This study examines patterns of individual stability and group change in mood states as measured by scores on the six Profile of Mood States (POMS) scales in a sample of inpatient alcoholics. Stability coefficients based on POMS scores from administrations at hospital admission and after 6 weeks of inpatient treatment ranged from a low of .36 for the Vigor-Activity scale to a high of .63 for the Confusion-Bewilderment scale. These stability estimates are comparable to those found in a previous study involving nonalcoholic psychiatric outpatients. The significant mean group changes found between admission and 6 weeks on each of the POMS scales consistently reflect improvement in mood and are generally similar in magnitude to those found previously using the POMS with both inpatient alcoholics and nonselected psychiatric outpatients.
本研究通过对一组住院酗酒者的六种情绪状态剖面图（POMS）量表得分进行测量，考察了情绪状态的个体稳定性和群体变化模式。基于入院时及住院治疗6周后的POMS得分得出的稳定性系数，从活力-活动量表的低至0.36到困惑-迷茫量表的高至0.63不等。这些稳定性估计值与之前一项涉及非酒精性精神科门诊患者的研究结果相当。在各POMS量表上，入院时与6周时发现的显著平均群体变化一致反映了情绪的改善，且在幅度上通常与之前对住院酗酒者和非特定精神科门诊患者使用POMS时的发现相似。
