abstract = {The present study identified Social, Financial, and Fun/thrill-related gambling motives factors,
 but also a fourth factor in which some positive and negative reinforcement-based
 motives were grouped into a single and broader Affect regulation factor. This Affect regulation
 factor shared variance both with BIS and BAS-related measures, and was the only
 direct predictor of disordered gambling symptoms. The Fun/thrill factor was directly related
 to frequency of participation in high-arousal, skill-based games, and all factors were related
 to participation in lower-arousal, chance games (with Social motives negatively predicting
 both participation in the latter and total severity). In the SEM model, measures of BIS/BAS
 sensitivity were connected to gambling behavior only through gambling motives. Based on
 measures of items’ specificity, a shortened Spanish scale (the brief Gambling Motives
 Inventory, bGMI) is proposed to assess gambling motives in accordance with the observed
 4-factor structure.},
