Personality 1xbet online sports betting : developmental antecedents and behavioral implications

Dissertation Abstract

This study was designed to investigate the presence of non-pathological personality multiplicities in mentally well-adjusted individuals.

Based on prior relevant literature a theoretical model of personality 1xbet online sports betting is developed and a number of hypotheses based on this model are tested. The central instrument employed for this purpose is the Dale Lifestyle Inventory (DLI) which has been shown in prior work by the author (Boone, 1994) to reliably measure the tendency toward 1xbet online sports betting . 273 undergraduate volunteers completed the DLI and four additional instruments including a childhood stress questionnaire, a test of situational scenarios for behavioral characteristics, the California Inventory (private and public self-consciousness), and the Self-Monitoring test.

Results showed that slightly more than half of all subjects tested produced scores in the 1xbet online sports betting range (i.e. $), strongly supporting the hypothesis that personality multiplicities frequently occur in the normal population. A high correlation was found between DLI scores and stress in early childhood for the high 1xbet online sports betting group (r =.50, p $<$.01). Also, a moderately significant correlation was found between DLI scores and scenarios results for the high 1xbet online sports betting respondents, suggesting they engage in more pluralistic behaviors.

The DLI scores and self-monitoring scores of high 1xbet online sports betting individuals were also highly correlated (r =.48, p $<$.01). This was interpreted as indicating the use of self-monitoring as an adaptive mechanism, a hypothesis also supported by the discovery of a moderate negative correlation between DLI scores and the social anxiety subscale of the California inventory.

A test of cognitive flexibility was undertaken using 41 subjects. ANOVA analysis of results indicated high 1xbet online sports betting individuals exhibited significantly higher levels of cognitive flexibility than the other groups.

It is concluded that personality multiplicities are relatively common in the normal population, and they are the result of an adaptive response to stress, mediated through the use of such mechanisms as cognitive flexibility and self-monitoring.
