Abstract

The purpose of this study was first to verify five factor model of gambling motives by using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis from current gambers and secondly to compare indirect model with direct model on gambling severity. Subjects were 221 gamblers participates in legal or illegal gambling such as casino, horse-racing, poker etc. The five motivational factors for gambling consist of the motives for socialization, the amusement, avoidance, excitement, and monetary. The extracted factors were adopted in order to construct an indirect model and a direct model, describing how gambling motives impact on gambling severity. The results showed that the fitness of the indirect effect model was more respectable than the direct model was: the motives for avoidance and excitement were indirectly mediated by the monetary motive in the effect on the gambling severity, whereas the monetary motive have the most powerful and direct effect among the extracted motivational factors. This previously underestimated monetary motive provides the first step towards developing more specialized instruments to predict the risk for problematic and pathological gambling behavior.
