This study assessed the score reliability of the Drinking Motives Questionnaire-Revised (DMQ-R) via generalizability theory. Participants (n = 367 college students) completed the DMQ-R at three time points. Across subscale scores, persons, persons x occasions, and persons x items interactions accounted for meaningful variance. Findings illustrate advantages of generalizability theory-based techniques. (Contains 5 tables.)
