The consistency among a number of measures of self-report of alcohol consumption in imprisoned male young offenders was studied by asking 56 young offenders to report, based on a 'typical week', how many days they had consumed alcohol, how many days they were drunk and how much alcohol they had consumed. They were asked to rate their confidence in the accuracy of their self-report and to complete the short EPQ-R, which contains a Lie Scale. Results show that self-report in this population is reliable over time and that different indices of alcohol consumption correlate significantly with each other. Young offenders report a moderate degree of confidence in their accuracy of self-report and the mean EPQ-R Lie Scale score is within 1 standard deviation of the norm for a comparable sample.
通过让56名年轻罪犯根据“典型一周”报告他们饮酒的天数、醉酒的天数以及饮酒量，研究了在被监禁的男性年轻罪犯中，多种酒精消费自我报告测量方法之间的一致性。他们被要求对自己自我报告准确性的信心进行评分，并完成简短的EPQ-R问卷，其中包含一个说谎量表。结果表明，该人群的自我报告随时间推移是可靠的，并且不同的酒精消费指标之间存在显著相关性。年轻罪犯对自己自我报告的准确性报告了中等程度的信心，并且EPQ-R说谎量表的平均得分在可比样本的正常范围的1个标准差之内。
