In Retrospect
In this study, we explored the correlation between emotional management and impulsive betting in gaming activities, identified the psychological factors that influence players' behavior, and proposed a series of control strategies. By systematically analyzing emotional responses in different contexts, our study provides theoretical support for improving the quality of bettors' decisions. Controlling impulsive betting not only helps to improve the overall experience of bettors, but also helps to reduce the financial risks associated with excessive betting. Future research could further explore the emotional impact in different cultural contexts and customized interventions for specific populations. Further empirical research will be key to moving the field forward. We hope that our study will shed light on the practices of the gaming industry and contribute to the formation of a healthier gaming environment.
