Sports industry development for its 13th Five Year Plan points out eight key professions,sports lottery industry included.Sports lottery development for its 13th Five Year Plan points out that the sales of sports lottery jump to 166.4 billion RMB in 2015.since 2012 the sports lottery generates annual sales of over 100 billion RMB.During the 12th Five-Year Plan period,the sports lottery generates sales of 679.9 billion RMB,up 180%from the 11th Five Year Plan;about 176.2 billion RMB raised which contribution to the cause of sports.However,behind the prosperity of sports lottery industry,there are many problems,such as the problem consumer,which could stop development of sports lottery industry.We should pay high attention to sports lottery consumer.Continuum theory indicates that lottery purchasing behavior occurs on a continuum.According to the theory,the Problem Gambling Severity Index divide gamblers into non-gambler,non-problem gambler,low risk gambler,moderate risk gambler,problem gambler.Unfortunately,the present studies focus on problem gamblers formation mechanism and treatment techniques,do not pay too much attention to moderate risk gamblers.According to PGSI,moderate risk gamblers are most likely to become problem gamblers.In fact,pay attention to this group has the guiding function and warning function for prevention work of problem gambling.Impulsivity is the key risk factor of problem gambling and the important feature of risk decision-making.Past researches have shown that impulsivity is the core factor of initiation and maintenance of problem behaviors.Both the domestic and foreign researches tend to focus on the gambling impulsivity while neglect it as risk gamblers' gambling impulsivity.Restraining impulsivity may restrain that moderate risk gamblers evolve into problem gambler.On the basis of qualitative and quantitative research method,a deep analysis on gambling impulsivity is given.First,the current study establishes the model of gambling impulsivity factors with the grounded theory method.Second,according to the theory of whole view,the current study examines the impulsivity characteristic of moderate risk gamblers with the questionnaire survey method and cognitive tasks.Third,the current study examines self-control,cognitive bias,cognitive style have the impact on trait impulsivity with related statistical method.Finally,the current study examines ego depletion,cognitive bias,cognitive style have the impact on state impulsivity with dual-task paradigm(1)The dynamic processes of moderate risk gamblers' impulsivity.The grounded theory method show that external factors have the inducing effect and internal factors have leading role,cognitive bias,cognitive style and self-control is very outstanding in the forming process of moderate risk gamblers' impulsivity.(2)The gambling impulsivity of moderate risk gamblers.The current study show that the moderate risk gamblers are associated with trait impulsivity and state impulsivity in the affective domains,but not state impulsivity in the cognitive domains.(3)Self-control,cognitive bias,cognitive styles have the impact on trait impulsivity.The current study show the relationship between cognitive bias and trait impulsivity was moderated by self-control;the relationship between cognitive style and trait impulsivity was moderated by self-control.(4)Ego depletion,cognitive bias,cognitive styles have the impact on state impulsivity.The current study show that cognitive bias and cognitive styles have no impact on state impulsivity under the normal situation;cognitive bias and cognitive styles have impact on state impulsivity under the under high ego depletion situation,there was significant group(high cognitive bias gamblers v.s.low cognitive bias gamblers)differences in performance on Stroop Word Face Test,there was no significant group(field-dependent gamblers v.s.field-independent gamblers)differences in performance on Stroop Word Face Test.In conclusion,there was a higher state impulsivity for cognitive bias gamblers and cognitive style gamblers under the high ego depletion.
