The Alcohol Effects Questionnaire-3 (AEQ-3) shows moderate fit and invariance across groups for measuring alcohol expectancies. However, discriminant validity requires improvement for reliable use.

Area of Science:

  • Psychosocial research on alcohol use and abuse.
  • Development and validation of psychological assessment instruments.

Background:

  • The alcohol expectancy construct is key in understanding alcohol use.
  • Previous instruments include the 90-item Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire (AEQ) and the 40-item Alcohol Effects Questionnaire (AEQ-2).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the AEQ-3, a modified AEQ-2 with a six-point scale.
  • To confirm its factor structure and assess invariance across gender and race subgroups.

Main Methods:

  • Administered the AEQ-3 to a large general population sample (N = 1,260).
  • Utilized confirmatory factor analyses to test an eight-factor model.
  • Assessed model invariance across race and gender.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • The eight-factor model demonstrated a moderately good fit to the data.
  • The model's fit was largely invariant across race and gender subgroups.
  • Inadequate discriminant validity was identified through factor intercorrelations and modification indices.

Conclusions:

  • The AEQ-3 is cautiously recommended for measuring alcohol expectancies.
  • Further recommendations and limitations for its use are discussed.
