本研究旨在探討個人特性——專業背景是否和愛荷華賭局作業中之思考反應時間具有顯著相關性。以國立成功大學學生為研究樣本並以社群媒體作為平台招募自願受試者為主要資料取得來源。實證結果發現，九大學院學生中，以管理學院作為對照組，就讀理學院、電機資訊學院及社會科學院的學生反應時間較短，其他學院背景和反應時間則無顯著相關性。在男性樣本中，理學院、工學院及電機資訊學院的學生反應時間顯著較短；女性樣本中則是社會科學院的學生反應時間較短。
本文的主要貢獻為有別於過去文獻主要探討愛荷華賭局作業測驗表現與相關因素之關聯性，不再侷限於探討愛荷華賭局作業之測驗表現，而是運用愛荷華賭局作業，探討個人學院背景和思考反應時間之關聯性，實證結果對於心理學、行為財務學分析具有參考價值。

This study investigates whether personal characteristics are associated with reaction time in the Iowa Gambling Task, using professional background as a measure of personal characteristics. Students at National Cheng Kung University are the research objects. We use ordinary least squares regression to examine the relation between college background and the reaction time in the Iowa Gambling Task.The empirical results show that among the students of the nine colleges, students of college of science and maths, college of electrical machinery, and college of society have shorter reaction time in the Iowa Gambling Task when college of management is used as the control group. However, there is no significant relation between the background of the other colleges and the reaction time. Furthermore, in the male samples, the reaction time of students of the college of science and maths, electrical machinery and physics is significantly shorter. In the female samples, it is students of the college of society who have shorter reaction time. Most previous studies focused on the performance of the Iowa Gambling Task to examine the impact of different personal characteristics and mental disorders on decision-making. Since reaction time is an important indicator of psychological research, this study contributes to the literature by combining reaction time and college background. Consequently, it is believed that these findings have important implications for academic analysis on related cognitive psychology and behavioral finance research.
