The purpose of this study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire (AEQ) in a large community sample.
This study is a cross-sectional survey design that utilized face-to-face interviews. Participants were recruited through their participation in the St. Louis Epidemiological Catchment Area study. Subjects (N = 753) were re-interviewed 11 years after their initial ECA interview, with the goal of detection of new cases of alcoholism. Of the 733 who completed the AEQ, 62% were women and 52% were married. Ages ranged from 29 to 62, with an avenge (SD) age of 43 (8.18). The racial breakdown of the sample was diverse, with 57% white, 38% black and 5% of another ethnicity.
The AEQ is comprised of six factors that explain 47% of the variance in the AEQ. Five of the factors have strong internal consistency, ranging from 0.78 to 0.93. The sixth factor has an internal consistency of 0.51.
Using a large community sample, the results reported herein replicate those of the original researchers.
本研究旨在评估在一个大型社区样本中酒精预期问卷（AEQ）的心理测量特性。
本研究采用横断面调查设计，运用面对面访谈。参与者通过参与圣路易斯流行病学集水区研究招募而来。在最初的ECA访谈11年后对受试者（N = 753）进行再次访谈，目的是检测酒精中毒新病例。在完成AEQ的733人中，62%为女性，52%已婚。年龄范围为29至62岁，平均（标准差）年龄为43（8.18）岁。样本的种族构成多样，57%为白人，38%为黑人，5%为其他种族。
AEQ由六个因素组成，这些因素解释了AEQ中47%的方差。其中五个因素具有很强的内部一致性，范围从0.78至0.93。第六个因素的内部一致性为0.51。
使用大型社区样本，本文报告的结果重复了原始研究者的结果。
