Investigated the empirical validity of the MacAndrew Alcoholism Scale as a measure of alcohol abuse and a bipolar personality dimension, hypothesized by MacAndrew (1979) to mediate addiction-proneness among males, in a sample of N = 160 adolescent male offenders, who were classified according to pattern of alcohol intoxication. Classification accuracy was comparable to studies of adult males, e.g., 75% correct, but only 53.1% correct for marijuana use. There were significant personality differences (as measured by the California Psychological Inventory) between true positives and false negatives. As predicted, the true positive group resembled the Emotional Extraversion (Secondary Psychopathy) character orientation. Contrary to predictions, the false negative group did not resemble the Emotional Introversion (Dysthymic or Neurotic) character orientation, although they were more inhibited, less angry, and less inclined to antisocial acts than were true positives. Some observed differences in reported uses of alcohol were unexpected, e.g., true positives were more inclined to drink when they were coping with feelings of inadequacy, dysphoric affect, or interpersonal problems. Some limitations of the test when used with young males were discussed.
在一个由N = 160名青少年男性罪犯组成的样本中，研究了麦克安德鲁酒精中毒量表作为酒精滥用测量工具和双极人格维度的实证效度。麦克安德鲁（1979年）假设该量表可调节男性的成瘾倾向，这些青少年男性罪犯根据酒精中毒模式进行了分类。分类准确率与对成年男性的研究相当，例如，对酒精使用情况的判断正确率为75%，但对大麻使用情况的判断正确率仅为53.1%。真阳性和假阴性之间存在显著的人格差异（通过加利福尼亚心理问卷测量）。正如预测的那样，真阳性组类似于情绪外向型（继发性精神病态）性格取向。与预测相反，假阴性组并不类似于情绪内向型（心境恶劣或神经质）性格取向，尽管他们比真阳性组更受抑制、更少愤怒且更不倾向于反社会行为。一些在报告的酒精使用情况中观察到的差异是出乎意料的，例如，真阳性组在应对不足感、烦躁情绪或人际问题时更倾向于饮酒。文中讨论了该测试在用于年轻男性时的一些局限性。
