A study of 22 glue sniffers and 22 non-sniffers was carried out with individuals from the same reference group. The subjects were all street children living in supervised shelters. No statistically significant differences were found between the sniffers and non-sniffers on cognitive measures or biographical features (e.g. time spent at school, years on the street). When rated by shelter staff on a modified version of the Christiansen Rating Scale (1967) the sniffers were perceived to be significantly more disturbed in their relationships with others, however, methodological issues do not permit conclusive evidence of behavioural differences to be drawn. The authors conclude that the findings lend support for the view that the effects of volatile substance abuse on cognitive and personality functioning cannot be clearly demonstrated.
对来自同一参照组的22名胶水吸食者和22名非吸食者进行了一项研究。研究对象均为居住在有监管庇护所的街头儿童。在认知指标或个人经历特征（如在校时间、流浪时间）方面，吸食者和非吸食者之间未发现具有统计学意义的差异。然而，当庇护所工作人员根据修改版的克里斯蒂安森评定量表（1967年）进行评定时，吸食者被认为在与他人的关系中明显更困扰。不过，方法学问题使得无法得出行为差异的确凿证据。作者得出结论，这些研究结果支持了这样一种观点，即挥发性物质滥用对认知和人格功能的影响无法得到明确证明。
