The Italian form of the Adolescent Reinforcement Survey Schedule (ARSS‐I) was administered to ( N = 648) high school boys and girls from northern and central Italy. Their responses were factor analyzed using a principal component, VARIMAX rotation procedure (SAS Institute, Inc., 1990). The 10 interpretable factors from the Italian data were compared and contrasted to factor analytic results from Holmes (1991, 1994) studies using American and Japanese students. Additionally, the Italian data analyses includes an examination by gender using t tests for each of the ARSS‐I items and an ANOVA for age and age–gender effects on responses to the ARSS‐I. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
