report evidence of a stronger urge to gamble among gamblers who smoke compared to their non-smoking peers.…”

“…The OCEAN model embodies personality at the most abstract level and summarizes a great number of distinct personality features (John & Srivastava, 1999). It can provide a robust and succinct depiction of an individual's personality (George, 2002). However, this concept has its criticisms.…”
