Abstract

This research examined motivational orientations and gambling motives. Undergraduates who met 2+ SOGS criteria participated in a laboratory survey. Autonomy was positively associated with gambling for enjoyment, whereas control was predictive of gambling for chasing, winning, challenge, skill, and competition, supporting an evaluation of gambling behavior using a SDT framework.
