Abstract
A French adaptation of the Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire was able to provide data with hierarchical properties predicted from Goldman et al. (Psychol. Assess. 9 (1997) 145) study. The hierarchical structure was replicated using parcelled data from a sample of 1006 adult French drinkers, mean age = 22. Using criteria of stochastic homogeneity and geometrical consistency to select the measurement variables led to a 16-item solution. As Goldman et al.’s results suggested, the general factor could be replaced by factor Arousal/Power, with an acceptable goodness-of-fit, χ 2(101, N = 1006) = 203.8. A MIMIC model suggested that the factor Arousal/Power was positively associated with a dichotomous measure of drinking habit, d = 0.83.
