The Substance Use Risk Profile Scale (SURPS), a widely used self-report questionnaire, assesses four personality traits which predict risk for substance use (i.e., anxiety sensitivity, hopelessness, impulsivity, and sensation seeking). Given its use in research and clinical settings, as well as potential utility, this study aimed to provide a comprehensive psychometric evaluation of the SURPS. Undergraduate participants ( = 718; 69% White; 26% Hispanic, aged 18-25 years, = 19.00, = 1.33) completed a battery of measures, including the SURPS. Tests of measurement invariance, convergent and criterion validity, and internal consistency were conducted, as well as item response theory analyses and a treatment assignment simulation. Several items were removed before partial measurement invariance across gender was established with little information lost. Despite removing several SURPS items, the proposed factor structure was not empirically supported. More work is necessary to determine the predictive utility of assessing these personality traits to predict substance-related outcomes.
物质使用风险特征量表 (SURPS) 是一种广泛使用的自我报告问卷,评估了四个预测物质使用风险的人格特质(即焦虑敏感性、绝望感、冲动性和寻求刺激)。鉴于其在研究和临床环境中的使用以及潜在的效用,本研究旨在对 SURPS 进行全面的心理测量评估。本研究纳入了 718 名本科生参与者(69%为白人;26%为西班牙裔,年龄在 18-25 岁之间,均值为 19.00,标准差为 1.33),他们完成了一系列的测量工具,包括 SURPS。本研究进行了测量不变性、收敛和效标效度以及内部一致性的检验,以及项目反应理论分析和治疗分配模拟。在性别上建立部分测量不变性之前,有几个项目被删除,几乎没有丢失信息。尽管删除了几个 SURPS 项目,但提出的因子结构在经验上没有得到支持。需要做更多的工作来确定评估这些人格特质以预测与物质相关的结果的预测效用。
