Abstract
A comparison of the factor structures of alcohol effect expectancies of adults (aged 18 and older) and adolescents (aged 12–17) was conducted. Data were from a nationally representative sample of United States residents. Two factors were extracted for the adults, and three for the adolescents. General positive and negative factors were common to each solution. In addition, the adolescent solution contained a factor related to alcohol-induced sexual enhancement. The pattern and magnitude of the loadings for the adult and adolescent negative factor were nearly identical, and the positive factors were very similar. Results are consistent with a two-factor model of alcohol expectancies among adults, with slightly more differentiated expectancies among adolescents.
