本研究探讨了酒精依赖程度，作为操作的斯金纳和艾伦的酒精依赖量表（ADS），共变与同期和预测标准在住院酗酒者的样本。如前所述，ADS被发现是一维的和内部一致的。然而，与Skinner和Allen的研究结果相比，这些住院患者的ADS评分明显较低。与认知功能，精神和身体症状的并发措施的相关性往往小于，但在相同的方向，如以前报告的使用门诊样本。ADS评分并不能显著预测住院治疗、9个月随访期内自我报告的饮酒量或术后参与的持续时间。复发的患者在入院时报告了显著更高的ADS评分，然而，这种关系的程度是适度的（r = 0.16）。在其目前的形式，ADS似乎有公平的同时有效性，但有限的预测效用在住院酗酒者的样本。
The present study investigated whether the degree of alcohol dependence, as operationalized by Skinner and Allen''s Alcohol Dependence Scale (ADS), covaried with concurrent and predictive criteria in a sample of hospitalized alcoholics. As previously reported, the ADS was found to be unidimensional and internally consistent. However, compared to Skinner and Allen''s findings, these inpatients had significantly lower ADS scores. Correlations with concurrent measures of cognitive functioning, psychiatric and physical symptoms tended to be smaller than, but in the same direction, as those previously reported using an outpatient sample. ADS scores did not significantly predict attrition from inpatient treatment, self-reported alcohol consumption over 9-month follow-up or duration of aftercare involvement. Patients who relapsed reported significantly higher ADS scores at admission, however, the magnitude of this relationship was modest (r = 0.16). In its present form, the ADS appears to have fair concurrent validity, but limited predictive utility within a sample of inpatient alcoholics.
