When Passion Leads to Problematic Outcomes: A Look at Gambling

Abstract: Vallerand et al. (2003) have proposed that individuals can have two distinct types of passion toward an activity. Harmonious passion, an internal force leading one to choose to engage in the activity, is proposed to be associated with positive consequences. Obsessive passion, an internal pressure forcing one to engage in an activity, is posited to be associated with negative consequences. The present study sought to determine the role of the two types of passion in various cognitive and affective states associ… Show more

“…Research on harmonious and obsessive passion has investigated passion in various domains such as work, sports, dance, music, gambling, and digital gaming (e.g., Carbonneau, Vallerand, Fernet, & Guay, 2008;Ratelle, Vallerand, Mageau, Rousseau, & Provencher, 2004;Rip, Fortin, & Vallerand, 2006;Vallerand et al, 2003Vallerand et al, , 2008Wang, Khoo, Liu, & Divaharan, 2008). Overall, findings show that harmonious passion tends to be associated with positive characteristics, processes, and outcomes (e.g., positive emotions).…”

“…Conversely, obsessive passion is defined as the integration of an activity into one's identity in order to meet interpersonal, external contingencies (e.g., to appear more successful in front of others) or fulfill intrapersonal desires (e.g., a momentary thrill) . Previous research has investigated the concepts of harmonious and obsessive passion in relation to online gaming, online shopping, and problematic gambling (Mageau et al, 2005;Ratelle et al, 2004;Skitch & Hodgins, 2005;Vallerand et al, 2003;Wang & Chu, 2007;Wang & Yang, 2008). Findings suggest that activities exemplified by harmonious passion foster positive affect and healthy persistence, whereas obsessive passion has been associated with negative affect, preoccupation, aggressive behavior, compulsive activity engagement, and frustration if engagement in the activity is thwarted (Philippe et al, 2009;Vallerand et al, 2003;Zhang et al, 2014).…”

“…Ce résultat rejoint plusieurs études qui ont rapporté une association entre la passion obsessive et la perte de contrôle des comportements de jeu (Mageau et al, 2005) et les problèmes de jeu (Castelda et al, 2007;MacKillop et al, 2006a;Morvannou et al, 2017;Ratelle et al, 2004;Skitch et Hodgins, 2005;Vallerand et Guay, 2012). Des études ont révélé que la passion obsessive était plus intense chez les joueurs problématiques et pathologiques comparés aux joueurs sans problèmes (Castelda et al, 2007;MacKillop et al, 2006b;Ratelle et al, 2004;Skitch et Hodgins, 2005). Toutefois, malgré l'association entre ces deux concepts, plusieurs éléments dans la littérature laissent croire qu'il s'agit effectivement de concepts liés, mais distincts.…”

“…Par ailleurs, l'inclusion de JdP ne permet pas d'étendre les conclusions aux autres joueurs de JHA. Néanmoins, il s'agit d'un échantillon de joueurs relativement homogène jouant principalement au poker, contrairement à bien d'autres études dans le domaine qui ne rapportent pas les JHA pratiqués par la population étudiée (Ratelle et al, 2004;Skitch et Hodgins, 2005). Un biais de mémoire potentiel est à prendre en considération, car certains participants ont diminué leurs activités de poker au cours des dernières années.…”
