Abstract(s)
A presente tese teve como objetivo estudar a influência de variáveis psicológicas na
performance de jogadores de poker. Especificamente, foi estudada a inteligência emocional e
os processos de tomada de decisão em jogadores de poker, e testada a forma estas mesmas
variáveis afetam a performance dos mesmos.
A amostra do presente estudo foi composta por 98 participantes, com idades
compreendidas entre os 21 anos e os 48 anos (M = 30.53, DP = 5.39).
Os resultados evidenciaram que a tomada de decisão intuitiva é uma variável relevante
neste contexto, detendo uma relação positiva e significativa com a performance, não só
percebida, como também objetiva. Foi também possível verificar uma relação significativa e
positiva entre a experiência dos jogadores de poker (operacionalizada através do número de
anos de prática profissional) e desempenho objetivo. A análise de mediação testada, não
forneceu evidência para a hipótese de que o efeito preditor positivo da experiência no
desempenho dos jogadores é mediada pela tomada de decisão intuitiva.

Specifically, we studied the emotional intelligence and decision-making processes in poker players, and tested how these same variables affect their performance. The sample of the present study consisted of 98 participants, aged between 21 and 48 years (M = 30.53, SD = 5.39). The results showed that intuitive decision-making is a relevant variable in this context, having a positive and significant relationship with performance, not only perceived, but also objective. It was also possible to verify a significant and positive relationship between the experience of poker players (operationalized through the number of years of professional practice) and objective performance. The tested mediation analysis did not provide evidence for the hypothesis that the positive predictive effect of experience on player performance is mediated by intuitive decision making.
