Abstract
This paper explores the stability, internal consistency, content validity, concurrent validity, and factor structure of the Psychological Inventory of Drug-Based Thinking Styles (PIDTS), a putative measure of drug-related thinking patterns, in a group of 125 substance misusing Veterans Administration domiciliary residents. The test-retest stability and internal consistency of the PIDTS thinking style scales were found to be adequate and several of these scales were shown to correlate with self-reported alcohol use patterns, concerns, and consequences.
