旨在
本研究旨在发展和评估赌博动机的自我报告措施。参与者社区招募的193名赌徒（70%男性;平均年龄= 35.5岁）的样本被选中，以填补两组根据得分在南橡树赌博屏幕：可能的病理性赌徒（PPG; n = 154）和非病理性赌徒（NPG; n = 39）。
措施
参与者完成了一个新的15项赌博动机测量，称为赌博动机问卷（GMQ），这是仿照原始饮酒动机问卷，以及各种赌博行为和问题标准的措施。
结果
探索性主成分分析显示三个相互关联的因素挖掘增强（ENH），应对（COP），和社会（SOC）的动机，分别。每个GMQ分量表显示出良好的内部一致性（α> 0.80）。PPG组在所有三个量表上的得分均高于NPG组，ENH和COP的差异更大。与临床文献一致，PPG女性的COP子量表评分高于PPG男性，但意外的是，SOC子量表评分也高于PPG男性。在并发效度分析中，ENH一致预测更大的赌博行为，COP和ENH一致预测更严重的赌博问题。在赌博行为水平得到控制的情况下，只有COP仍然是赌博问题严重程度的重要预测因素。最后，在预测赌博问题的严重性，性别与赌博动机相互作用：COP预测赌博问题更强烈的女性，而ENH预测赌博问题更强烈的男性。
结论
GMQ似乎是一个很有前途的工具，研究和临床应用问题赌徒。
AIMS
This study was designed to develop and evaluate a self-report measure of gambling motives. Participants A community-recruited sample of 193 gamblers (70% male; mean age = 35.5 years) were selected to fill two groups according to scores on the South Oaks Gambling Screen: probable pathological gamblers (PPG; n = 154) and non-pathological gamblers (NPG; n = 39).
MEASURES
Participants completed a novel 15-item measure of gambling motives called the Gambling Motives Questionnaire (GMQ), which was modeled after the original Drinking Motives Questionnaire, as well as a variety of gambling behavior and problem criterion measures.
RESULTS
An exploratory principal components analysis revealed three intercorrelated factors tapping enhancement (ENH), coping (COP), and social (SOC) motives, respectively. Each GMQ subscale showed good internal consistency (alphas > 0.80). The PPG group scored higher on all three scales than the NPG group, with larger differences for ENH and COP. In line with the clinical literature, PPG women scored higher than PPG men on the COP subscale but also, unexpectedly, on the SOC subscale. In concurrent validity analyses, ENH consistently predicted greater gambling behavior, and COP and ENH consistently predicted more severe gambling problems. With gambling behavior levels controlled, only COP remained a significant predictor of gambling problem severity. Finally, gender interacted with gambling motives in predicting gambling problem severity: COP predicted gambling problems more strongly in women, whereas ENH predicted gambling problems more strongly in men.
CONCLUSIONS
The GMQ appears to be a promising tool for both research and clinical applications with problem gamblers.
