Using alcoholics as subjects, the present study attempted a replication of Kirton's 1978 study in which he demonstrated a relationship between his adaption-innovation theory and Witkin's concept of field dependence/independence. Correlations obtained in the present study paralleled those of Kirton. As a group, alcoholics tended to be field-dependent in orientation. Innovators were less field-dependent than adaptors and "average" individuals. It was suggested that the varied characteristics of alcoholics should be considered when planning therapeutic strategies.
本研究以酗酒者为研究对象，试图复制柯顿1978年的研究，他在该研究中证明了其适应 - 创新理论与威特金的场依存性/独立性概念之间的关系。本研究得到的相关性与柯顿的研究结果相似。总体而言，酗酒者在取向方面倾向于场依存型。创新者比适应者和“普通”个体的场依存性更低。研究建议，在制定治疗策略时应考虑酗酒者的各种特征。
