随着社交网络游戏的使用越来越多，游戏成瘾已经成为世界面临的一个严重挑战。本研究探讨了风险偏好、损失厌恶和时间偏好对日本青少年和年轻人在社交网络游戏中购买“Gacha”或战利品盒赌博行为的影响。我们调查了1，210名年龄在12至23岁之间的受访者;约34%的受访者购买了“Gacha”。我们发现，损失厌恶和风险厌恶的女性受访者支付“Gacha”的经验较少，每月收取的最高账单金额低于其他女性受访者。此外，面向未来的女性受访者的付款经验比面向现在的女性受访者少，前者每月收取的最高账单金额也较低。厌恶损失的男性受访者每月收取的最高账单金额明显低于其他男性受访者。
With the increasing use of social-network games, game addiction has become a serious challenge to the world. This study investigates the effects of risk preference, loss aversion, and time preference on the behaviour of Japanese adolescents and young adults purchasing ‘Gacha’, or loot box gambling, in social-network games. We surveyed 1,210 respondents, aged 12 to 23 years; approximately 34% of the respondents had purchased ‘Gacha’. We found that loss-averse and risk-averse female respondents had less experience paying for ‘Gacha’, with their highest billing amount charged per month being lower than that of other female respondents. Furthermore, future-oriented female respondents had less payment experience than present-oriented ones, with the highest billing amount charged per month for the former respondents being also lower. The highest billing amount charged per month of loss-averse male respondents was significantly lower than that of other male respondents.
