In a cross-sectional study, the psychological profile of light social drinkers was compared with that of heavy social drinkers and alcohol-dependent patients who showed no evidence of clinical depression. The selection of psychological tests was based on the hypothesis that alcohol abuse and depression may sometimes be different expressions of the same disorder, and that the relationship between the two disorders may in part be explicable in terms of shared psychological vulnerability factors. The tests chosen were those thought most likely to predict vulnerability to depression. Dependent patients demonstrated significantly greater distortion of cognitive style than heavy social drinkers, who in turn rated significantly higher than light drinkers. Heavy social drinkers occupied a middle ground with regard to psychological profile between light drinkers and 'alcoholics', sharing some attributes with each. Possible implication for interventions by general practitioners are discussed.
在一项横断面研究中，对轻度社交饮酒者的心理特征与重度社交饮酒者以及未表现出临床抑郁迹象的酒精依赖患者的心理特征进行了比较。心理测试的选择基于这样的假设，即酒精滥用和抑郁有时可能是同一疾病的不同表现，并且这两种疾病之间的关系部分可以用共同的心理易损因素来解释。所选择的测试是那些被认为最有可能预测抑郁易感性的测试。依赖患者表现出的认知风格扭曲程度明显高于重度社交饮酒者，而重度社交饮酒者的得分又明显高于轻度饮酒者。重度社交饮酒者在心理特征方面处于轻度饮酒者和“酗酒者”之间的中间位置，与两者都有一些共同特征。文中讨论了对全科医生干预措施的可能启示。
