Some clinicians working with families with alcohol or other drug problems continue to use the codependency model to guide their practice despite the limited empirical support for this approach. Research into codependency has been hampered by the lack of psychometrically sound instruments. The Holyoake Codependency Index (HCI; G. E. Dear & C. M. Roberts, 2000) is a 13-item self-report measure of codependent traits that has previously shown adequate to high reliability, initial evidence of construct validity, and an internal structure that is consistent across samples. In the 4 studies reported here, the internal structure of the HCI was confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis, and further evidence of construct validity was found in that the HCI subscales showed meaningful associations with other psychological and demographic variables.
一些为有酒精或其他药物问题的家庭提供服务的临床医生，尽管这种方法得到的实证支持有限，但仍继续使用相互依赖模型来指导他们的实践。由于缺乏心理测量学上可靠的工具，对相互依赖的研究受到了阻碍。霍利奥克相互依赖指数（HCI；G.E.迪尔和C.M.罗伯茨，2000）是一项由13个项目组成的自我报告测量工具，用于测量相互依赖特质，此前已显示出足够高的信度、初步的结构效度证据，以及跨样本一致的内部结构。在本文报道的4项研究中，通过验证性因素分析证实了HCI的内部结构，并且发现了进一步的结构效度证据，即HCI分量表与其他心理和人口统计学变量显示出有意义的关联。
