The relationship between impulsivity, empathy, substance-free lifestyle and participation in Twelve Step self-help groups is investigated. Utilizing S. B. G. Eysenck et al.s' Impulsivity Questionnaire (1-7) members of three self-help 'clubs' were assessed for traits of empathy and impulsiveness. Impulsivity correlated positively with total number of substance abuse 'slips', and negatively with total months of substance abstinence. Empathy was correlated positively with length of abstinence and hours spent in Twelve Step self-help activities per week. Possible interpretations and application of these findings to clinical recommendations are discussed.
研究了冲动性、同理心、无物质生活方式与参与十二步自助团体之间的关系。利用S.B.G.艾森克等人的冲动性问卷（1 - 7），对三个自助“俱乐部”的成员进行了同理心和冲动性特征评估。冲动性与药物滥用“失误”的总数呈正相关，与药物戒断的总月数呈负相关。同理心与戒断时间长度以及每周在十二步自助活动中花费的小时数呈正相关。讨论了这些发现对临床建议的可能解释和应用。
