Abstract
This research examines the interaction between emotion regulation and gambling through physiological patterns. Utilizing innovative laboratory and ecological paradigms, the study monitors electrodermal activity, heart rate, and declarative responses during betting tasks. Heightened physiological reactions tied to decision points and successful bets are anticipated, with magnitude correlating with reward size.
