This paper reports the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of Craving Beliefs Questionnaire (CCBQ), an easy-to-administer assessment instrument of measurement of craving beliefs for heroin abusers.
Participants were 445 heroin abusers from four methadone clinics in Northern Taiwan. Fifty-one of the participants were tested twice within a two-week period at a different hospital to examine test-retest reliability.
Three-factor solution using principal component analysis was identified in the CCBQ: will power, compulsive behavior, and negative coping, accounting for 54.6% of the variance. Internal consistency analysis indicated that the three factors have strong reliability, with Cronbach alphas ranging from .81 to .92. The test-retest ICC coefficient is .80. The test-retest coefficients for the subscales will power, compulsive behavior, and negative coping are .76, .51, and .64, respectively. Overall, the data show that the CCBQ has acceptable reliability and validity, demonstrating that it can be a research instrument for assessing heroin craving beliefs.
The psychometric properties of the CCBQ seem promising for both research and clinical purposes, and the scale thus deserves further refinement and validation with heroin abusers.
本文报告了中文版渴求信念问卷(CCBQ)的心理测量特性,这是一种易于管理的海洛因成瘾者渴求信念测量工具。
参与者为来自台湾北部四家美沙酮诊所的 445 名海洛因成瘾者。其中 51 名参与者在不同医院的两周内接受了两次测试,以检验测试-重测信度。
使用主成分分析确定了 CCBQ 的三因素解决方案:意志力、强迫行为和消极应对,占总方差的 54.6%。内部一致性分析表明,三个因素具有很强的可靠性,克朗巴赫 α 值在 0.81 到 0.92 之间。测试-重测 ICC 系数为 0.80。子量表意志力、强迫行为和消极应对的重测系数分别为 0.76、0.51 和 0.64。总体而言,数据表明 CCBQ 具有可接受的信度和效度,表明它可以成为评估海洛因渴求信念的研究工具。
CCBQ 的心理测量特性似乎在研究和临床方面都很有前景,因此该量表值得进一步完善和验证,以适用于海洛因成瘾者。
