Past research, particularly in the area of adolescent smoking behavior, has suggested that more valid self-reports of socially undesirable behavior can be obtained when a bogus pipeline procedure is implemented. "Bogus pipeline" refers to a methodology in which subjects are informed that their self-reports can and will be objectively verified by the researcher through a procedure such as a biochemical test. In actuality, no verification takes place. Recent studies using this methodology have produced mixed results. In the current study, a bogus pipeline procedure designed to increase the validity of adolescents' self-reports of alcohol use and misuse was devised and evaluated as part of the pilot work for an alcohol misuse prevention study in southeastern Michigan schools. A total of 291 students in grades seven through nine were tested in the pilot study. Of these, 173 experienced the bogus pipeline approach in which saliva samples were collected, while 118 served as controls. The differences between the two conditions were examined with respect to nine variables concerning alcohol use and misuse. An overall frequency of use index and an overall misuse index were also examined. Two-way analyses of variance (treatment by grade level and treatment by gender) were conducted. The F values for a main effect of treatment ranged from .00 to 1.27 for the 11 variables. None of these was significant at the prespecified alpha level of .20. In addition, there was no interaction of the treatment procedure with either grade level or gender. In the context of a school-based study in which confidentiality was assured, adolescents' self-reports of alcohol use and misuse were not significantly affected by a bogus pipeline procedure.
过去的研究，尤其是在青少年吸烟行为领域，表明当实施虚假管道程序时，可以获得关于社会不良行为更有效的自我报告。“虚假管道”指的是一种方法，即告知受试者他们的自我报告可以并且将由研究人员通过诸如生化测试等程序进行客观验证。实际上，并没有进行验证。最近使用这种方法的研究结果不一。在当前的研究中，设计并评估了一种旨在提高青少年酒精使用和滥用自我报告有效性的虚假管道程序，作为密歇根州东南部学校预防酒精滥用研究试点工作的一部分。在试点研究中，对总共291名七至九年级的学生进行了测试。其中，173名学生经历了收集唾液样本的虚假管道方法，而118名学生作为对照组。就与酒精使用和滥用有关的九个变量，对两种情况之间的差异进行了检查。还检查了总体使用频率指数和总体滥用指数。进行了双向方差分析（按年级水平和按性别进行处理）。对于11个变量，处理的主效应的F值范围为0.00至1.27。在预先设定的α水平为0.20时，这些均无显著意义。此外，处理程序与年级水平或性别之间没有交互作用。在确保保密的基于学校的研究背景下，虚假管道程序对青少年酒精使用和滥用的自我报告没有显著影响。
