Abstract

The attitude is interpreted on the one hand, as a function of the individual's perception of - in our case, for example. the usefulness of gambling / harmful effects – on the other hand it is the internal controll of soical behavior (impulsion, motivation, pressure). A separated area of the research is attitude studies, where we examine the behavior of individuals to develop what causes cognitive and emotional factors. At present, it is also undisputed that researches attitudes and attitude scales capable of measuring attitudes at all: the results could not clearly show the link with the behavior (Tessényi 2013: 73). The attitude - based on the definition given by Allport  - was organized through experience mental and neural state of readiness, which is a dynamic leader or entice, a mobilizing effect on the individual reaction of all those situations towards which the attitude concerns (Allport 1935).


Below described in this study includes the examination of the hypothesis and statistical comparative analysis of five samples taken in 2016 and 2023, according to which the gamblers attitude mean values and standard deviations greater than the non-problem players.
