Increased tolerance to alcohol is considered a risk factor for developing future problems. While college students are considered a high-risk population in relation to alcohol use it is suggested that tolerance operates differently in this population than in chronic drinking samples. Individuals' perceptions about their level of tolerance measured by social cues and comparisons to peers may influence drinking behavior. The present study evaluated the Social Tolerance Index (STI), a measure designed to examine perceptions about personal tolerance to alcohol using social cues in college students. College students (n = 177) completed measures of social tolerance, social desirability, drinking rates, and demographic information at baseline, 2-week, and 4-week follow-up assessments to assess test-retest reliability. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on the STI. In addition, tests of discriminant, construct and predictive validities were also conducted. The STI demonstrated good reliability and validity for use in a college student population.
对酒精耐受性的增加被认为是未来出现问题的一个风险因素。虽然大学生被视为与酒精使用相关的高风险人群，但有人认为耐受性在这一人群中的作用方式与在长期饮酒样本中的不同。个体通过社会线索以及与同龄人比较来衡量的对自身耐受水平的认知可能会影响饮酒行为。本研究评估了社会耐受指数（STI），这是一种旨在利用社会线索来检验大学生对酒精个人耐受性认知的测量方法。大学生（n = 177）在基线、2周和4周随访评估时完成了社会耐受性、社会期望性、饮酒率和人口统计学信息的测量，以评估重测信度。对社会耐受指数进行了验证性因素分析。此外，还进行了区分效度、结构效度和预测效度检验。社会耐受指数在大学生群体中显示出良好的信度和效度。
