Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

The Drinking Expectancy Questionnaire (DEQ) now has established norms for its five-factor structure. This helps differentiate alcohol-dependent individuals from students, with higher negative consequence expectancies linked to clinical populations.

Background:

The Drinking Expectancy Questionnaire (DEQ) is a widely used tool in clinical and research settings.
A revised five-factor scoring method for the DEQ has been proposed.
Normative data for the revised DEQ scoring method are currently unavailable.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish sample means for the five DEQ expectancy subscales.
To compare these means between adults with alcohol dependence and university students.
To provide normative data for the revised DEQ scoring method.

Main Methods:

Data were collected from 163 adults in hospital treatment for alcohol dependence and 110 university undergraduates.
Means were calculated for five DEQ subscales: Social Confidence, Sexual Interest, Cognitive Enhancement, Tension Reduction, and Negative Consequences.
A Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to identify a diagnostic cut-off score.

Main Results:

Clinical sample means were generally higher than student means, except for Sexual Interest.
The Negative Consequences subscale mean was significantly higher in the clinical sample (over two standard deviations).
A DEQ total score cut-off of 107 effectively distinguished dependent drinkers from student drinkers.

Conclusions:

The study provides crucial normative data for the revised five-factor DEQ.
Elevated negative consequence expectancies are characteristic of alcohol dependence.
The DEQ demonstrates clinical utility in differentiating alcohol dependence levels.
