Abstract

The purpose of this study was to test the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Gambling Urge Scale(Raylu & Oei, 2004a). The urge or craving to gamble is a physiological, psychological, or emotional motivational state, often associated with continued gambling. The factor structure, reliability, item property and criterion-related evidence of validity are analyzed for 1,158 adults including local casino employee and customers. The Korean version of the Gambling Urge Scale, in a similar way as the original version, displays a stable one factor structure and high reliability(Cronhach's alpha=.93∼95), showing good convergent validity(level of gambling addiction r=.258∼.587, frequency of gambling behaviors r=.336, irrational gambling belief r=.397, gambling motivations r=.420∼.614, all ps<.001). Findings suggest that the K-GUS is reliable and valid in assessing gambling craving during a gambling addiction studies. Implications of the findings and directions for research on gambling addiction are discussed.
