Scenario context A
You have recently been appointed as the psychologist at a school. The school board and the parent
association are becoming increasingly concerned about illegal drug use amongst learners at the school.
Your predecessor began a preventative program, but the programme was aimed mainly at disseminating
information. You realise that you also have to identify and target learners who are at risk for illegal drug
use. You decide that the easiest and most economical way of doing this is to use a questionnaire to
identify learners at risk. This will allow you to tailor prevention programmes to accommodate the needs
and circumstances of these learners.

You consult academic literature on the issue of drug abuse and the use of illegal drugs. In the literature
you come across an interesting fact, namely that there is a correlation between alcohol abuse and the
tendency to abuse other drugs or to use illegal drugs. Thus information about learners’ use of alcohol
could indicate whether they should be considered at risk for drug abuse in general. You also notice that
many of the publications refer to a particular theory that explains how behaviour can be predicted. You
think the theory could be important because it could help to predict whether somebody would actually
begin to abuse drugs or use illegal drugs. You search the literature for papers on this theory, and come
across two articles explaining what the authors refer to as ‘the theory of planned behaviour’.

According to the theory of planned behaviour there are psychological factors that predict whether or not
a person will execute a particular form of behaviour. Behaviour is preceded by the intention to execute
the behaviour. The stronger the intention to execute the behaviour the more likely a person is to actually
execute the behaviour in question. Three factors underlie the intention to execute behaviour. These
factors are the person’s attitude towards the behaviour, his/her subjective norm concerning the
behaviour and his/her perceived control with regard to the behaviour. Thus a person will form a strong
intention to act (execute a particular form of behaviour) if he/she feels positive about the behaviour
(positive attitude), thinks the behaviour is socially acceptable (positive subjective norm) and that nothing
stops him/her from executing the behaviour (positive control).

You contact several test publishers and finally come across a questionnaire called the Alcohol use
Intention Questionnaire (AIQ). You order the questionnaire from the test publisher. When the AIQ
arrives you decide to conduct a thorough analysis to determine whether the questionnaire is a
scientifically valid and reliable instrument. There are four psychology students undergoing practical
training at the school under your guidance. You ask them to study the questionnaire (B) and its mini
manual (C) and you schedule two meetings (D and E) to discuss the instrument.
