The relationship between alcoholism, depression, life-stress events and purpose-in-life is a very complex one. Thirty-five first admission alcoholics and an equal number of members of Alcoholics Anonymous were assessed, using objective measures of alcoholism, depression, stress and purpose-in-life. The results indicate that there were significant differences between the two groups on drinking behaviour, depression and purpose-in-life. No differences were found between the groups on the stress questionnaire. Positive correlations were found between drinking behaviour and depression, life events and purpose-in-life.
酗酒、抑郁、生活压力事件与生活目的之间的关系非常复杂。对35名首次入院的酗酒者和同等数量的戒酒互助会成员进行了评估，采用了酗酒、抑郁、压力和生活目的的客观测量方法。结果表明，两组在饮酒行为、抑郁和生活目的方面存在显著差异。在压力问卷方面，两组之间未发现差异。饮酒行为与抑郁、生活事件与生活目的之间存在正相关。
