Does gambling preference level affect occupational fraud behavior?-Evidence from a survey study in China.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Occupational fraud presents significant economic challenges globally. This study aims to understand the factors contributing to such fraudulent behavior and to develop strategies to mitigate it, focusing on the relationship between gambling preferences and occupational fraud within the framework of the fraud triangle theory, emphasizing the 'pressure' element. To explore this relationship, the research employed several methods, including reliability and validity tests, correlation analysis, and regression analysis, to strengthen the survey research. The findings indicate that individuals with stronger gambling preferences are more likely to engage in occupational fraud. This relationship is mediated by ego depletion and moderated by psychological capital and superstitious beliefs, which align with theoretical models of cognitive biases. Further analysis reveals that psychological capital and superstitious beliefs play a moderating role through the mediating effect pathway from gambling preferences to ego depletion. The study provides valuable insights for developing effective fraud prevention strategies in corporate governance.
