摘要
This project explores the cross-national construct validity of the Alcohol Dependence Syndrome. The investigation also examines basic psychometric properties of the Alcohol Dependence Scale (ADS), an instrument commonly employed to measure dependence. Subjects consisted of inpatients and outpatients in American and Russian alcoholism treatment programs. Despite some variations, an orthogonal four factor structure of the ADS appears similar across the two cultural samples, thus lending support to the alcohol dependence construct. Analyses of psychometric properties of the Scale generally support its value in future cross-cultural research on alcohol dependence.
