Dimensionality and validity of the Gambling Motives Questionnaire - Financial among lottery loyalty program participants.
Article in Addictive behaviors reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: The Gambling Motives Questionnaire-Financial (GMQ-F) measures four gambling motives and these overlapping constructs may be distinct but also represent an overall gambling motivation. Thus, this study examined the scale's factor structure by testing multiple-factor model configurations and then analyzing the association between these constructs and a problem gambling assessment. Methods: Data from a lottery loyalty program in a Midwestern state in the United States were analyzed ( Results: Bifactor indices suggested limited multidimensionality with most of the variance explained by overall gambling motives, and limited variances explained by specific motives except financial motives. In the SEM, general motives were associated with a higher PGSI score. Social motives were associated with a lower PGSI score, while coping motives were associated with a higher score. Enhancement and financial motives showed no associations with PGSI scores. Conclusions: Our findings support the value of the GMQ-F as an instrument for measuring gambling motivation, with the caveat that the types of motivations or subscales are highly correlated. Future research should explore the financial gain as a distinct motivation for gambling.
