The drinking refusal self-efficacy questionnaire (DRSEQ) was revised to the DRSEQ-R, showing a more stable factor structure. This validated tool aids future alcohol-related research and interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Substance Abuse Research

Background:

  • The Drinking Refusal Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (DRSEQ) is a key tool for assessing alcohol resistance beliefs.
  • Existing research utilized exploratory factor analyses, but confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was lacking for the DRSEQ.
  • A robust psychometric instrument requires validation through CFA across diverse populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To confirm the factor structure of the DRSEQ using CFA.
  • To develop and validate a revised version (DRSEQ-R) if the original structure was not supported.
  • To evaluate the psychometric properties of the revised DRSEQ-R.

Main Methods:

  • A large-scale study involving 2773 participants from community, student, and clinical samples.

  • Confirmatory factor analysis was employed to test the original DRSEQ structure.
  • Exploratory factor analysis was used to derive a revised structure (DRSEQ-R), which was then subjected to CFA.

    • Main Results:

    • The original DRSEQ factor structure was not confirmed in the current study's sample.
    • A revised factor structure, the DRSEQ-R, was developed and successfully confirmed via CFA.
    • The DRSEQ-R demonstrated good construct and concurrent validity and superior structural stability compared to the original DRSEQ.

    Conclusions:

    • The revised Drinking Refusal Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (DRSEQ-R) offers a more stable and validated measure of alcohol resistance self-efficacy.
    • The DRSEQ-R exhibits strong psychometric properties, making it suitable for diverse populations.
    • This validated scale holds significant potential for advancing future research and interventions in alcohol-related studies.
