Non-drinkers report experiencing stigma, which can act as a barrier to non-drinking. Two studies were undertaken to develop and test a new scale to measure attitudes towards non-drinkers. In Study 1, 29 items were presented to 426 Australian drinkers. In Study 2, the refined 12-item Cheers Attitudes to Non-drinkers Scale (CANS) was presented to 389 drinkers. Alcohol consumption, Harm and the Regan Attitudes towards Non-drinkers Scale (RANDS) were presented for scale validation. Exploratory factor analysis revealed three factors representing the Threats to Fun, Connection and Self that drinkers perceive non-drinkers to pose. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the scale meets the required fit indices and had good reliability (α = 0.842). Evidence of validity was shown through significant correlations with Alcohol Consumption, Harm and the RANDS. These studies show the CANS to be a reliable and valid measure that could be utilised to understand and modify the stigma experienced by non-drinkers.
不饮酒者报告称他们经历了污名化,这可能成为他们不饮酒的障碍。进行了两项研究来开发和测试一种新的量表,以衡量对不饮酒者的态度。在研究 1 中,向 426 名澳大利亚饮酒者展示了 29 个项目。在研究 2 中,向 389 名饮酒者展示了经过改进的 12 项 Cheers 对不饮酒者态度量表 (CANS)。为了进行量表验证,还呈现了酒精摄入量、伤害和雷根对不饮酒者态度量表 (RANDS)。探索性因素分析显示,饮酒者认为不饮酒者存在三种代表乐趣、联系和自我受到威胁的因素。验证性因素分析表明,该量表符合所需的拟合指数,具有良好的可靠性(α=0.842)。与酒精摄入量、伤害和 RANDS 的显著相关性证明了该量表的有效性。这些研究表明,CANS 是一种可靠和有效的测量工具,可以用来理解和改变不饮酒者所经历的污名化。
