Abstract	The Inventory of Gambling Motives, Attitudes and Behaviours (GMAB) is the very first indigenous inventory for assessing Chinese gambling cognitions and behavior. It specifically taps three domains, namely, motives, attitudes and behaviours, and consists of 15 subscales. It assesses gambling motives from six facets (i.e., self-worth, monetary gains, sensation seeking, boredom alleviation, learning, and socialization), attitudes from four facets (i.e., fate and luck, negative gambling consequences, techniques, and superstition), and behaviours from five facets (i.e., impaired control, gambling involvement, arousal reaction, superstitious behavior, and controlled gambling). The inventory was developed and revised with a representative Chinese adult sample. This study aims to examine the validity of the inventory with a university sample. Data were collected in a public university in China. Four hundred and twenty seven participants filled out the self –administer questionnaire voluntarily without monetary reward. The preliminary findings demonstrated that, the factor structures remained the same. After minor refinements, the psychometric properties were satisfactory. Therefore, GMAB is a valid and reliable assessment tool for university student gambling.
