The Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale (SOCRATES) is an instrument used to measure the level of motivation in regards to changing drinking and other addictive behaviors. While some initial factor analysis studies on the SOCRATES described a three-factor orthogonal structure of the scale, some other studies found a two-factor correlated structure. Therefore, the primary objective of the present study was to test the validity of the Korean language version of the instrument using a Korean population. The study examined the factor structure of the Korean version of the SOCRATES with clinical samples consisting of 219 inpatients and 271 outpatients with alcohol dependency. An exploratory factor analysis with an alpha factoring method revealed a three-factor correlated structure (i.e., Taking Steps, Recognition, and Ambivalence). The factorial structure of the SOCRATES Korean version corresponded almost exactly to that of its original French version as well as the German version. Moreover, confirmatory factor analyses showed that a three-factor correlated structure provided the best fit for the data.
改变阶段准备和治疗渴望量表（SOCRATES）是一种用于测量与改变饮酒和其他成瘾行为相关的动机水平的工具。虽然一些关于 SOCRATES 的初始因子分析研究描述了该量表的三因素正交结构，但其他一些研究发现了两因素相关结构。因此，本研究的主要目的是使用韩国人群来检验该工具的韩语版本的有效性。该研究使用包括 219 名住院患者和 271 名酒精依赖门诊患者在内的临床样本，对 SOCRATES 韩语版本的因子结构进行了检验。采用α因子分析的探索性因子分析揭示了三因素相关结构（即采取步骤、识别和矛盾心理）。SOCRATES 韩语版本的因子结构几乎与原版法语版本和德语版本完全一致。此外，验证性因子分析表明，三因素相关结构为数据提供了最佳拟合。
