Dixon and Johnson (Anal Gambl Behav 1: 44-49, 2007) proposed the Gambling Functional Assessment as a tool to identify the consequences maintaining the respondent's gambling behavior, but subsequent studies on its psychometric properties suggested that it could use improvement. The present study investigated the internal consistency of the Gambling Functional Assessment--Revised using the responses of 1,060 undergraduate students. Temporal reliability was assessed by a second administration of the measure four (n = 87) or twelve (n = 98) weeks after the first administration. Temporal reliability was also compared to the South Oaks Gambling Screen (Lesieur and Blume in Am J Psychiatry 144: 1184-1188, 1987), which was also administered at both time points. Internal consistency measures were good to excellent, even when potential non-gamblers were excluded from the analyses. Temporal stability was also very good, with the possible exception of the consequence of "escape" at 12 weeks. The Gambling Functional Assessment--Revised represents a potentially useful tool for researchers and therapists interested in why respondents are gambling.
迪克森和约翰逊（Dixon and Johnson）（《分析赌博行为》，1:44-49，2007）提出了赌博功能评估，作为一种工具来识别维持受访者赌博行为的后果，但随后对其心理测量特性的研究表明，它可以改进。本研究调查了使用 1060 名大学生的回复对赌博功能评估修订版的内部一致性。通过在第一次评估后四周（n = 87）或十二周（n = 98）对该评估进行第二次评估来评估时间可靠性。时间可靠性还与南奥克斯赌博筛查（Lesieur 和 Blume，《美国精神病学杂志》，144:1184-1188，1987）进行了比较，该筛查也在两个时间点进行。即使从分析中排除了潜在的非赌徒，内部一致性指标仍然很好到优秀。时间稳定性也非常好，除了在 12 周时“逃避”的后果可能除外。赌博功能评估修订版代表了对研究人员和治疗师有兴趣了解为什么受访者在赌博的有用工具。
