Abstract

The social plasticity hypothesis proposes that social attunement, i.e., the adaptation to and harmonization with one's environment, plays a crucial role in the risk for developing alcohol use disorders (AUDs) during adolescence, whereas in adulthood it paradoxically may make individuals more sensitive to the social pull to reduce drinking. This study aimed to develop a valid measure of social attunement: the social attunement questionnaire (SAQ). A total of 26-items were developed and the questionnaire was completed by 576 Dutch mid to late adolescents and adults over three rounds of online data collection. Using exploratory factor analysis in part of the sample (N = 373), the final questionnaire was reduced to two subscales with a total of 11 items. This structure was confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis in the second part of the sample (N = 203). Results showed that the SAQ has acceptable internal consistency, good measurement invariance to gender, and subscales assessing both cognitive as well as behavioural components of social attunement. In line with expectations on alcohol use settings, SAQ scores were not associated directly with alcohol use, but they were predictive of alcohol use when taking into account the interaction between perceived peer drinking and age. The SAQ appears suitable for the assessment of social attunement in (young) adult men and women, particularly assessing the role of social attunement in alcohol use settings. Further research is needed to confirm the utility of the SAQ in older adults and a broader variety of social settings.

荷兰社会适应性问卷(SAQ)的开发与验证。
社会可塑性假说(social plasticity hypothesis)认为,社会适应(即适应环境并与环境和谐相处)在青少年时期罹患酒精使用障碍(AUDs)的风险中起着至关重要的作用,而在成年期,社会适应却可能使个体对减少饮酒的社会拉力更加敏感。本研究旨在开发一种有效的社会适应性测量方法:社会适应性问卷(SAQ)。在三轮在线数据收集过程中,共有 576 名荷兰中后期青少年和成年人填写了问卷。通过对部分样本(N = 373)进行探索性因子分析,最终问卷缩减为两个子量表,共 11 个项目。在第二部分样本(N = 203)中使用确认性因素分析确认了这一结构。结果表明,SAQ 具有可接受的内部一致性、良好的性别测量不变性以及评估社会适应的认知和行为部分的子量表。与对酒精使用环境的预期一致,SAQ 分数与酒精使用没有直接联系,但考虑到感知到的同伴饮酒与年龄之间的相互作用,SAQ 分数可以预测酒精使用情况。SAQ似乎适用于评估(年轻)成年男性和女性的社会适应性,特别是评估社会适应性在酒精使用环境中的作用。要确认 SAQ 在老年人和更广泛的社会环境中的实用性,还需要进一步的研究。
