Predictors of gambling among university students: the role of gender, sociality and attitudes towards risk

In this paper, we seek to integrate the socio-psychological analysis of gambling behavior with the economic one. In particular, on the base of a questionnaire administered to university students, we analyze how attitudes towards risk, more precisely, the amount at stake at which preference for certainty prevails, contribute to predicting the probability of becoming a gambler.
