Gambling cognitions have constantly been associated with the development and maintenance of problem gambling. Despite researchers reporting high rates of gambling and problem gambling among the Chinese, little is known about the role of gambling cognitions among Chinese individuals (Raylu & Oei, 2004a). This is partly because there is a lack of validated instruments to assess gambling cognitions in this population. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to examine and validate the Gambling Related Cognitions Scale-Chinese version (GRCS-C), which was based on the 23-item Gambling Related Cognitions Scale (GRCS; Raylu & Oei, 2004b). Confirmatory Factory Analysis (CFA) using 422 Chinese participants (166 Male, 256 Female; Mean age = 32.28 years) from the general community (221 living in Australia and 201 living in Taiwan) confirmed that a five-factor model was a good fit for the data. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the overall scale was .95, and ranged from .83 to .89 for the five factors. Concurrent, discriminant, and predictive validities of the GRCS (Chinese version) were also good suggesting that the GRCS-C is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing gambling cognitions among non-clinical Chinese samples.
赌博认知一直与问题赌博的发展和维持有关。尽管研究人员报告称，中国人中有很高的赌博和问题赌博率，但对于中国人的赌博认知的作用却知之甚少（Raylu & Oei，2004a）。部分原因是缺乏用于评估该人群赌博认知的经过验证的工具。因此，本研究旨在检验和验证基于 23 项赌博相关认知量表（GRCS；Raylu & Oei，2004b）的中文版赌博相关认知量表（GRCS-C）。使用来自普通社区的 422 名中国参与者（166 名男性，256 名女性；平均年龄= 32.28 岁）（221 名居住在澳大利亚，201 名居住在台湾）的验证性因素分析（CFA）证实，五因素模型适合数据。总体量表的 Cronbach's alpha 系数为.95，五个因素的范围从.83 到.89。GRCS（中文版）的同时效度、判别效度和预测效度也很好，表明 GRCS-C 是评估非临床中国样本赌博认知的有效和可靠工具。
