根据1989年爱荷华州调查的数据（N=1,011），成年男性和女性受访者就他们的问题赌博、相关因素以及赌博行为进行了比较。赌博行为是指赌博的范围、频率、投注金额和赌博的闲暇时间。女性的赌博行为低于男性，这是由于女性的赌博行为范围较窄，但在频率、投注和赌博时间上，性别差异不显著。女性和男性在问题赌博上没有显著差异。问题赌博被衡量为对赌博失去控制，以及由于赌博和赌博行为而导致的后果。然而，在问题赌博的几个预测指标上，女性和男性确实存在显著差异。女性脱离了传统的生活方式，融入了赌博的社会世界，这似乎有助于解释她们的赌博问题。与女性相比，饮酒似乎是男性更重要的预测因素。男性和女性都有这样的看法，即赌博的几率是可以被打败的，而且花钱多的人是他们赌博问题的预测因素。结果解释了从业人员的努力，以防止和治疗问题赌博的思想。
With data from a 1989 Iowa survey (N=1,011), adult male and female respondents are compared on their problem gambling, its correlates, as well as their gambling behavior. Gambling behavior means its scope, frequency, wagering and leisure time spent at gambling. Women's gambling behavior was lower than that of men, due to their having a narrower scope of gambling behavior, but the genders were not significantly different on frequency, wagering and time spent at gambling. Women and men did not differ significantly on problem gambling. Problem gambling is measured as loss of control over gambling, and consequences due to gambling as well as gambling behavior. Women and men did differ significantly, however, on several predictors of problem gambling. Women's estrangement from a conventional lifestyle and integration into a social world of gambling appeared to help explain their problem gambling. Alcohol consumption appeared to be a more important predictor for men than women. The genders shared the attitude that the odds can be beat as well as being big spenders as predictors of their problem gambling. The results are interpreted with practitioners' efforts to prevent and treat problem gambling in mind.
