麦芽酒(ML)是一种独特的高酒精含量饮料，市场上鼓励大量饮酒。我们开发了麦芽酒预期问卷(MLEQ)，这是一种特定于饮料的酒精预期指标，并检查了它与典型的每周ML使用量、典型的每周饮酒量和酒精问题的相关性。对639名经常食用ML的年轻人进行了40个积极期望项目和40个消极期望项目的测试。探索性和验证性因素分析导致了30个条目的MLEQ的发展。MLEQ由两个积极因素(即社会促进和享受、增强的性行为)和两个消极因素(即攻击性和消极后果；损害和身体症状)组成，具有良好的内部一致性、重测信度和收敛效度。心理测量学上健全的MLEQ有助于对特定饮酒期望和大量饮酒的有限研究。
Malt liquor (ML) is a unique, high alcohol content beverage marketed to encourage heavy drinking. We developed the Malt Liquor Expectancy Questionnaire (MLEQ), a beverage-specific measure of alcohol expectancies, and examined its association with typical weekly ML use, typical weekly alcohol use, and alcohol problems. Forty positive and 40 negative expectancy items were administered to a sample of 639 young adults who regularly consumed ML. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses led to the development of the 30-item MLEQ. The MLEQ consists of two positive (ie, Social Facilitation and Enjoyment, Enhanced Sexuality) and two negative factors (ie, Aggression and Negative Consequences; Impairment and Physical Symptoms) that possess good internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and convergent validity. The psychometrically sound MLEQ contributes to the limited research on beverage-specific expectancies and heavy drinking.
