Comparative Analysis of Personality Traits in Online Gambling: Systematic Review
Öz
The global rise in internet usage has significantly altered how people spend their leisure time, including gambling—one of the oldest and most hazardous forms of entertainment. This transformation has given rise to online gambling, a modern counterpart to traditional land-based gambling. This study aimed to (a) review existing findings on personality traits associated with online gambling and (b) compare the personality profiles of online gamblers to those of land-based gamblers. A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, utilizing databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ULAKBIM TR Index, Turkish Psychiatry Index, Asos Index, and SOBIAD Index. Of the studies screened, 12 met the inclusion criteria. Findings highlighted that online gamblers are predominantly male, with higher levels of education and income compared to land-based gamblers. Key personality traits associated with online gambling addiction include high levels of sensation seeking, novelty seeking, neuroticism, and impulsivity, alongside low levels of self-directedness, cooperativeness, and extraversion. While these traits are also linked to land-based gambling, online gamblers were found to score lower in extraversion and honesty-humility. Additionally, some studies noted that online gamblers tend to accumulate greater gambling debts and experience higher gambling-related harms. Clinical studies revealed that individuals who engaged in both types of gambling—online and land-based—were most closely associated with pathological gambling behaviors. These findings underscore the role of specific personality traits and the unique risks posed by online gambling in the development of gambling addiction.
