a psychometric comparison of the toronto alexithymia scale tas 20 and the observer alexithymia scale oas in an alcohol Dependent Sample
Personality and Individual Differences, 2010Co-Authors: Fred Arne Thorberg, Ross Mcd. Young, Karen A. Sullivan, Michael Lyvers, Jason P. Connor, Gerald F.x. FeeneyAbstract:Alexithymia is characterised by deficits in emotional insight and self-reflection that impact on the efficacy of psychological treatments. Given the high prevalence of alexithymia in Alcohol Use Disorders, valid assessment tools are critical. The majority of research on the relationship between alexithymia and alcohol-dependence has employed the self-administered Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). The Observer Alexithymia Scale (OAS) has also been recommended. The aim of the present study was to assess the validity and reliability of the OAS and the TAS-20 in an alcohol-Dependent Sample. Two hundred and ten alcohol-Dependent participants in an outpatient Cognitive Behavioral Treatment program were administered the TAS-20 at assessment and upon treatment completion at 12 weeks. Clinical psychologists provided observer assessment data for a subSample of 159 patients. The findings confirmed acceptable internal consistency, test–retest reliability and scale homogeneity for both the OAS and TAS-20, except for the low internal consistency of the TAS-20 EOT scale. The TAS-20 was more strongly associated with alcohol problems than the OAS. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A confirmatory factor analysis of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) in an alcohol-Dependent Sample
Psychiatry research, 2010Co-Authors: Fred Arne Thorberg, Ross Mcd. Young, Karen A. Sullivan, Michael Lyvers, Cameron Hurst, Jason P. Connor, Gerald F.x. FeeneyAbstract:Confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to evaluate the factorial validity of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale in an alcohol-Dependent Sample. Several factor models were examined, but all models were rejected given their poor fit. A revision of the TAS-20 in alcohol-Dependent populations may be needed.
