To evaluate the psychometric properties of a previously published questionnaire designed to assess young drinkers' self-efficacy to employ 31 cognitive-behavioral alcohol reduction strategies.
Undergraduates (n = 353) recruited from a large Midwestern university completed the previously published Alcohol Reduction Strategies-Current Confidence questionnaire (and other measures) for a self-selected heavy drinking setting.
Item loadings from a principal components analysis, a high internal consistency reliability coefficient, and a moderate mean inter-item correlation suggested that all 31 items comprised a single scale. Correlations of questionnaire scores with selected aspects of drinking history and personality provided support for criterion and discriminant validity, respectively. Women reported higher current confidence to use these strategies than did men, but current confidence did not vary as a function of recent binge status.
Given this further demonstration of its psychometric qualities, this questionnaire holds promise as a clinical tool to identify clients who lack confidence in their ability to employ cognitive-behavioral coping strategies to reduce their drinking.
评估先前发表的问卷评估年轻饮酒者采用 31 种认知行为戒酒策略的自我效能的心理测量学特性。
从一所中西部的大型大学招募的本科生（n=353）在自我选择的重度饮酒环境中完成了先前发表的《酒精减少策略-当前信心问卷》（及其他措施）。
主成分分析的项目负荷、较高的内部一致性可靠性系数和适度的平均项目间相关性表明，所有 31 个项目组成了一个单一的量表。问卷得分与饮酒史和人格的某些方面的相关性分别为效标和判别效度提供了支持。女性报告的当前信心比男性更高，但最近的狂饮状态并没有影响当前的信心。
鉴于其心理测量学特性的进一步证明，该问卷有望成为一种临床工具，以识别那些对自己运用认知行为应对策略减少饮酒能力缺乏信心的客户。
