Higher Risk Taking and Impaired Probability Judgment in Behavioral Addiction.

Post hoc ANCOVAs that controlled for the eFIQ unveiled significant or marginally significant differences between behavioral addicts and control subjects in the loss amounts of 10 JPY (F 1,42 = 4.55; P = .039), 100 JPY (F 1,42 = 3.41; P = .072), 10 000 JPY (F 1,42 = 3.08; P = .087), and 100 000 JPY (F 1,42 = 4.07; P = .050; Figure 2d ), suggesting that behavioral addicts tended to take more risks (make bets with a smaller amount available to win) than control subjects.
