The aim of this study is to examine the capacity of different personality dimensions to predict early-onset alcoholism (EOA).
Participants were 176 consecutively admitted male inpatient alcohol dependents. Patients were grouped as EOA (onset before age 25) and late onset alcoholism (LOA).
Overall severity of psychopathology and alcohol dependence were higher in EOAs (51.1%) than LOAs, whereas self-directedness (SD) dimension of personality was lower in EOAs. Among the other personality dimensions only lower SD scores, together with lower current age predicted EOA.
Present study suggests that it is important to take EOA into consideration while planning the treatment of alcohol dependency, because of their higher probability of having low SD scores, as well as higher severity of psychopathology and alcohol-related problems.
本研究旨在探讨不同人格维度预测早发性酒精中毒(EOA)的能力。
参与者为176名连续入院的男性酒精依赖住院患者。患者被分为早发性酒精中毒组(发病年龄在25岁之前)和晚发性酒精中毒组(LOA)。
早发性酒精中毒组(51.1%)的精神病理学和酒精依赖的总体严重程度高于晚发性酒精中毒组,而早发性酒精中毒组的人格自我导向(SD)维度较低。在其他人格维度中,只有较低的自我导向得分以及较低的当前年龄可预测早发性酒精中毒。
本研究表明,在规划酒精依赖治疗时考虑早发性酒精中毒很重要,因为他们更有可能具有较低的自我导向得分,以及更高的精神病理学严重程度和与酒精相关的问题。
