Cloninger has proposed a model linking personality characteristics to patterns of responses to various stimuli, including alcohol. The model also uses personality characteristics to divide alcoholics into two types. In order to assess the relevant aspects of personality, the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ) was developed. This study examined the factor structure and correlates of the questionnaire to shed light on its validity. A confirmatory factor analysis of the TPQ failed to replicate the three proposed factors of novelty seeking, harm avoidance and reward dependence. Alternative models also failed to fit the data. The three factors were correlated with other personality measures theoretically linked to drinking (MacAndrew, Socialization and Sensation-Seeking scales), quantity and frequency measures of alcohol use and a measure of alcohol abuse (the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test). The pattern of correlations provides evidence for the convergent validity of the TPQ. Nevertheless, the failure to replicate the factor structure suggests that the scale requires further revision before the model can be adequately tested.
克隆宁格提出了一个将人格特征与对包括酒精在内的各种刺激的反应模式联系起来的模型。该模型还利用人格特征将酗酒者分为两种类型。为了评估人格的相关方面，编制了三维人格问卷（TPQ）。本研究考察了该问卷的因素结构及其相关因素，以阐明其效度。对TPQ的验证性因素分析未能重现所提出的寻求新奇、避免伤害和奖赏依赖这三个因素。替代模型也未能拟合数据。这三个因素与理论上与饮酒相关的其他人格测量（麦克安德鲁量表、社会化量表和感觉寻求量表）、酒精使用的量和频率测量以及一项酒精滥用测量（密歇根酒精ism筛查测试）相关。相关模式为TPQ的收敛效度提供了证据。然而，未能重现因素结构表明，在该模型能够得到充分检验之前，该量表需要进一步修订。
