This study investigated the relationship between gambling addiction and the Dark Triad among Japanese adult gamblers. The study participants were 360 Japanese adult gamblers. They were asked to complete an online questionnaire measuring their Dark Triad traits and the level or degree of their gambling addiction.
The results showed that Machiavellianism and narcissism were correlated with gambling addiction among men, whereas psychopathy was correlated with gambling addiction among both men and women. These results are partially consistent with those of previous studies conducted with Western samples.
