Résumé : |
ENGLISH : This article begins with a recognition that self-report information obtained from individuals with addictive disorders is subject to bias and random error. The article ends with some recommandations about how the accuracy of this information can be improved to the point where it is useful for various types of applied research such as treatment outcome investigations, epidemiological studies, population surveys and studies of treatment process. to provide a logical, if not empirical, basis for recpmmendations about how to improve the accuracy of verbal report methods; we devote the central part of this paper to the description of a heuristic model of the questions-answering process. By focusing on the way in which questions are asked and resonded to, some logical inferences can be made about the sources of invalidity and the means to correct them. Finally this paper considers the extend to which complete veridicality is either necessary or desirable in different types of applied research, and how verbal report methods compare to objective indicators of addictive behaviors that have been advanced as a possible "gold standard". |
