- The mystery of gambling addiction is that gambling is as addictive as alcoholism and drug addiction because gambling can cause a series of physiological reactions in the human body, including the acceleration of heart rate and the release of some hormones in the body, so that people are completely excited and addicted.
German researchers have found that gambling can be as addictive as drinking and drugging because gambling can cause a series of physiological reactions in the body, including an accelerated heart rate and the release of some hormones in the body, thereby putting people in a state of complete excitement and addiction.
Researchers at the Institute of Psychology and Cognition at the University of Bremen, Germany, randomly observed the behavior and stress response of 10 male gamblers at the casino. Their heart rate was measured when they played blackjack and no money at poker, and their saliva samples were taken to test the hormone secretion content. It was found that heart rate was significantly faster when gambling than when not gambling. At the same time, the content of hormone secretion in their saliva was significantly higher than when they did not gamble money, and the content remained unchanged after the gambling game ended.
Researchers believe that the release of hormones during gambling is similar to the body's stress response to emergency events such as skydiving, and the mood will suddenly rise, and this state of excitement will remain for several hours after the gambling is over.
Researchers pointed out in the November issue of "Biological Psychiatry" that "gambling raises emotions, and winning money can produce a happy mental state." The physiological response caused by gambling may strengthen and induce gamblers to experience this again. stimulate.
