1. Most players of chess are too lazy to improve. So they substitute for the lack of skill with other things, to try and win. Or perhaps they just like a fast game with some chance to win, instead of wanting to improve at all.
2. I assume its because they want to maintain their ratings higher. If their "time playing" is not working against a good player, they run. Simple really.
3. Can only assume lack of maturity. But usually the cowards are the runners! However sometimes people run if they feel they are being insulted by the lack of ability. It depends what type of game you are looking for.
4. Nationality has no bearing on it.
5. No. Some unskilled players are trying to improve their game. And not all time players are runners, and vice versa.

Instead of generalising, it is better to watch. On internet sites, the best question to ask yourself about a player is "How did they achieve that rating?".
"The questions are the answers you might need."
I give you an appreciation of the seriousness in responding to my question. Your answer is the most satisfying response among all the response. You really understand about the psychology of the game. Thanks in advance.
Love the tubes! Busted my gut on that one. Kinda like watching some of the dog videos on YouTube.
