Gambling behavior often involves making choices between concurrently available game options. With regard to slot machine gambling,
multiple games allow for choices to be made with respect to which game to play. The authors of the present study used a slot
machine simulation created in Visual Basic. NET to examine gambling preference. The specific question addressed was whether
gamblers prefer a smaller payout more often (averaging around every 10 spins) over a larger payout less often (averaging around
every 50 spins). Two types of reinforcement were examined during the study: frequency of payouts and the amount of credits
won. The results indicate that participants had a preference for a slot machine with the more frequent payout as opposed to
one with more intermittent payout. These results support existing literature on theories of choice and provide a step toward
understanding human gambling behavior. 相似文献

This study examined associations between past interpersonal victimization (including both child and adult victimization) and sexual harassment (SH); and it examined intervening and moderating variables of the association of past victimization with SH, including posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and job-gender context. In addition, we examined an alternative hypothesis for revictimization that abuse survivors are hyper-sensitive to perceptions of sexual harassment. Employed women residing in Kentucky (U.S.) who had received an order of protection from a male partner and who were followed-up 12 months later (n?=?445, 78 % White, mean age?=?31.98, SD?=?8.60) were selected for this analysis. SH experienced between baseline and follow-up interviews was associated with baseline assessments of child nonsexual assault experiences (r?=?0.24, p?<?0.001) and intimate partner violence victimization (r?=?0.20, p?<?0.000), demonstrating a revictimization effect. PTSS mediated the relationship between child sexual assault, child nonsexual assault and subsequent SH. Further, working in a job with a male supervisor or in a male-dominated workgroup increased associations between child nonsexual abuse and subsequent SH. No support was found for the hyper-sensitivity hypothesis. Findings are consistent with prior research that identifies sexual harassment as a form of interpersonal violence that mental health and victim service providers and researchers should include in their assessment and treatment strategies. Employers should also understand that working in male-dominated work environments compound the risk of sexual harassment for those with prior abuse histories and should be vigilant to reducing these risks. 相似文献
