This study examined a hypothesis first presented in the medical literature that persons who drink greater amounts of alcohol are more frequently involved in automobile accidents even though they were not under the influence of alcohol at the time of their accidents. Subjects were 130 undergraduates who contributed self-reports of automobile accidents in the preceding three years, near-miss accidents per week, and questionnaire measures of sociopathy, alcohol and drug use, and distortion (lie scale). No support was found for the alcohol hypothesis or a similar drug hypothesis. A very marginal link, however, was observed between accident involvement and sociopathic tendencies.
本研究检验了医学文献中首次提出的一个假设，即饮酒量较大的人更频繁地卷入汽车事故，即使他们在事故发生时并未受到酒精影响。研究对象为130名本科生，他们提供了前三年汽车事故的自我报告、每周险些发生事故的情况，以及关于反社会人格、酒精和药物使用及歪曲（说谎量表）的问卷调查数据。未发现支持酒精假设或类似药物假设的证据。然而，在事故卷入与反社会倾向之间观察到一个非常微弱的联系。
