description: Stage 1 Registered Report: http://dx.doi.org/10.23668/psycharchives.14372. The rapid expansion of online sports betting has raised concerns about its potential impact on individual health and public health. In order to further develop etiological models for gambling disorder (GD) in sports betting, it is essential to unravel the underlying causal processes. Recent studies have identified risky online gambling behavior as an early indicator of GD. This study focuses on impulsivity as a well-documented risk factor for GD and investigated whether increased impulsivity leads to risky online gambling behavior and subsequently contributes to GD. Impulsivity, risky gambling behavior, and GD symptoms were assessed three times at three-month intervals using a longitudinal cross-lagged panel design. We recruited a final sample of n = 427 regular sports bettors from the online gambling provider Tipico. Impulsivity and GD were assessed using a combination of online experimental tasks and questionnaires. As a measure of risky gambling behavior, Tipico provided player tracking data for all participants. Random intercept cross‐lagged panel models were used to test the evidence for our hypotheses. Results showed partial support for the role of impulsivity in the development of GD, particularly through facets such as impulsive choice and certain impulsive personality traits. However, the findings suggest that impulsivity does not directly predict risky betting behavior, nor does such behavior mediate the relationship between impulsivity and GD severity. These results emphasize the complexity of pathways to GD, highlighting the need to explore multifactorial models incorporating emotional, cognitive, and environmental mediators.

Die rasche Ausbreitung von Online-Sportwetten hat Bedenken hinsichtlich ihrer potenziellen Auswirkungen auf die Gesundheit des Einzelnen sowie die öffentliche Gesundheit aufkommen lassen. Um ätiologische Modelle für Glücksspielsucht (GSS) bei Sportwetten weiterzuentwickeln, müssen die zugrunde liegenden kausalen Prozesse entschlüsselt werden. Jüngste Studien haben risikoreiches Online-Glücksspielverhalten als Frühindikator für Spielsucht identifiziert. Diese Studie konzentriert sich auf Impulsivität als gut dokumentierten Risikofaktor für Spielsucht und untersucht, ob erhöhte Impulsivität zu riskantem Online-Glücksspielverhalten führt und anschließend zu Spielsucht beiträgt. Impulsivität, riskantes Glücksspielverhalten und GSS-Symptome wurden dreimal in dreimonatigen Abständen in einem längsschnittlichen, verzögerten Paneldesign untersucht. Wir rekrutierten eine endgültige Stichprobe von n = 427 regelmäßigen Sportwettern des Online-Glücksspielanbieters Tipico. Impulsivität und GSS wurden mit einer Kombination aus experimentellen Online-Aufgaben und Fragebögen untersucht. Als Maß für riskantes Spielverhalten stellte Tipico für alle Teilnehmer Spieler-Tracking-Daten zur Verfügung. Um die Evidenz für unsere Hypothesen zu testen, wurden kreuzverzögerte Panelmodelle mit zufälligem Intercept verwendet. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass die Rolle der Impulsivität bei der Entwicklung von GSS teilweise unterstützt wird, insbesondere durch Facetten wie impulsive Entscheidungen und bestimmte impulsive Persönlichkeitseigenschaften. Die Ergebnisse deuten jedoch darauf hin, dass Impulsivität weder direkt riskantes Wettverhalten vorhersagt, noch die Beziehung zwischen Impulsivität und dem Schweregrad von GSS vermittelt. Diese Ergebnisse unterstreichen die Komplexität der Entstehungswege von GSS und verdeutlichen die Notwendigkeit, multifaktorielle Modelle zu erforschen, die emotionale, kognitive und umweltbedingte Mediatoren einbeziehen.
