A study was conducted on 30 wives of alcoholics using Orford-Guthrie's 'coping with drinking' questionnaire. Tlie commonest coping behaviour reported was discord, avoidance, indulgence and fearful withdrawal while marital breakdown, taking special action, assertion and sexual withdrawal were least frequent. There was no significant correlation between the coping behaviours and the variables like duration of marriage, duration of husband's alcoholism, socio-economic and educational status. Implications of these findings are discussed and a cross cultural comparison is made.
一项针对 30 名酗酒者妻子的研究使用了 Orford-Guthrie 的“应对饮酒”问卷。报告的最常见应对行为是不和谐、回避、放纵和恐惧退缩，而婚姻破裂、采取特殊行动、主张和性退缩则很少见。应对行为与婚姻持续时间、丈夫酗酒持续时间、社会经济和教育状况等变量之间没有显著相关性。讨论了这些发现的意义，并进行了跨文化比较。
