Pattern reliability, or the invariance of relationships among variables, was investigated in this study. The consistency of theoretical constructs reflected by measures taken at two separate occasions can be tested using confirmatory factor analysis. Self-report data were obtained from 323 narcotics addicts in two face-to-face interviews conducted in 1974/75 and 1985/86. The two interviews overlapped approximately 4 years between 1970 and 1974/75. Through the testing of the invariance of measurement and structural models, pattern reliability was confirmed in one of the models developed. Explication of pattern reliability offers an alternative means of assessing validity of self-report data.
本研究对模式可靠性，即变量间关系的不变性进行了调查。可以使用验证性因素分析来检验在两个不同时间点所采取的测量方法所反映的理论结构的一致性。自我报告数据来自于1974/75年和1985/86年进行的两次面对面访谈中的323名吸毒成瘾者。这两次访谈在1970年至1974/75年期间大约有4年的重叠时间。通过对测量模型和结构模型不变性的检验，在所开发的其中一个模型中证实了模式可靠性。模式可靠性的阐释为评估自我报告数据的有效性提供了另一种方法。
