A growing body of evidence is documenting the significant role of cognitive factors in influencing gambling behaviors. Although measures of cognitive biases have been developed, further validation of these scales is needed among non-Western samples. The 21-item Gamblers' Belief Questionnaire was originally developed and validated by Steenbergh et al. (in Psychol. Addict. Behav., 16: 143-149, 2002). The scale then has been widely used in the gambling research of the West. The present study was designed to examine and validate the Chinese version of Gamblers' Belief Questionnaire (GBQ-C) using 258 Chinese participants. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated the 2-factor model provided a good fit to the data as evidenced by various model fit indices (CFI = .91, RMSEA = .08 and SRMR = .05). Additional evidence for the validity of the GBQ-C was provided by significant correlations with other relevant measures (range .40-.75). In sum, the present study provides support for the GBQ-C as a valuable tool for assessing gambling cognitions among Chinese samples.
越来越多的证据表明，认知因素在影响赌博行为方面起着重要作用。虽然已经开发出了衡量认知偏差的措施，但仍需要在非西方样本中进一步验证这些量表。21 项赌徒信念问卷最初是由 Steenbergh 等人开发和验证的（在《心理成瘾行为》杂志，16：143-149，2002）。该量表随后在西方的赌博研究中得到了广泛应用。本研究旨在使用 258 名中国参与者检验和验证赌徒信念问卷的中文版本（GBQ-C）。验证性因素分析表明，双因素模型为数据提供了良好的拟合，各种模型拟合指数（CFI=0.91，RMSEA=0.08 和 SRMR=0.05）都证明了这一点。GBQ-C 与其他相关测量方法（范围为 0.40-0.75）的显著相关性为其有效性提供了额外的证据。总之，本研究为 GBQ-C 在中国样本中评估赌博认知提供了有力的工具。
