Alcoholism is known to be a familial disorder and the presence of a family history of alcoholism is recognized as an important variable in alcoholism research. The course and consequences of alcoholism in a group of men alcoholics are examined in relation to family pedigree for alcoholism. Consideration was also given to antisocial personality, a variable that may underlie and contribute to a positive family history of alcoholism. The presence of antisocial personality affected the course of alcoholism to a greater extent than having a positive pedigree for alcoholism. On the other hand, having a pedigree positive for alcoholism was more important in explaining the consequences of alcohol misuse than antisocial personality. The theoretical and methodological implications of these findings for future research are discussed.
酗酒被认为是一种家族性疾病，酗酒家族史的存在被视为酗酒研究中的一个重要变量。一组男性酗酒者的酗酒过程及后果与酗酒家族谱系相关联进行了研究。研究还考虑了反社会人格这一变量，它可能是酗酒家族史呈阳性的潜在因素并对其有促成作用。反社会人格的存在比酗酒家族谱系呈阳性对酗酒过程的影响更大。另一方面，在解释酒精滥用的后果方面，酗酒家族谱系呈阳性比反社会人格更为重要。文中讨论了这些研究结果对未来研究的理论和方法学意义。
