Drinking motives proved to be proximate predictors of alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems. Results revealing the importance of drinking motives opened the door to examine the motivational background of other substance use behaviours as well as behavioural addictions. The development of assessment made it possible to examine the role of motives in relation to cannabis use, gambling behaviour, video gaming, pornography use and other potentially addictive behaviours. Not only did these studies reveal the motivational background of these different behaviours, but they also pointed out which of these should be considered significant risk factors in developing problematic behaviours. The paper summarizes the results of the past two decades aiming to understand the motivational background of addictive behaviours and presents the similarities and differences among different addictive disorders. Findings also underline the assumption that motives play an important role in mediating the impact of psychiatric symptoms on behavioural addictions.<\/p>\n
