An important factor in understanding relapse in problem gambling is temptation to gamble. This paper evaluates the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Temptations for Gambling Questionnaire (TGQ), a new measure of temptation to gamble in 21 high-risk situations. The TGQ was administered to 101 recently-quit pathological gamblers (65 males and 36 females). Principle components analysis supported a four-factor structure, with factors representing Negative Affect, Positive Mood / Impulsivity, Seeking Wins or Money, and Social Factors. Construct validity of the scale was supported by the consistency of the factors with social learning theory, Marlatt’s cognitive behavioral model of relapse, and prior research on gambling relapse. Internal consistency of the TGQ and its factors was strong (a = 0.80 to 0.91). The TGQ holds promise as a reliable and valid measure of temptation to gamble.
